THE ECLECTIC TREASURE
Living room, kitchen, and bath.
BEFORE
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This galley kitchen was very narrow and did not allow the couple to work together comfortably. They wanted more prep/counter space, a larger sink, and broom/pantry/appliance storage. They also wanted indoor/outdoor integration, a good flow into the rear yard, and plenty of natural light.
To avoid taking away from the existing main floor plan, we expanded the kitchen with a small addition. A large island with a big country sink created space on the outer countertops for small everyday appliances. A hidden broom closet holds cleaning supplies and brooms.
A large patio door leading to a covered deck floods the kitchen with natural light for indoor/outdoor integration. A larger window in the sitting area also brings more natural light to the main floor. We moved the mudroom door by 4 feet to allow for a more aesthetic look from the living room and better flow for the mudroom/entry.
The bathroom was small, cramped and in need of a facelift. We removed a small linen closet so we could move the vanity into this space. This helped to create a larger, more spacious bathroom. A brilliant textured turquoise tile surrounds the new tub with a glass bath screen that folds 180 degrees.
