From Closed Off to Wide Open

This 1960s kitchen was tight, dark, and cut off from the rest of the house, a narrow galley with a wall separating it from the old dining room. Taking that wall down changed everything. The kitchen now opens straight into what had been a rarely used room, and the whole main level breathes differently because of it.

The new layout gave us room for a proper island, new Waypoint cabinetry, and quartz countertops that hold up to real cooking. New over-head lighting with the under-cabinet lighting over the food prep areas mean the cook is no longer working in their own shadow. What was once a cramped corner of the house is now where the family actually gathers.
