Kitchen rebuild

The Kitchen. A work in progress.

The kitchen is the center of life at home. Whenever I have visited friends over the years, we usually end up congregating in the kitchen. My goal is to try to make our kitchen a friendly place.

The original “kitchen” was unworkable, two separate rooms, one used as the reception office, and the other a narrow space where breakfast was prepared. It was never meant to be a “live-in” kitchen.

We combined the two rooms, into a kitchen which also serves a informal eating or breakfast room. It is also intentionally bright so those cold winter mornings, and evenings, don’t seem quite so overwhelming.

The two rooms used to look like…
