Renovate My Kitchen—Before and After

We all love a good kitchen renovation and this one is a total reorganization of the space. The kitchen was flipped from one end of the room to the other. Plumbing, electric, range, fridge—all were relocated to make better use of the space. Now the mudroom and kitchen are located near the garage entrance and not just off the entry. I love it when a great plan comes to life. I think this was a 1980s kitchen…and now it is working perfection in 2019. There are two islands, one for prep and one for serving and entertaining—love that. The ice maker and wine cooler and located in the coffee bar area next to the new entertaining island…how easy is that! The glasses and china are also in a tall cabinet near this island. Getting ready for a party here must be quick and easy with this plan. They even have a Dog Spa located next to the back entry and mudroom—perfect for those muddy paws. Enjoy the kitchen tour and look for a few ideas you can use in your own kitchen right now.
