Windham Kitchen Remodel
On this
particular kitchen remodeling project, we have several areas
that need to be addressed in order to create a more
functional and inviting kitchen for the home. To begin with,
the wall separating the kitchen and dining room will be cut
down to 42" off the floor creating a more open area and a
new bar top will be installed for those quick breakfast
meals for the children. Not only will this half wall
help develop a more "open concept" which is always a sought
after detail with most homebuyers today, but in the end
provide a valued feature to the home. Secondly, with the
kitchen sink currently installed on an interior wall, there
is no practical way to enjoy the backyard view and the sun
during those warm summer mornings. So the plan is to spin
things around, raise the current window to a height
expectable for a kitchen sink and install a sink which will
now face a backyard, the sun and a window equipped with a
much desired window sill!
So let's
begin.
