"When she first met her clients, the design brief was clear. They wanted "a beautiful space to cook in, but also a beautiful space for people to gather at an island," Storms says. By lightening, brightening, and upping the functionality of the room, she'd create the family's dream kitchen - in the exact same small footprint. The project would just take careful planning and a little creativity."
"Once the demo was complete, Storms kicked her design plan into high gear. She had her contractor rebuild the room from the ground up with a new configuration that prioritized both cabinet and prep space as well as a more logical flow. In terms of cabinetry, a large counter-to-ceiling cabinet was worked into the scheme for countertop appliance storage, while a pull-out spice rack and oil storage area was incorporated inside one of the cupboards."
A gut renovation transformed a cramped, dark 100-square-foot 1933 Colonial Revival kitchen. The original layout had poor flow with four doorways, honey brown cabinets, dark red clay tiles, short cabinetry despite high ceilings, and minimal storage. The clients wanted a beautiful cooking space and an island for gathering. The redesign kept the same footprint while lightening, brightening, and increasing functionality. The contractor rebuilt the room with a new configuration prioritizing cabinet and prep space and better flow. Cabinet solutions included a counter-to-ceiling appliance cabinet, a pull-out spice rack and oil storage, and cabinets extended to a 9-foot ceiling.
