By removing
the wall between the kitchen and dining room, an open concept floor-plan was
made possible. The custom built in bench seating delineates the dining space
and anchors the room at one end while the new fireplace surround,
flat-screen TV location and separate bar space provide a focal point in the
adjacent room. The outdated kitchen oak cabinets, tile counter-tops and mis-matched
appliances were replaced with white painted shaker cabinetry, dark grey
granite counter-tops with unique white veining and stainless appliances. A
custom dog eating area was created that seamlessly blends in with the new
space while being discretely tucked away.
