Project Description
Client’s Goals
- Open up the small kitchen, adjacent to a large and dark unused living room.
- Consider moving the kitchen to the space currently used as a home office (located off of their living room) that featured cathedral ceilings.
- Keep the space full of light.
- Create a space fit for cooking and entertaining friends.
Designers’ Solutions
- Create an alternate plan after the clients determined that moving the kitchen to the home office area would be too difficult and expensive with regard to moving plumbing, electrical and gas lines, and resigned themselves to keeping the kitchen in its current location.
- Proposed an alternative plan that would still allow them to work beyond their cramped space.
- Took down a wall between the kitchen and living room and moved kitchen into living room space.
- Built a banquette with a farm table for meals in the old kitchen space.
- Installed a seating area by the windows for reading the paper in the morning.
- Opened doorway between living room and home office, then turned office into formal dining room.
- Designed an island that would create a division between cooking and living areas using cherry cabinetry for a furniture-like look.
Cost
The initial cost of the kitchen was $50,000, which increased to $19,250 to a final cost of $69,250 due to the selection of a different and more expensive cabinetry style. The client also added a butcher block countertop, which was not part of the initial quote.
