Opened up space by removing walls to kitchen and adjacent foyer closet. Re-located
closet to where current pantry was. Moved main entry door to accommodate better flow
of plan and added a small window for additional light. Incorporated a larger kitchen
window above the sink area to allow more natural light and air flow. Created custom
stone hearth surround around stove with custom cherry mantle. Used new cherry cabinetry
topped with quartz countertops and replaced dark terracotta tiled floors with Amendoim
exotic hard wood. Added ceramic tiled backsplash with copper accents. Built a custom
cherry butcher block countertop for island, which sits on creamy white bead board
cabinetry, offering a nice contrast to the cherry cabinetry and introducing the cottage
flair. Pendant light fixtures illuminate task areas as well as offer ambient lighting
and wall sconces for accent lighting.
