Small Kitchen (before & after)

The owners of this immaculately maintained small house had already added on a master bedroom suite and finished the basement so they had plenty of living area.  The problem was the kitchen was still closed off in its own little space.  This made the living room, dining room and kitchen, three very small and separate spaces, which was fine in the 60's but it doesn't fit today's lifestyle.  We opened it up to create a single living space that mimics the "living area" that you would find in a much larger home built today.
