From Cramped Kitchen to Magnificent Metamorphosis

KITCHEN REMODEL

There's a Place for Everything

There is nothing quite so overwhelming as deciding where everything in your kitchen needs to go. From the strainer to the toaster, determining an appropriate place is a lot of pressure. Additionally, everything needs to be easily accessible so that whether short or tall, the homeowner can reach it without the hassle of a step stool. When it came to designing this kitchen, the OHi designer not only sat down with the homeowners to map out where every kitchen item would be housed, but she was sure to include an abundance of accessible storage in the kitchen.

One way this was achieved was through designing at 14 1/2 ft. island. Not only did this allow for lots of seating and plenty of prep space, but it also increased lower cabinet storage, which is easily accessible by all. 

One big concern was finding a place for the homeowner's Ninja blender. It didn't fit in the original cabinets. Luckily, once the wall was removed between the kitchen and living room, a wrap around bar was added, including a perfect spot to store their blender, along with a wine cooler to keep an assortment of wines. This space was perfect for these outgoing homeowners who entertain frequently.
