This kitchen remodel reimagined a cramped, segmented space by merging a small kitchen with an adjacent sitting room to create a much larger and more functional layout. A dividing wall was removed, an exterior door was replaced with additional countertop space, and a new window was added to bring in more natural light. Custom pantry cabinetry and a reconfigured refrigerator location helped expand storage and improve flow. A central island became the new heart of the kitchen, enhancing both usability and openness. The final result is a significantly larger, more cohesive space that feels tailored to the home’s mid-century roots while incorporating modern upgrades.
