With this configuration, we’re really taking over the whole kitchen, vs. As you can see we’ve opened up the layout quite significantly, encouraging a whole lot more flow throughout the space. Not only has this helped us keep the budget in check as we’ve had no need for any structural changes, but it’s also helped us speed the construction process along, which is always an added bonus (especially when you have a baby-shaped deadline on the horizon).Īs far as the new layout is concerned, while form is always important in my world (duh!), function definitely reigned queen here. The locations of all perimeter walls (safe for a small nib wall near the main entrance), doors, windows (minus the awkward semi-circle window above the existing fireplace), pantry/closet and fireplace are all remaining in tact.
