About a year ago, friends who live in New York asked if I could offer some advice on a kitchen renovation they were planning. The existing space was an oddly shaped galley that notched around the master bath at one end.
 |
| The original kitchen was oddly configured and cut off from the rest of the house. |
My friends also planned to renovate the master bath at the same time, and hoped to enlarge it into the "notch" of the kitchen.
 |
| The existing master bath was cramped. |
Fortunately, the answer to the space planning dilemma was fairly obvious: a hallway that led to the master suite could be absorbed into the kitchen, and a new entrance to the master bedroom could be created off of the great room.

 |
| The "after" floor plan. The kitchen absorbed the hall, and the master bath grew into the old "notch" at the end of the original galley kitchen. The result is a much more function and space for two of the most used rooms in the house. |

| The kitchen after the renovation. Bright white cabinetry, carried up to the ceiling and capped with a beautiful, tall crown moulding make this a dramatic transformation. |
