In our home as in many others, the kitchen is the "hub" of activity. Corey and I love to cook and the walls of the kitchen were pretty confining and there was little room for seating. Dinner parties meant a few people in the living room, and others in the kitchen. We have always said that the one thing we would love in a house would be an open concept kitchen / living area. A few weeks ago, we realized that this was actually a real possibility in our current place. The wall between our kitchen and living room was not load-bearing, and a row of upper cabinets could be moved to another area without any loss of storage space. Bye bye ugly blue countertop!
In just a few weeks, the transformation is almost complete! We also added a bar for extra seating. I can now see the lake while cooking breakfast and talk to Lily while she plays in her room! Here are some "Before and After" photos.
There is room to seat 5 or 6 at the bar. Woohoo! Party time! Excellent.
