This kitchen was dark and dated, so we took everything out and started over. It’s amazing how bright and BIG it became!The shaker white cabinets around the perimeter go to the ceiling with a double stacked cove crown. The gas cooktop moved down so it has more space on either side for more comfortable cooking and prep work area. By eliminating the large framed-in pantry, we gained walkway space by the island. Design a “talls” wall with the new cabinet pantry, relocated refrigerator and added a micro/oven combo.
