A tiny kitchen was transformed into a more spacious and functional modern cooking area by taking down the old nonfunctional chimney, moving the sink below the new windows, adding a black walnut counter top and shallow cabinets that wrap into the previous back porch. To maximize storage space, we designed drawers in the toe kicks under the cabinets. With new quarter sawn white oak trim and back door, the craftsman style of the house is maintained. The light maple cabinets complement the soapstone counter tops and tile floor.
