McGuire Kitchen
This 1920's home had lots of charm but lacked the space and convenience of a modern kitchen. Where are the countertops? The current dining room was large compared to the kitchen and underutilized. The existing laundry/pantry was tucked in a corner with two doorways (waste of space) and the tiny half bathroom was almost useless. After touring the home and speaking with the homeowners we came up with the following design. We opened the kitchen to the dining room and subsequently to the rest of the house. This allowed the feeling of more space and lots of natural light. We also closed off the laundry area to the dining and kitchen and incorporated it into a new full bathroom with laundry facility (see McGuire in Bathroom Portfolio). The homeowners are delighted with the new layout and even sent out Christmas cards to their friends and family with their children's picture and a note saying "Happy Holidays from our new Kitchen!"
