Kitchens Less
Than $75,000
W
hen downsizing from a
4,200-sq.-ft. to 2,000-
sq.-ft. home, the clients
wanted to make the
smaller house feel more spacious, which
included remodeling the kitchen for two
cooks and providing ample storage.
Designing a work triangle and creating
new cabinet storage met both of those
goals. Track lighting below the sky-
lights provides task lighting while the
existing recessed cans provide general
illumination. Red cabinetry ofers the
desired "wow" factor, and the white
walls, countertop and foor covering
keep the space light and bright. It is
completed by wrapping the peninsula
countertop with a waterfall edge.
Nothing was square or plumb, which
was difcult to disguise because the
design did not call for moldings to cover
the faws. Every inch was well utilized
to create a symmetrical, clean-lined
design; there are no dead corners.
