After: Kikos got rid of some walls to expand the kitchen into the living room and create an open concept. That went a long way toward reducing the confining feel, adding light and making room for an 8-foot island. Kikos also walled over that pass-through to the dining room seen in the previous photo and moved the range there. So now, even though the fridge hasn’t moved, the cook has a convenient work triangle.
Other design moves to open up and brighten the space included nixing some upper cabinets, using glossy white backsplash tiles that reflect light and having a lot more white wall space plus a white island counter. The remaining cabinets, the tall pantry cabinets to the left of the fridge and the niche shelving at the alcove ends provide all the storage needed.
