The Kitchen and Dining area was combined into a Country Style Kitchen, which later could get a Cook island and a new dining room.
Finished in 2014, this kitchen you see here had a very awkward cook island with bad circulation. A bigger Cook island was created, by pushing out towards to backyard and re-arranging the work triangle.
This kitchen was a real team work between the designer and the client. The clients built all the cabinets themselves plus made their own backsplash and were their own contractors too.
This before photo and the next photo to the right shows the changed made from an u-shape to a better workable area with a big Cook island, and the refrigerator was moved closer to the prep area.
I am using this kitchen to explain the construction process from start to finish.
