While some people feel too many cooks spoil the soup, this empty nest couple in Evanston, Illinois dreamed of having a kitchen to prepare exotic meals together without bumping into each other on every chop, stir or flambé. Their original kitchen felt closed in, and a large eat-in area, no longer necessary with the kids out of the house, interrupted the flow.
The couple now ate most meals in the full dining room adjacent to the kitchen, so we eliminated the four-top table in the kitchen and mounted a cut out bistro tabletop onto a corner, creating an intimate space for the two of them to enjoy drinks or snacks while cooking together.
Removing the kitchen table allowed the L-shaped cabinet arrangement to become a U-shape, which maximized counter space. The new framless cabinets in a environmentally friendly Euro-foil finish, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances completely changed the feel of the kitchen.
In seven short weeks (three weeks design time, four weeks construction) and for around $27,000 total (including labor, materials and design time) this happy couple was whipping up intricate Asian and Cajun recipes in their dream custom kitchen with an entry level price tag.
BONUS AREAS: breakfast seating for two, pantry, & herb garden!
