This kitchen makeover was years overdue. The cabinets were maxed out, there was not adequate counter space and the lighting was insufficient. My design challenge was to maximize the floor space and add more linear counter space. Storage had to be improved and made easier to access.
Rich Maid Kabinetry, one of three cabinet lines offered by American Home Gallery, was the choice for this project. Every cabinet is made to my exact specifications to ensure that every square inch is maximized.
White subway tile, black granite counters and white cabinets maintain a classic style that compliments the entire antique home.

| The table was a clutter magnet which did not maximize the space. |
 |
| The traffic flow through the kitchen to the foyer and dining room was made easy. |
