We knocked down a wall separating a den and the kitchen to make a bigger eat-in kitchen. It's still not huge but it's very functional and just perfect for us. We also added lots more lighting - recessed, under cabinet, and pendants. We had a gas line run into the kitchen for the stove. We moved the sink and removed an extra sink that we weren't using. We removed two windows (gasp!) to make way for a patio door so we could actually access the backyard (and the grill) more easily. We added a breakfast bar. Future plans include the building of a banquette in the far corner of the breakfast area.

Details:
  • Cabinets: existing
  • Countertops - granite tile in Tan Brown (edges were prefinished with a full bullnose). Contractor took tiles around sink to a fabricator to make an exact fit for a more custom look (thanks to Bill for the idea). Countertop was made 8 inches bigger on side coming into family room and about 12 inches at the end with the bookshelf added underneath. HUGE difference in space.
  • Backsplash 6x6 travertine in Durango. Accents are a Crossville Tile patina series in Rust nickel. They are actually a liner that I had the contractor cut into four pieces.
  • Sink (Blanco 1 3/4 in Anthracite Silgranit)
  • faucet (Kohler Fairfax brushed nickel)
  • soap dispenser (Kohler brushed nickel)
  • air gap (blanco SS)
  • Refrigerator (Kenmore Elite Trio in SS)
  • Convection/Microhood (Kenmore Elite in SS)
  • Garbage disposal (Kenmore)
  • stove: existing
  • DW: existing
  • Floor: existing
  • Remove light box in the ceiling, replaced with four cans and two mini pendants. Replaced ceiling fan in eating nook with a flush mount. Flush mount and mini pendants are Murray Feiss Vista collection.
  • Added undercabinet lights
  • Added crown molding and bottom molding to existing cabinets. Added bookshelf. Made a change to two lower cabinets to cut out crossbar to give better access.

My little renovation is so not worthy in the company of your tens of thousands of dollar makeovers, but it has made maybe there are others like me who are doing something minor!

We added a new sliding door in the kitchen where a large picture window used to be. We also removed the soffits in the kitchen and mudroom and extended the cabinets to the ceiling. We also added recessed lighting in all rooms. I purchased almost everything on line so let me know if you have any questions.
