BEFORE
The plan here was to remove the wet bar (under the big key on wall) and walk-in food pantry (behind the buffet). With these two sections gone there would be room for a smaller, yet more efficient, food pantry – as well a new breakfast area.
AFTER
With the wet bar and old food pantry removed we had space to add one of my favorite kitchen items — the banquette.
In the rest of the kitchen we replaced the cabinet doors to give it a more modern look, but still kept with the overall traditional style of the home. With the atrium gone, we were able to make use of the space by creating storage for large appliances, as well as a small work station. The light fixture over the breakfast table is from Terrain.

AFTER
The cabinetry in the island was also rebuilt to better suit the homeowners. Instead of a place for a wine fridge we added large drawers for linens and kid items.
