Kitchen 3a
I removed the original outside wall that stood
where the pendant lights now hang as part of an
add-on to allow for the eating bar, a 15-ft wide
breakfast room, and an indoor connection to a
previously enclosed garage. The cabinets in the
remodeled kitchen were from Ikea, and since the
owners were okay with them, they served as my
model for my cabinets. Floor to ceiling storage at
the left and under the microwave and cookbooks
features the same look. Doors and pulls as the
originals. I bought the butcher block top and pulls
at Ikea for an exact match. The hood and backsplash
tie the range area in to the overall look. |

Kitchen 3b
The glass doors to the storage cabinet and to the
storage closet have a rice paper appliqué to
obscure the view of the contents. The butcher
block counter top, tile backsplash, and Ikea pulls
continue the kitchen theme. |

Kitchen 3c
The full-view French doors lead to the enclosed
garage. Before the add-on was done, a trip to this
room meant going outside and then back in. The
flooring that runs throughout is a floating cork floor. |
 |
Kitchen 3d
A bank of five windows and the full-view French
doors with sidelights give a great view of the
backyard, decks, and raised pergola. (See "Outdoor
Construction".) The built-in banquette allows for
extra seating and storage below. What a great spot
for a relaxed breakfast, or any other meal. |
