Evanston Kitchen

Layout is EVERYTHING. The previous owner tried to fit cabinets in wherever they could adding an angled peninsula that cut into the center of the kitchen. By squaring up the layout and adding cabinets with smatter storage solutions like pullout drawers and trays, even with less cabinets this kitchen stores more and is easier to cook in. Proving the age old saying that sometimes less is more!

In order to make the best use of this space, we opened up the walkway between the dining room and kitchen. We then closed off the side door, changed the placement of the refrigerator, and removed the oddly angled island. We then installed floor to ceiling frameless cabinets to use the full capacity of the space 💫 like we said before, layout is everything!
