I’d say the number one complaint I hear most often from homeowners about their homes is that their kitchens are too small.

And who can blame them?! No one wants to cook and wash dishes day in and day out in a space that feels like a closet.

It’s true! Long before we got our hands on it, this small-but-mighty kitchen led a much-remodeled life, first as an 18th century tavern and later as a private home.

When the current owners came to us, it was a dark and dated 1980s-style space. It did the job as far as cooking was concerned, but it wasn’t pleasant or efficient for the family to use.
