The old kitchen was not in a terrible state, it was just not functional for us. The double ovens wouldn't close and we'd been reduced to duct taping them closed. The cooktop didn't cook anything evenly and the tile was coming up. There was also a ton of wasted space, which just irritated me when I couldn't find a place to store anything.
I knew I wanted a traditional range because I have short arms and always worried about burning myself when getting things out of the wall ovens, so I knew that a layout change was in order. We also had a very dark space with almost no natural light. We opened up the room to the dining room and put in light colored cabinets with lots of great lighting. The room definitely doesn't feel dark anymore. YAY!
Here's what we were working with before:
And here's what we have now...
Love the dog food storage. It makes feeding time a whole lot easier.
And my spice/knife drawer - thanks to Breezy for the idea!
It seems like just about every decision in our space has been touched in some way by you guys. Thanks for helping us create our dream kitchen!

11 years agolast modified: 9 years agojane - actually, I didn't bring the kitchen into the dining room. My original floorplan had basically two spaces for a breakfast nook, which left a ton of open space. I brought the kitchen down to where our eat in table was and then used the previous empty space for our window seat and table.
(The last family used that space for an oversized couch and TV. It was just weird! :)
Honestly, we almost never used our dining room for eating. We do use it for board games and puzzles, but not much for eating. Now that the kitchen has direct access, we might use it more, but probably only for holidays and gatherings.
Here's an angle that might help...
You can see the dining room table peeking out on the right hand side, hopefully. (with a board game sitting on it, of course. HA!) And all that wonderful natural light too - YAY!
Do you think you could live without a formal space? We aren't a formal family, so I don't think it would bother me one bit.
HTH!! Good luck!
