“This home screamed for a kitchen remodel—the family really needed a two-person functional kitchen. Taking out the soffits left 9-foot ceilings, allowing the cabinets to reach the ceiling for additional storage. By stacking the wall cabinets we were able to reach the ceiling without having to use custom cabinets. They replicated the line of the windows placed on the interior walls. However, instead of actual windows we framed single plates of glass, achieving the look while cutting costs considerably. 

"Placement of appliances was a large factor in making the two-person kitchen. Placing the refrigerator in the middle of the kitchen created access from anywhere in the room. Sinks on each side of the refrigerator make it multi-cook-friendly, with a baker’s center, cooking area, and room for any helpers.”
