We worked within the existing footprint of this kitchen to create more room by extending the island into the former nook and incorporating seating at the island end. We relocated the refrigerator and shifted the sink out of the corner, adding a window along the back wall to bring in more light and to enjoy backyard views. We repurposed space under the stairs from a pantry to a wine cellar, creating a new pantry area where a seldom-used kitchen desk space used to be.
