Blueprint for Improvement:  A dream kitchen at Geist

THE CHALLENGE:

This home in the Windemere Pointe neighborhood was built in 1988. The 32-year-old kitchen was due for some updates!

THE SOLUTION:

• The rounded end of the island – while popular in the ‘80s – was replaced with an island that offers more storage, workspace and seating.
• The existing tiled floor was in good condition; the new components and finishes were chosen to complement the flooring, which helped keep costs down.
• The window over the sink was enlarged; the trim color remained the same to blend with the other windows in the space.
• The kitchen gained significant storage space in the form of a wall of cabinetry with pull-out shelves.
