Ikea Kitchen Renovation Part 2

Elizabeth Boland · May 8, 2013 ·


Another client, another Ikea kitchen renovation. This particular project was a little different from the last one in that we completely reworked the whole layout of space. The old kitchen had a dining area (not the main formal dining room) off of it with horrible built in corner cabinets. It left that large chunk of the room unusable and forced the range and the refrigerator to be jammed right up against the back door, which just so happens to be the family’s main entrance. By removing the corner cabinets, weird decorative columns, and island we were able to completely open up the kitchen. In the small space by the back door we added a coat closet/ family mud room behind two closet doors, and a little dry bar so the kids can come running in from the back yard to grab a juice box out of the new beverage center without getting in Mom’s way when she is making dinner. It’s amazing what a new layout will do, the kitchen feels like it’s twice the size as it was before the renovation.

    Both kitchens are fabulous! Would never know they were IKEA once you put your touch on everything. You're good!
