#10 Kitchen
The rear entry door was outdated. We replaced it with a 1/3 12 lite door. We popped the ceiling in the middle, but had to keep the soffit around the room b/c of lighting and venting. We removed all the angles and softened up the wall color. It makes everything feel larger and cleaner. It also allowed a larger opening from the entry to the kitchen.
We also added a pantry made to match the kitchen cabinets in this area, which is across from regular coat closets with large storage. This makes it easy to bring in large items from the garage and store them before entering the kitchen.
