A Mid-Century Kitchen Addition: More Light, Storage & Functionality

A tiny kitchen in this mid-century ranch house, with a door to the hallway, basement stairs, dining room and outside provided plenty of challenges and opportunities.

We built a light-filled addition on the rear, opening up the dining room to the new kitchen space. The old kitchen was converted to a walk-in pantry and laundry room, creating additional storage and functionality.

In the new kitchen, the island is topped with reclaimed barn wood and has ample room for seating.

Light streams in from the Marvin sliding doors which lead out to a new, large deck for outdoor entertaining, and most importantly – grilling!
