kitchen remodel: finding space
Laundry facilities were moved upstairs, opening up space at one end of the kitchen for a sunny breakfast nook. An antique oval table and white-painted chairs pull up to a built-in window seat topped with pillows. Classic wood trim and crown moldings frame the breakfast nook and are suitable for the Plucks’ 1930s shingle-style house.
Another smart storage idea: The window seat holds seasonal cooking supplies.
