A Vacation Home’s Full Kitchen Rehabilitation and More. When the owners purchased this 5-acre property, they inherited a twobedroom, one-bath structure that had been ignored for many years. Their plan was to improve it in anticipation of eventually using it for themselves, friends, and family – and as a source of income via short-term rentals.
The Cultured Palate figured out a way to create an additional bathroom ensuring each bedroom had its own ensuite. The original layout of the kitchen was very small with an underutilized and unneeded pantry.
This space became the primary bathroom while still allowing plenty of space to expand the kitchen. We enlarged the opening to the original kitchen and added a large kitchen island in what was once the dining area. We removed a dividing wall which created a great room fully open to the kitchen island area.
Included in this remodel:
• Gutted the dilapidated kitchen, opening the walls to widen the kitchen area
• Placed a kitchen island just outside the former kitchen for additional prep space
• Removed a dividing wall to join the kitchen island area with living area creating a great room
• Replaced all the flooring throughout to lighten and brighten the home • Added new appliances, cabinets, lighting and seating at the island
• Replaced the entry door with
Milgard sliding doors, as well as great room windows
• Rebuilt the deck, designed a covering and added a fan to keep things cool and shaded Kitchen Renovation with Walls Removed
