Before: Layout, storage and outdated look were the biggest complaints of our client.  The builder had put the refrigerator on the far wall, which was too far of a  distance from the food preparation area, and blocked the entrance to the kitchen when the refrigerator door was open.	Before: Poor lay out, dated cabinetry, not enough storage
After: The first step was layout.  For this truly efficient kitchen now everything is in reach.  A new stainless steel refrigerator was built into an area previously unused.  Now, all appliances and the sink are all just a couple steps from one another.  The location of the old refrigerator became wonderful efficient storage area and added countertop space.	After: Updated look and efficient layout. After: Efficient added storage
Before: Small and boring the stove area was functional, but not apealing	Before: This was a functional cooktop in a place our clients liked, however the look, the outdated tiles, and the counter space was less than what our clients wanted.
After: Updated, wider and beautiful After: GE Gas Stove with pop up vent with custom hidden switches	After:  Lengthening the countertop and topping it with beautiful granite provides beautiful additional space.   Because of the increased space gained by moving the refrigerator, our client now had extra cabinet space which they chose to use to display some beautiful glassware. Some of the newer appliances offer wonderful options, like pop up vents allowing for that fifth burner to be added at no space cost. In addition, these rear venting cooktops allow for much more storage under the stove area.
Before:  With no overhang, this half wall had only one purpose: hide the stove area.	Before: No seating here.
Result: A simple and inexpensive solution of adding an overhang and increasing the length of the countertop now allows three friends or family members to be a part of the activity in the kitchen.	After: Seating for 3!
