Expanding kitchen into dining room

Welcome to our Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel Part Two! I'm sharing how we opened up the wall to our dining room to create a brighter kitchen by adding a Pass Through to a load bearing wall.

“Nice bones.” That’s how Alison Caporimo and her wife Beth Dreher described their New Jersey house the first time they walked through it.“We had been looking for a home for about a year in a very popular market,” Alison writes. “We didn’t want to pay a premium for a flip that didn’t feel like us or spend a ton of money undoing a bunch of really bad ’90s renovations.

When Jessie of Cape 27 Blog and her family got their new home, they got right to work on renovations. Just two months after moving in they were making big updates, including opening up this kitchen that was closed off from the rest of the house. Take a look at what they did. They started by tearing down the wall that separated the kitchen from the rest of the living space. They also removed a bar-height counter that created another barrier to the kitchen.

Adding overhang space to a kitchen counter is an easy way to make bar space. The overhang can be a rectangular extension or a semi-circle shape. You can use a typical counterspace along one wall of the kitchen or an island to make the conversion.

Happy Monday friends! I'm soooooo excited for this post today because I get to share an update on our kitchen remodel. You guys, the pass-through is DONE. Eeeeek!! Cue all the jazz hands. If you read this post you saw how many obstacles we were running into when we initially started this project about a month ago.

Sebring Design Build's Modernly White Kitchen Remodel takes a conventional space and transforms it into a minimalist dream.

Two months ago I put up a post To Bar or Not To Bar trying to determine if we should knock out a wall between our kitchen and dining room. Most of you confirmed

Here's what the "undining" room is as well as how you can make it work for your home while living in an open concept.

The best part about any remodelling project is having the freedom to customize your home to suit your needs and lifestyle. Here in the Okanagan, that means we often see wine fridges on the wish list in our clients' kitchens! We were happy to be able to work one into the plans for this kitchen renovation. The full-sized fridge will be moved across the room, which also allows us to partially open the wall to the dining room.
