Tradition with a Twist in Needham

Rearranging doorways and taking down the wall between the kitchen, dining room and hallway make a huge difference in this Colonial home. The kitchen exponentially gained more useful cabinetry and counter space. In addition, bumping into the dining room, begat the new 'mudroom, which gave this happy family needed storage at the entry from the garage and driveway. The red walls add to the drama and contrasts with the white cabinets and trim. A prep space and seating were created at the new peninsula. The result is a more functional kitchen, better flow throughout the first floor, a more spacious feeling and great storage for a growing family of 5.
