Kitchen at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple with grown children and two dogs
Location: Delafield, Wisconsin
Size: 320 square feet (30 square meters); 20 by 16 feet
Designer: Morgan Taugher (lead) of Refined Renovations
Before: This aging Delafield, Wisconsin, kitchen had dark cabinetry and countertops that gave it a heavy, shadowy look. An off-center stainless steel range, backsplash and hood dominated a back wall. The refrigerator stood on a wall to the right of the range, out of view, across from the sink and separated from it by the island, creating an inefficient workflow. The only pantry was located down the hall, accessed through a mudroom.
The homeowners, a couple with grown children and two dogs, wanted a kitchen with improved storage, a more efficient layout and a fresh look with an antique English sensibility. For help, they hired design-build firm Refined Renovations.
