Before and After: 4 Kitchens With Improved Storage and Style

After: Now the kitchen has a streamlined look with dedicated storage and a refreshing cream-and-blue palette. Gone is the awkward butler’s pantry, replaced by glass-front cabinets for glassware and dishes. To the left of the new paneled fridge, an area that used to be a walk-in pantry now has cabinets for small appliances, bakeware, dry goods and a microwave.

To the right of the stove, a countertop cabinet hides a pullout shelf with a coffee bar and toaster, as well as stationary shelves for mugs and more. To the right of the sink, a cabinet with hammered glass doors keeps more dishware at hand.

Ramsay also removed a dining table and chairs (where the previous photo was taken from) and relocated a desk on the sink-side wall. This allowed for a more spacious island with seating for three, plus French doors that bathe the space in light. Wood-look luxury vinyl flooring grounds the space in beauty and practicality
