Houzz Room of the Day: Happy Retro Style for a Family Kitchen
The 10 Most Popular New Kitchen Photos of 2017
The #1 most saved image on Houzz in 2017 was the docking drawer/ hidden charging station in this kitchen.

KITCHEN PROBLEMS: Not enough counter or storage space, refrigerator blocked basement door, range hood didn’t exhaust outside, sink too small, style not at all their aesthetic.
KITCHEN SOLUTIONS: The laundry machines were relocated to the basement, back corner of house was squared off adding 24 SF, back door to deck was relocated to opposite end of wall, and appliances were relocated for better access and counter space. The couple is now happily cooking on a 36” 5-burner range with a powerful exhaust hood surrounded by plenty of counter space. The back window overlooking the deck and garden was widened for more light and view from the kitchen sink.
