After

Making the separating wall into a half wall created an open concept affect while still keeping the two rooms separated.
Adding some color to this space really made it much more warm and inviting.
Updating the cabinetry to a stained cherry wood with granite countertops and tile backsplash gives it a much more inviting feeling.
Adding pantry storage to the unused wall created a great place for additional storage of food items as well as extra plates cups etc.
Having the half wall lets kitchen messes be hidden and also provides a great area for two to sit.
Plenty of cabinet storage for pots, pans, mixing bowls, tupperware, serving dishes, small appliances and anything else that the owner could need.
In summary –This Charlestown MA kitchen went from a one note, small kitchen to a warm, airy, transitional kitchen.
