small spaces | The kitchen had been built to include an eat-in area, but the space was a bit too small to comfortably accommodate a regular dining table set. The solution?

To make the space homier, we added the bookshelf above to house my cookbooks, art to the walls, and drapes over the windows." (Click to view the old space) >
