Our homeowner has kids in sports and loves to entertain which means they frequently have large gatherings at their home, and the floorplan was just too closed off to allow this efficiently. By removing the divider walls, some of which were loadbearing, and installing support beams, we were able to open the floorplan to easily host a hockey or lacrosse team get together. Dark cabinetry, huge island, and all new appliances, really fill the bill to make this a very functional kitchen with ample space for guests.
