1_ Removed the wall separating the kitchen and breakfast room. 2_ Added an island measuring 3 by 8 feet for extra prep space. 3_ Moved the sink to the rear wall, under a new energy-saving casement window with views of the backyard. 4_ Reoriented the basement door to create a seamless wall next to the fridge cabinet. 5_ Exposed rafters in the existing kitchen space, adding 2-inch-thick rigid-foam insulation and drywall between them. 6_ Relocated the range to a side wall and added a hood with a stovepipe narrow enough to fit between rafters.
