MRS. AG'S KITCHEN DESIGN PICTURES

KITCHEN DESIGNS

.  .  .  .  .  .  .

INTRODUCTION

All we have by way of kitchen design picture in our work with kitchen in this house are two:

  1. a kitchen design picture before we applied our kitchen designs magic

  2. a kitchen design picture after we applied our kitchen designs magic.

We never got around to taking more than these two photographs.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .

What we had to work with.

The kitchen design pictures of a ranch house.  To say that this kitchen was from someone's kit-bag of kitchen designs would have been absurd.  The kitchen was a dump.  Dark.  Dated.   Poorly decorated.  Small to the point of confining. Unwelcoming.  Downright nasty.  (Whatever you do, don't write to tell us that this can't be the before  to the after of these two kitchen design pictures.  It's so.   Mrs. AG was driving this project from start to finish.)

Take a look for yourself, but don't too close.
