4. Seamless Flow for an Open-Plan Main Level
Kitchen at a Glance
Who lives here: An empty-nest couple
Location: Bloomington, Minnesota
Size: 170 square feet (16 square meters)
Designers: Amy Jants, Alisa Dragt-Hoffman and Katie Slick of McDonald Remodeling
Before: When a design-loving empty-nest couple purchased this 1942 Bloomington, Minnesota, home, they were immediately drawn to its sweeping Minnesota River Valley views. The kitchen was a different story. A closed-off layout, a wall separating it from the living room, a short peninsula, worn cabinetry and a cramped footprint were at odds with the airy, entertaining hub the couple envisioned.
To create a more open main level, designers Amy Jants, Alisa Dragt-Hoffman and Katie Slick of McDonald Remodeling reimagined the entire space, reworking the kitchen and its relationship to the surrounding living areas.
