"That really opened up the kitchen to the rest of the space. There was a small pass-through below eye level that didn't make a ton of sense. We made it wider, raised the height, and added a much larger overhang that matches the depth of the new built-ins on either side and houses counter stools underneath."
"It helped carve out a defined space for dining that didn't significantly eat into the tight floor plan. Another inspired gesture was the creation of a built-in dining nook, with a banquette and open shelves, in a corner of the living room."
"To make the space as light and bright as possible, Montgomery chose a creamy paint palette throughout, using Glacier White for the walls and Simply White for the trim, both by Benjamin Moore. We brought in textural interest with different paneling profiles. Tongue and groove wall paneling, Shaker-style doors on some cabinets and fluted detailing on others add a bit of depth."
A small two-bedroom apartment in a nondescript 1980s building received architectural tweaks, updated bath and kitchen finishes, refinished floors, and extensive custom built-ins. An existing opening between the living room and narrow galley kitchen was enlarged and framed with storage, widening and raising the pass-through and adding a larger overhang to match adjacent built-ins and support counter stools. A built-in dining nook with a banquette and open shelves was added to define a dining area without consuming much floor space. A creamy paint palette used Glacier White walls and Simply White trim to brighten the interior, while tongue-and-groove paneling, Shaker-style cabinet doors, and fluted detailing added depth and texture.
