For a family with three active kids and frequent visitors, any kitchen might feel claustrophobic. In this case, the kitchen in the family’s 1970s Colonial was not only small but also suffered from poor planning. It didn’t integrate well with the dining and living room areas, and it wasn’t big enough for satisfactory entertaining. In fact, the kitchen offered so little space that the former dining room was used as a catch-all for items that wouldn’t fit there.

The homeowners wanted a spa-like retreat to replace the original 1980s bathroom consisting of a decked whirlpool tub, two small vanities, a tiny shower and minimal storage. Taking a small bump-out from the bedroom created a beautiful walk-in closet with plenty of storage and a nice entryway into the primary bathroom. The bathroom was completely gutted, and all fixtures were relocated to create a more functional space.
