Кухня

We’re looking to open up and modernize the upstairs kitchen area to make it feel more inviting. The entire upstairs currently has carpet, and we’d like to replace it with new flooring as part of the project.

You’ll see in the photos that there’s a wet bar in front of the kitchen. This is not a load-bearing wall, and we’d like to remove it entirely to open the space. The short wall next to the refrigerator is also not load-bearing and can be removed as well. We don’t believe there’s enough room for an island, but we’re open to your ideas if you think otherwise.

We want to keep the existing upstairs bathroom but remodel it.

I included photos and measurements from both an appraisal and a Home Depot visit. Please use the measurements from the Home Depot printout only — the layout on that page was their proposed design, which we’re not using. We’re hoping you can provide a better, fresh concept. We live near the beach, so we’re hoping for a relaxed, coastal feel — nothing too modern or cold.

Vision: Bright + warm + open
Kitchen use: primarily cooking more entertaining
frustrations : currently its not open, poor lighting , cabinet access, look
likes : functional layout , cabinet space
ideal kitchen : open , inviting, functional

Hi there! We’re looking to make our upstairs more open and inviting. Right now, the kitchen feels closed off, and we’d like to open it up as much as possible.

The wet bar directly in front of the kitchen is not load-bearing, and we’d like to remove it to create a more open space.

The short wall next to the fridge is also not load-bearing, and we’re open to removing it as well.

We’re currently thinking we might not have room for an island, but we’re totally open to your ideas if you see a better layout.

We’d also like to replace the carpet upstairs with new flooring.

The bathroom will stay in the same location, but we’d like to remodel it too.

I’ve included photos as well as measurements from a recent appraisal and from Home Depot. Please use the measurements on the Home Depot printout, but disregard the layout they drew — we’re hoping to get a fresh, improved design from you!

Let us know if you need anything else. Looking forward to your ideas

the kitchen is on the third floor and the sq ft is 630.
