Makeover magic in Oakwood

Charming kitchen remodel embraces family

A wall separating the kitchen and dining room was removed to create the large open floor plan, which now offers seating for 10.
A wall separating the kitchen and dining room was removed to create the large open floor plan, which now offers seating for 10.

When Randy and Amy Honaker decided to remodel the kitchen in their Oakwood home they had one thing on their mind—family. The 1950s house featured a cramped kitchen that was segregated from the main dining room. And with a family of six, they needed an open space that would allow everyone to comfortably converge in the same room.

The remodeled kitchen now includes a cozy window seat tucked next to a vertical cabinet door hiding the coffee bar.

The Honakers enlisted the help of kitchen designer Gary Peters with Peters Cabinetry LLC and contractor Larry Bower at Daystar Enterprise, Inc. to help bring their vision to life. The first step was to remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room and relocate the garage entry door to allow for more cabinet space. An old pantry and coat closet were also eliminated to make way for a large island and round dining table, as well as the addition of a fullview door to the back yard.

The kitchen offers plenty of counter space thanks to the perimeter countertops along the induction range and sink area, as well as the large center island.

The clean white cabinetry, countertops and subway tile backsplash establish the neutral backdrop. A mixture of antique brass and modern light fixtures brings a touch of sparkle and glamour to the space. Modern amenities such as the induction cooktop, double ovens and the coffee bar tucked behind a cabinet next to the window seat complete the kitchen, creating the perfect space for this busy family to cook and gather together.
