Bigger isn’t always better, as this remodel demonstrated. This kitchen renovation required staying within the original footprint of a traditional smaller kitchen. Matching appliances to fit the tighter spaces was one of the challenges we handily met. We moved the standard-size refrigerator, which had overwhelmed the small-scale kitchen, to the adjacent back porch and installed a cabinet-height refrigerator and freezer drawer unit for daily convenience. We also outfitted the diminutive kitchen with an undersized apron sink and 18-inch wide dishwasher. A new linoleum floor, new lower cabinets and upper cabinet doors refreshed the kitchen’s appearance and function.
