How We Transformed a Formal Dining Room into a Dream Kitchen

2025-05-08T13:58:08-04:00

How We Transformed a Formal Dining Room into a Dream Kitchen What started as a confined kitchen — limited to one section at the back of the house — and an underused formal dining room is now a bright, open, and intentionally designed space that connects seamlessly with the rest of the home — and with nature just outside the windows. Our clients were ready to rethink how their first floor worked. The existing kitchen was isolated from the main living spaces, and the formal dining room — though large — rarely saw any use. Meanwhile, their beautiful backyard, filled with birds and wildlife, was barely visible from the main living areas. The solution: open it all up. 📸 Before & After: Kitchen We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room, allowing us to create a new layout centered around a large working island. The

This Kitchen Layout Wasn’t Working — Here’s How We’re Fixing It

Goodbye Formal Dining Room, Hello Light-Filled Kitchen We're opening walls, rethinking flow, and designing with nature in mind. Rendering We’re excited to kick off a kitchen renovation that’s going to bring warmth, light, and purpose back into this home — and we’re sharing the plan before the first cabinet comes off the wall. Saying Goodbye to the Formal Dining Room One of the biggest changes in this remodel? We’ll be removing the wall between the existing kitchen and the formal dining room — an underutilized space the homeowners were more than happy to trade for a larger, more functional kitchen. We’ll also be expanding the opening between the former dining room and the front sitting room, allowing for a more natural flow from space to space. The goal is to create a comfortable layout that feels intentional, open, and better aligned with how this family uses their home.

We took a hard left from the original plan... We were hired to design and build a single story kitchen addition off the back of New England Colonial.

He quickly realized that an addition was probably unnecessary when there was existing space on the 1st floor not being utilized to it's potential. That sounds like a house pep talk but it's true. In design conversations with our clients, he agreed that yes, the current galley style kitchen was not working for their family of 5 and growing teenagers who like to have friends over and hang out in the kitchen (smart kids). He also recognized that the formal dining room (being used as a playroom and home gym) would make the ideal new home of the
