St Paul Kitchen and Bath
The view from the backyard before the remodeling took place. The stoop on the left led to the kitchen, the adjacent window was located in a half-bath and the next window in a pantry. The main motivators behind this project were the need for a new kitchen, improved traffic flow within the house and to the yard and more natural light.
