This late 80 ’ s home belongs to Designer Jo Alcorn ' s parents ! This space was originally broken up into three areas closed off by walls . The homeowners wanted an open concept for better use of space when entertaining their large family . It had always been a dream for the homeowners to have a spacious kitchen . With the addition of an oversized island , they were able to create a space where the entire family can gather , sit and chat while cooking .
During the renovation , they were able to splurge on a few items while saving on others . They chose a high quality laminate which saved on the flooring budget while they splurged on all the millwork including the cabinetry , shelving units , and all the extra details that helped transform this space into a gourmet kitchen . Designer Jo Alcorn says her favorite design elements are the large island with extra counter space and storage , as well as the coffee bar area . The coffee bar located in the dining room creates a natural transition between the kitchen and dining area and helps spread out guests between the different spaces when entertaining . The homeowners can now happily host large gatherings while they cook in their brand new kitchen .
