Back during the pandemic (bad time) I decided to pull off the back deck as it was standing by a thread it seemed. I wanted a sunroom with windows on 3 sides, glass doors, more cabinets, stairs going down to the basement plus a hallway to keep my everyday jackets I used while working in the gardens. I then decided I might as well do the kitchen too as the sunroom would be attached to that wall anyway. I had dark ebony cabinets back then with an island that was angled crazily too. I went with white cabinets but the same type of cabinets I had before as this house was built in 1900 so wanted to keep some of the same character. I also had an island put in but straight so I had more room around the sink that would be put in the corner. I had a little room off of the kitchen that had some extra cabinets sort of like a pantry so the wall was removed and a real pantry was put in it's place. When the walls were being torn out, we found there had been a door going outside in the pantry area so since the framing was still there, I had them add another window as it was so dark there. Now I have a bright and larger kitchen, pot lights, ceiling fans both in the sunroom and kitchen, a broom closet, more counter space. I love it though it took 5 more months than expected a sit was hard to find materials. I also had to have a split unit (heat/air) unit added as they had to remove some of the baseboard heat from the kitchen air. I don't have a special spot for my coffee pot as it's just me but having more storage cabinets was what I wanted and needed.
