The kitchen pantry and breakfast nook area makes the kitchen feel huge. In an otherwise small house, the kitchen provided the room I needed to make this space my own.

With the dining room right on the other side of the wall, there was no need to add another table. Instead, I added a pot rack, mounted a small TV (to watch cooking shows while I learn to make my own recipes), and installed a bar made of the same butcher block countertop material in the rest of the kitchen.
