California Ranch Redo

The once-dark kitchen is now open and bright after the removal of a wall and infusion of new materials. The light maple cabinets and granite countertops are combined with stainless steel appliances. The cabinets look custom but aren't — they were purchased already constructed and prefinished. Undercounter lighting highlights the granite to create a warm glow. The dining area is outfitted with a classy, dark-stained table and chair set.
