Kitchen Cousins John Colaneri and Anthony Carrino transformed a tiny kitchenette-style space into this impressive and versatile new kitchen with an open feel and free-flowing access to surrounding rooms.

Walls were removed to remedy a confining, maze-like arrangement, and the floor plan for the kitchen as well as surrounding spaces was substantially reconfigured.

The new design called for an informal butcher-block breakfast bar that delineates the new kitchen and the small adjacent dining room. 

The exposed-brick partition dividing the kitchen and living room is actually an ordinary wall that was cut down and wrapped in brick veneer.
