Stylish and practical was the theme throughout this Wilmette project, which involved building the addition of a new family room and expanding the existing kitchen. The new, gorgeous designer kitchen was achieved by better utilization of the old kitchen area and borrowing just a couple of feet from the new family room addition. Stylistically, the new addition was modeled after a smaller screened-in porch that already existed in the other part of the house. Cathedral ceilings in the new one-and-a-half story addition contrast beautifully with the lower ceilings in the kitchen area, situated neatly under the second floor above.
