A new fresh flavor exploded throughout the house when this Long Grove family, tired of the look and feel of the original construction, decided to do a complete overhaul with a new addition, allowing them to expand and rethink all of their previous attitudes about what a kitchen should be. After completion of the addition and other remodeling work by Leader Builders, the kitchen became a place for family to meet and talk, children to play, and food to be shared and savored. It also became a multi-purpose area: a place from which to watch the kids while they play in the swimming pool, a place to enjoy the sun, read a book, or even watch TV.
