The project

The house

A 1910 house near Green Lake where everyone came in through the kitchen.

The plan

Turn the back porch into a mudroom and rework the kitchen around a bigger island.

The build

We enclosed and insulated the porch, then rebuilt the kitchen with new cabinets and lighting.

The result

Shoes and bags stop at the mudroom, and the kitchen stays a kitchen.

The schedule they gave us on day one was the schedule they kept.
