This 1980 ranch style home’s owner had dreamed of opening the walls that enclosed her kitchen for many years. In fact, it was six years after first contacting us that the renovation trigger was finally pulled. Revive Remodeling designed an expansive kitchen that marries with the living spaces cohesively. The new hickory cabinets give a cozy, homey vibe, and add a classic look with its variances of color. Relocating the range to the exterior wall allowed for the generous peninsula space that has multiple uses for cooking preparation, storage, and entertaining.

Stuck in a home with too many walls? You can get that open floor plan you’ve always wanted.
Open living — one room for all reasons — is the trend that keeps on trending. So if you’re still living with niche rooms — a kitchen for cooking, dining room for eating, and living room for formal entertaining — it’s time to open your mind and home to a new floor plan that adds flow and light.
Removing a Wall to Get the Open Floor Design of Your Dreams
1. Show it Off: Kitchens used to be tucked away in the back of the house, but today’s kitchens are stunning and deserve to be shown off.
Connecting your kitchen to the rest of the house can make your home look more impressive and modern.
2. Entertaining:If you love to entertain, but hate being stuck in the kitchen, an open-concept kitchen allows you to spend time with your guests while preparing the meal. It also allows you to fit everybody in your home without feeling cramped.
3. Make Your Home Feel Bigger: If your home is small, removing a wall is a great way to make it look and feel bigger. In San Diego, with all the gorgeous weather, an open floor plan shouldn’t forget the patio. Removing walls and installing French doors to the patio allows you to pull in outside space to make your home feel bigger. It also makes it easier to entertain guests or grill outside.
