We recently purchased this home which was built in 1952. The bones and character of this house are amazing, but we knew from the get go that the existing galley kitche / dining room area would need a complete renovation. This involved removing a wall between the dining room and the galley kitchen and completely removing every aspect of the existing kitchen. We went with a cabinet company based in Ephrata PA which whose cabinetry is influenced greatly by the rich PA German ancestry of that area. The renovation was completed about a week ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Please see attached photos.
