Home & Garden '96
Walk-through kitchen
gets 90s-style update
A new look
To open up the tiny pantry kitchen in their large Victorian
home, the Backhauses created a window in the one wall
which provides a view into the dining area.
Cozy comfort
A snack counter, extending into the centre of the room, utilizes the limited space in the
Backhauses' kitchen to provide a place to sit and visit in the homey environment, without
disrupting the natural traffic flow pattern.
Continued from page 15
have been the best idea. Slightly
rough in texture with tiny indenta-
tions, it is an attractive style in its
originality, but she has some con-
cerns about dirt particles getting
caught in the holes.
Overall, the family is more than
pleased with the transformation to
this important room. "We have
gone from having a walk through
kitchen to a place for small family
talks and light meals. The boys can
visit with me while I'm tidying up,
and there are even places for com-
pany to sit, now."
For anyone considering a renova-
tion Susan suggests shopping
around. Though both the Backhaus
and Hoegy families eventually
went with local suppliers and con-
tractors, Susan notes that there is a
wide range of prices and designs. "I
definitely had a pre-conceived idea
of what I wanted, but there was
only one place that met my budget
and worked with me on the design.
If someone tells you it can't be
done, don't give up."
