SAM’S DINER

Finch, Ontario
Project Type: Renovation
Design, Supply & Install by Sheridan Interiors Inc.

This client wanted to update her late 1970’s kitchen.  The existing cabinetry was in good shape, however the layout and work flow was a bit disconnected.
There was a large patio door directly in the middle of one wall which disrupted the counter space and limited storage.  The kitchen sink was at the end of the one long wall and made it difficult to stack and wash dishes.  The dining room adjacent to the kitchen did not have any storage and no access to their beautiful deck and yard.  The main lighting fixture in the kitchen was an overhead fluorescent – ubiquitous in the ’70’s.  The kitchen’s wood floors were in great condition and did not require any updating.  They have a beautiful country property and were not taking advantage of the beautiful views and their expansive deck.
