With a loft/condo of a little over 600 square feet, adding a chef kitchen may not be the best use of space. Sadly, I understand, but for an enthusiastic home cook this is an obvious dilemma. The first glance at the floor plan of my new home was disgruntling. The space niched-out for my grand dream kitchen was only 10 feet wide and barely stove deep. Of course, the builder had designed the kitchen with a single-bowl-inset sink to give the illusion of more counter space, but I was resolved to find a solution for more.
