SOL UTIONS
Striking Harmony
WHEN A YOUNG couple bought their fi rst home
in a Pensacola, Fla., community, they knew its
DIY-gone-bad style and functionality off ered
considerable room for improvement. Of note was
the kitchen, which was part of a long great room,
although it was tucked into a corner.
Th e line of the kitchen's back wall was broken up
by an entryway to a hallway with laundry, a bathroom
and garage access, while a doorway into the
dining room chopped up a perpendicular wall. An
overlarge island and peninsula extended far beyond
the cabinetry into the living space and was topped
by a massive vent hood reminiscent of a spaceship.
" It had one of the worst layouts I had ever
seen, " said Cheryl Kees Clendenon, DGD of
Pensacola-based In Detail Interiors, the team
called on to renovate the 1969 colonial home.
" There were many functional things that just
didn't work. "

Bold layout changes let a kitchen
cater to homeowners' lifestyle
Th e homeowners wanted the house to be more
accommodating of the activities they enjoyed,
which included making a front music room easily
accessible from the kitchen/great room they
envisioned as an entertaining space. But to get
between the two spaces required going through
the dining room, an area the couple expected to
use infrequently.
Keeping these lifestyle choices in mind, Clendenon
tossed out traditional expectations to redefi
ne the layout. She focused on meeting the
specifi c needs of her clients rather than giving in
to what existed or preconceived ideas about how
rooms should connect. But that meant making
some tough decisions along the way.
CHALLENGE #1 - BACK DOORWAY RELOCATION
To truly rework the layout, Clendenon fi rst had
to rethink egress. By shifting the doorway to
ABOVE To break up the long,
narrow kitchen and great
room, Clendenon chose a
banquette island with dining
table seating. Fluting on the
lower banquette, Kendall
Charcoal paint and endcap
shelves add a furniture-like
quality. The curved quartz
countertop edges were more
expensive to fabricate but
create fl ow and movement
through the space. Both sides
serve as pathways around
the kitchen, enhancing the
function.
