In this photo we show where the original "u" shape became a "L" shape layout. We accomplished this by removing the old ref wall altogether and used the old hallway to enlarge the laundry room. We relocated the laundry room door to an angle across from the French doors making it more discrete while providing a wall for more storage and a flat screen t.v. In the corner where the French door is, we added that space and the door to let more light into the kitchen.
