The old kitchen area was cramped as well as almost completely closed in, so Silvana opened the area as much as the back garden at one end with a quite new door as well as casement as well as transom windows. At the other end, just a breakfast bar divides the kitchen area from the dining room.

In lieu of a headboard, Silvana upholstered the wall with a hemp material hand-blocked in a small floral, the exact same material she utilized for the living space drapes.
