Kitchen remodeling for Wayne bungalows off Michigan Avenue

Built-Ins & Entertainment CentersBanquettes, china cabinets and window seats fit the bungalow character and use awkward space well. In a Wayne nook framed by original window casing, a built-in bench keeps the room's 1920s or 1930s proportions intact.Kitchen CabinetsCabinetry planned around doorways and a nook makes the most of short wall runs. Between the back door, basement stair and dining doorway, a Wayne bungalow kitchen may have only two walls long enough for a full run.Kitchen DesignDrawings compare keeping the nook, converting it to storage, or opening it up. Seeing all three side by side, with storage counted and seating shown, usually settles a debate households have had for years.Aging-in-Place RemodelingSingle-floor living in a bungalow can be made easier with lighting, drawers and clear paths. Where the bathroom and bedrooms share the main floor, a better kitchen is often what lets an owner stay put.Kitchen RemodelingMany Wayne bungalow kitchens are full remodels once wiring and plaster are opened. The city's sale inspection already expects a dedicated kitchen appliance circuit, so new wiring is planned in from the first drawing.Custom Kitchen CabinetsMatching a dining-room hutch or original door casing often calls for inset or beaded doors in a size no stock line offers. Custom cabinetry can follow the old trim profiles and the uneven wall heights of an older house.Open-Concept Kitchen RemodelSome Wayne owners would rather trade the nook and dining wall for one larger room. Opening a bungalow means checking what the wall carries and keeping enough of the original character to suit the house.

Bungalow nooks and built-ins in older Wayne homes

The nook is the bungalow kitchen's most charming corner and its biggest planning question. It can stay as a built-in banquette, become a pantry wall, or open into the kitchen to make room for a peninsula. Original built-ins, like a china cabinet in the dining room, are worth keeping or echoing.

Wayne bungalows also bring older plaster, small windows and several doorways that limit cabinet runs. Nick looks at which doors can close, where the refrigerator can sit, and how the nook works with the rest of the room before drawing anything.
