I am back home for awhile and I had a bit of play time. In the top left corner of the box is the kitchen counter as it was.
After a bit of a makeover, this is how it looks now. It isn't perfect but I am very pleased with the result. I have to figure out how to make a very small fridge now because the kitchen area is quite tiny. I will do open shelves rather than upper cabinets.
The Brookwood is a kit I have admired for a long time. I hope I can rehab this one into a beautiful lake house. Stay tuned for updates!
