Dad Came to Rescue of My Small Kitchen Layout!

The kitchen layout design is something we all live with in our kitchens.
Of all the things that can be updated in a house when you first move in, the kitchen is one of your first considerations.
Well I had this great idea... with the bonus money from work, I was going to get the kitchen re-designed. It was a petite kitchen with a window, door, and the boiler was even in there! It is smaller then small with dimensions of approximately 8 foot by 8 foot. Being a very small space, it was a challenge to make something out of it...
All I wanted was a small, pristine, and beautiful looking kitchen.
So... with my best feet forward, I headed to the local retailers to get the best design. I found that my kitchen in the town I live in was not up to code! Oh joy! It turns out that the kitchen needed to be enlarged in order to meet current standards, but I didn't have the money for that.
Well with heavy heart, I thought of a couple of things. I'll see if I can get an experienced designer in and realized that it would cost me for their services. I hoped that they could solve my problem.
The designer that came over arrived very late and after looking at my kitchen had a few suggestions and as it ended up, I was not impressed with him or his "expertise."
After he left I felt down and figured that there was no solution for my tiny space...But as I found out later, there was hope for my kitchen.
As for the small beautiful kitchen that I have always dreamed of... Dad came to the rescue. He was always handy with wood and tools. As it turns out, I should have called on him first! My awkward tiny kitchen, was tidied up and finished out - by the man I admire most in my life: my Dad...
