Family room addition off kitchen.

A micro addition also called a bump out which typically adds around 100 square feet is a small update that can have a tremendous impact on a home s footprint. If you have a small kitchen and have some room off the back of your house then consider an addition to the kitchen. A kitchen bump out addition costs 5 000 to 30 000. Blue stem construction made room for an eat in counter in this kitchen with a little 12 foot wide by 3 foot deep bump out.

At just 6 feet tall the cabinet stops several feet short of the ceiling allowing a visual connection between the two spaces and letting southern light from the family room spill into the kitchen. The smart renovation also allowed for the addition of a more spacious u shaped cabinetry setup. The family room side houses home entertainment equipment and storage drawers for tapes and compact discs. A freestanding cabinet separates the family room from the kitchen.

A minor kitchen remodel ranks toward the top of projects that recoup the associated cost. Bumping out two feet along one side of the kitchen is more cost effective than adding on an entire room to get a bigger kitchen although you can add up to 15 feet in a bump out if you add footings or more foundation.
