Kitchen remodeling in Bucktown and Wicker Park

Bucktown and Wicker Park combine Victorian workers' cottages and Italianate houses on narrow lots, most gut-rehabbed at least once, with a decade of infill construction. The kitchen may be a cottage galley where every decision turns on aisle width, or a new-build room whose package was reduced to flat-pack boxes and laminate before anyone moved in. One needs precision within the old footprint. The other needs the original compromise rebuilt.
