Neal Nesbit of Shoreline Cabinet Company also designed this Wilmington, North Carolina, kitchen with two islands intended as separate work and entertaining spaces. One island has a prep sink and easy access to the refrigerator, range and main sink. The other island faces the dining area and has a beverage center, making it suitable for hosting guests away from the workflow.
Separate cooktops allow two people to cook at once, and a clear path between the island to the sink from the range makes for smooth traffic flow.
