This custom kitchen was designed to be open to the rest of the central living space. By use of pull-out storage units, purposefully located next to the stove, sink and butcher block, it is easy to keep this kitchen clutter free. Stranded bamboo cabinets housing built-in compost and recycling, and a vacuum built into the toe-kick also add to convenient house keeping. The homeowner's and designer's attention to detail really made this kitchen an original with their beautiful tile choices, large windows, a chalkboard door front, drawer sliding foot stool under the sink for the kids, and even a matching bamboo cutting board sheathed into the face of one cabinet.
