We designed this kitchen specifically for our clients. We had worked with them in the past. Quite frankly doing a facelift of their existing kitchen where we had them install the fantastic random Forbo Marmoleum floor that is in this photo. When it came time to totally redo the kitchen we weren't ready to get rid of the floor so it stayed and everything else is new around it. The perimeter cabinets are bamboo and the island is painted as well as the upper cabinets except for the aluminum and glass doors. The existing window was painted black to blend better with new contemporary design and the wall between the living room and kitchen was partially removed to open the space. In this photo you can see the horizontal grooves we purposely had cut into the bamboo to accent the long linear look we were trying to achieve. The bamboo also runs horizontally rather than vertically
