Melinamade Interiors If you designed it to allow for a stove then yes, you could. This one I designed with angled drawers and roll outs instead.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Natural flooring. Flooring in an Asian-style kitchen feels organic and warm. Bamboo is a fail-safe choice, but consider slate or another natural stone as well. Exotic hardwoods also look appropriate.
