We combined the old kitchen and pantry of this Ballard home into one room which created the spacious kitchen the owner wanted. Quarter sawn white oak cabinets provide limitless storage and a classic feel, while a raised granite countertop and separate bar area with sink and faucet allow for entertaining and a central gathering area. Details include a lighted soffit, schoolhouse lights, and full height slate backsplash with inserts that match the countertop material.
