We wanted to open up this space for a bigger kitchen and more flow. We tore down the dividing wall, adding an engineered header for support. This allowed us to add a kitchen island. An opening above the sink allows for a view into the back living space. The cabinets are dark wood stained with shaker style doors. The dark wood cabinets are off set with the grey granite tops, white/grey subway backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Lighting includes pendants over the island, recessed can lighting, and undercabinet LED lighting.
