Looking into the open kitchen, a message area is seen on the far left. File drawers are in the base cabinet, with space above for school directories, bulletin boards. A corkboard and charging station are at countertop level.

The island, looking back into the family room. The “working” side of the island shows a dishwasher, farm sink and double trash, all for clean up. The three little drawers on the right are for each child to store their books and crayons. Note the location of outlet on the inside panel of the island.

This all white space looks endlessly fresh and clean and airy. The oversize bonnet hood in stainless and mirror chrome sit above the Ilve rangetop.

Getting backsplashes right is never easy: a simple half-round band of White Carerra marble surrounds a custom mosaic of marble and glass arcs. The field tiles are honed Thassos White marble in 6” x 12” block, a kind of oversize subway tile. Their simplicity works well with the intricate mosaic.
