After evaluating the kitchen space, a new U-shaped layout was created to gain valuable wall space that was needed to incorporate a 42” wide sloping hood that the client so desired. The walk-in pantry had to be removed and was replaced with a pantry cabinet. The stunning hood with its sloping sides is made of a combination of walnut wood and creamy painted wood.

The hood with its two-tone color, batten strips and defining molding details is the focal point of the room. The same wood is used on the island to tie the two elements together, as well as, on the new built-in bookcases in the adjacent Family Room. A microwave drawer is hidden below the countertop on the island and a counter-depth refrigerator with a paneled front blends in seamlessly with the new inset cabinetry.
