This kitchen was tricky as it is in a condo so we were limited to the layout due to plumbing as it would effect the unit below so we had to work in the space we had. New grey cabinets and appliances, painting and lowering the raised eating bar making a larger workspace created a more open feel. The deletion of the small island in the middle which was more of a hindrance leaves plenty of room for multiple people to help the hostess! The quartz countertop runs up the walls as the backsplash and over the edge of the island for a seamless look.
