Whenever my client had friends over, they always congregated in the kitchen around the island. The original kitchen was walled in, so the first thing I did was to tear down the walls and open the kitchen up to the rest of the condo. I also created a special place for him with comfy leather chairs to sit alone or with a dear friend to relax and look out at the water, He later told me that this was a wonderful surprise, and how much he loved this little area.
