This dazzling vision emerged from the wife’s fashionista background … but she was pregnant and the twins were due in mere weeks!

By taking down two walls, we connected the kitchen to the dining and living rooms, while leaving the drop down ceiling to retain the intimacy of the kitchen.

The husband now raves to friends: “How good does my kitchen look?”
