To start, we wanted to unify the work surfaces into one cohesive work space. Placing the eating area in the bumped-out bay with a banquet table arrangement gave us room for a nice island. Placing the induction cooktop on the island with a pop-up style downdraft left plenty of 2-person, work space around the large, single bowl, two-person, 45" Kohler "Prolific" work station sink on the main L-shape. Adding a large pantry next to the refrigerator, meant ample storage space so we could use the space above the sink counter for personalized open space instead of the traditional bank of upper cabinets. A new window next to the back door completed the contiguous open, feel, bringing the wonderful backyard greenway in. Custom upholstery, a custom-made walnut table, and Hanford-themed pendants helped to dial-in this delightful and very personalized kitchen.
