Our family lives in the kitchen living area they told us, but the wall between the living room and the kitchen was small and closed off to everything. They were told by another company, its too small to added and island. We said, we got you! Took that wall down between the living room and the kitchen and added an amazing island with seating to do homework and talk to the cook at the same time. So much love is going on in this kitchen, love for family, love of togetherness, love for cooking and love for light. Taking the wall down not only gave them an island with seating but it allowed the great big front window to pour natural light into the whole space. It was everything and more they wanted.
