The owners of an historic home near Boston had recently transformed overgrown woods behind their house into a spectacular garden, but their existing kitchen took little advantage of its location overlooking this private, sunny rear yard. Also, existing work counters, appliances, storage cabinets and an adjacent breakfast room were all disconnected from each other, frustrating the homeowners who yearned for a more functional and inviting center for creative activity. Now, the re-designed kitchen unites food preparation and dining into one daylight-filled room where form and function combine to bring back the "joy of cooking" for this family of bakers and cooks.
