Our client wanted their kitchen to have an open look between the kitchen and eating area, which the former peninsula made a confined space. By replacing the peninsula with a kitchen island, the area opened up creating additional storage and cooking space as well as a well-fitted place for the wine cooler and microwave.

Other appliances in this updated kitchen include a 48-inch stainless steel stove with two separate ovens, a washing machine, and a large two door fridge.

The classic white shaker cabinets were preferred for this remodel since they offer a timeless look. The cabinets include either pull-out shelves or drawers, making it easy to store or access any item - there are even specific dividers for cookie sheets and serving trays in the pantry.
