After a long day’s work, the kitchen’s garden views and soothing green glass tile provide the perfect back drop for this client’s favorite post-work therapy: cooking. Dark countertops and transitional style help make the kitchen feel at home with rest of the house. Just in line with the new island sits a built-in television for easy viewing during meal prep. The kitchen is now the heart of the home—a gathering place for guests and a hub for memory making with the family. Clutter free countertops attest to the efficient new storage, including an exposed wine rack tucked under the new kitchen island. The small island houses a mini sink with a garbage disposal, trash compactor and enough space to preparing family meals.
