Complete remodeling project, the ceiling was raised, and we discovered a lot more room than originally thought of, we ended up adding a soffit area, and creating a visually interesting architectural detail, the middle raised section conceals the ducting vents, and was the perfect area to add molding and lighting. This Kitchen has large appliances that were placed in strategic areas to still provide the feeling of an expansive area. The apron sinks adds a touch of a traditional look and the back splash ties in the counter top and cabinet colors beautifully.
