Pairing sophistication with function, the expansion of this kitchen allowed for much more prep area and a space in the kitchen for the family to gather while maintaining an elegant palette. A strong contrast of the glossy white perimeter cabinets and the distressed painted black island are pulled together with the veining of the 'yellow river' granite countertops. A touch of 'bling' in the stainless steel and tantrum glass backsplash add the final touch of glamour.
