Lifestyles have changed, and so have kitchens. It seems everyone wants to be in the kitchen these days, from grandkids to the aspiring master chef. Kitchens need to be versatile, and these homeowners had the resources to fulfill their dreams for a useable, entertainment venue.

Working as a tag team in the kitchen, this couple needed space. Ample counters and convenient storage weren't the only items on their wish list. A 6-burner range and double ovens were a must. A prep sink as well as two 36” kitchen sinks make food preparation and clean-up easy. Adding the butcher block as a companion to the polished granite counter-top mixed functionality and beauty.

Aesthetics can be just as important as purpose. The surrounding views offered the perfect backdrop. Using colors, textures and patterns inspired by the outdoors, every element of this kitchen echoes the warmhearted hospitality important to these homemade gourmets.
