The new casement window and single bowl sink were great additons and the ceiling mounted fixture eliminates shadows and give this area a great sense of place. The curve on the peninsula counter makes the space feel more open and inviting. The glass inserts on the cabinets also makes it feel much...

View toward the familyi room. The close up shows off the copper hardware and this matched up perfectly with the bourbon glaze on the cabinetry.

Another view of the area under the upper cabinetry

Using the vertical glass tile at the range and bracketing it with stainless trim really made the microwave, splach and range work as one vertical design element and gave is an elegance that is not expectd. The stainless trim provided a nice transition to the Porcelanos splash tile

This Base Spice pullout was one of many great storage solutions

The buffet cabinet was a key element in pulling together the larger space. Looking like a furniture pice it back up the sofa and tied to the family room, but it also gave definitiion to the eating area and provided great storage and a place for serving while entertaining.

This is a decent view of the Cambria counter material. The appointments are wonderful throughout.

Not sure you can see it, but the hardware has a nice fleur-de-lis design on it. The alder wood reaches out nicely to all the other finishes around it and pairs nicely with the new hardwood flooirng.

Before - Cramped and not enough storage

Before Picture - fairly dated and uninspiring

Before Picture - the half wall ensured that the overall space would be compartmentalized into familly room, nook and kitchen with no real flow. The hinged patio door swung into the eating area.
