These homeowners wanted to open the floorplan of their kitchen, so beams were installed in order to open the wall to the living room as well as the dining room. This drastically improved the flow of the home and allowed for a much larger and more functional work triangle. A large island was designed to station between the kitchen and living room so the cook can entertain. Brick accents adorn the backsplash and the space over the new beam. Shiplap, shaker cabinets and a contrast island make this kitchen a comfortable place to spend time with family and friends.
