The owners of this Stillwater home wanted four things from their new kitchen: a larger more open plan, a design theme that connected it to the other rooms, a display space for their Japanese art collection and an overall design that honored the site.

I removed several walls, raised the ceiling and added multiple windows to make the room feel larger and bring the outside in. Prairie-themed wooden bands were used to connect the rooms to one another and to the art display cabinet that flows between the living room and kitchen.
