This client desired a functional kitchen with many decorative elements to hide appliances since the kitchen is open to the great room. The family's three children sit at the island often for snacks and to do homework. The parents can prepare meals while monitoring and helping their kids with school work. The appliances are all paneled to match cabinets. The white inset cabinetry on the perimeter is bright and airy. The medium toned island provides a "furniture look," with many custom features. The Carrera marble countertops and backsplash are stunning.
