To open up the space and add functionality as well as casual seating, we took down a half wall between the client's kitchen and dining areas and created a seated peninsula. By removing a soffit the client gained ample cabinetry space. The combination of undercabinet lighting and overhead lighting is extremely helpful in this multi-generational household. Beveled subway tile adds dimension to the backsplash. Cabinetry by Executive Cabinetry - Villa flat panel door, in Cherry with Autumn glaze.
