This kitchen is relatively small -- the challenge was incorporate all the appliances that the homeowner requested. The range was moved from the corner so as to accommodate a 36" professional range and the island was extended to 5 ft for the prep sink and wine chiller. The microwave was installed in the island after the homeowner decided that they did not want a microwave in the corner (TV location), and the kitchen has a pantry to the left on the refrigerator along with a book section for cookbooks (see additional photo). The homeowner brought in color via the decor --plates, planters, accessories.
