One of the main themes of this rustic country kitchen is that everything has a home. The perimeter base cabinetry, for example, provides many organization options, including an open storage nook that holds the GE microwave (next to the coffee bar area) as well as upper cabinetry for food storage and glassware. Meanwhile the open shelving on either side of the hood adds a decorative element while also functioning as a storage space for dishes and bowls. Meanwhile the large center island with the IKEA LERHYTTAN base cabinetry offers tremendous storage capability with space for dishes, utensils and serving plates on one side and a unique glass-fronted base cabinetry to display glasses on the other. It even has enough space for three barstools and IKEA’s HAVSEN Apron Front double bowl sink with IKEA’s LILLVIKEN sink strainer with stopper.
