Simple flat front cabinetry was selected for this kitchen: white for the main work area and deep blue-grey for the island. The mobile island serves both as a buffet and work area when pulled into the work area. The butcher block top adds warmth and echoes the tones of the cherry floor. The long main wall continues into the hallway and stairwell, as does the display of artwork. The white backdrop allows the brilliant colours of the art to sing, while playing off the red walls in the work area.
