We layed out this kitchen with as much separation as possible between the sink/washing area and cooking/prep area. Lots of custom storage solutions like drawers that hold dishes, spices and knives. We tried to mimimize the amount of walking and bumping into each other by having everything well though out and located. The new 9' window brings in a ton of light & air and a view of the great backyard. We did natural cherry to blend in with the rest of the house's original gum wood moldings & doors.
