The kitchen was totally gutted, keeping the existing plumbing lines etc. keeps costs down. The kitchen was custom made using a mixture of walnut and painted cabinets. All the receptacles were taken off the back wall and hidden under the base of the upper cabinets giving the slate finger tile back splash an uninterrupted look. I used high definition laminate counters, the kitchen hosts storage everywhere, from the corner drawers that access storage all the way back to the corner as well as the heavy mixer that lifts to counter height air assisted. The floor is a floating vinyl walnut/grey which i used in the custom stain given to the cabinets. The peninsula seats 4 comfortably and adding this at bar height hides the mess from the dining area. The refrigerator wall was pulled out to give a visual interest as well as extra deep storage in the cabinets. One side of the painted cabinets host a locked bar and wine storage whilst the other side has a re-cycle center and display.
