This home was completely open. The family room, dining area, kitchen, and living space all intersected into 1000 square feet of living space on one floor. We had to keep the entire area in mind when designing the kitchen, including making the traffic flow smoothly and matching the colors and finishes of the kitchen to the soft furnishings of the living space. The whole area can be seen when you enter the house, especially the kitchen. so if something didn't blend well, it would really stick out like a sore thumb. Severine Photography
