Project Summary 

For years this family spent every day in a dysfunctional kitchen space that magically attracted clutter.  Most of us can relate. To make matters worse, these homeowners cooked a lot and really cherished that family-oriented experience, and wanted it to be more convenient and much easier. 

They needed a highly functional space and as much of it as possible—especially countertops and accessory storage. The solution came in the form of an unusual island configuration, an added pantry, and a 2-toned design to reach that higher aesthetics bar.

 

AFTER: Quartzite – Taj Mahal, edge profile: 1/8” bevel, seeded glass uppers w/LED lighting, floating Walnut shelves to match island.
