something special
Cooks love their knives! We created a special drawer with Kapoosh food-grade plastic rod inserts for flexible, easy storage of multiple blades.
The new island with built-in table level seating allows nearly twice the island prep space and serves as a great buffet space for entertaining. Tall perimeter cabinets provide ample room for pantry and small appliances.
The gorgeous artisan copper hood and ceiling beams create a focal point as you enter the kitchen.
A stone-wrapped wine cellar with rustic wood storage racks adds old-world character.
A single island seat allows seated prep work or a friend to chat with the cook.
We worked within the existing footprint of this kitchen to create more room by extending the island into the former nook and incorporating seating at the island end. We relocated the refrigerator and shifted the sink out of the corner, adding a window along the back wall to bring in more light and to enjoy backyard views. We repurposed space under the stairs from a pantry to a wine cellar, creating a new pantry area where a seldom-used kitchen desk space used to be.
