Contrasting cabinetry, warm wood beams and an expansive countertop bring a fresh sense of connection to the kitchen and dining area.
From enclosed to connected.
Once separated by decorative columns and a raised cooking counter, this kitchen now feels open, welcoming and connected to the dining area. Moving the range to the perimeter created more room for preparing meals, pulling up a stool and spending time together.
Rich, dark cabinetry pairs with bright countertops and a textured backsplash, while wood beams and hardwood floors bring warmth throughout. The adjoining mudroom remains a practical part of the home, keeping everyday essentials close at hand.
