The existing kitchen space plan was inefficient. The goal was more light, a better functioning workspace, more storage and an updated kitchen with an eating area, restyled with a French influence.

The cook now enjoys increased storage and counter space, enhanced lighting and a much more efficient kitchen space plan. Cabinetry was built to blend the new with the old and detailed with beadboard and custom valances, finished to connote French character. An asymmetrical island was finessed into the new space. Granite tops the island and slate was custom fabricated for the surrounding areas.

The computer workspace and display shelving fit comfortably in the rearranged family room by fitting the combination into a connecting corner with all the computer equipment given a home to allow for desktop space. Natural light streams in from the skylights. And best of all, three sons now have an efficient sandwich-making-and eating-center!
