The heart of the home...

Where the family gathers, meals are prepared, messes are made and cleaned up. Where the party usually gravitates. We take all these considerations of the heart when we plan a kitchen. Then we factor in the practical needs. Are there enough drawers? Is there task lighting? Is there enough counter space? Is there enough clearance for all the doors and drawers to open? Is the working triangle in place? (Don’t know this term? Check this link from Architectural Digest article about its importance. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/kitchen-triangle-best-way-to-design-a-kitchen)

And then we work to make it pretty, because as with most things, you eat it with your eyes first.

The open concept floor plan enables you to see the kitchen from the main living areas. Because of this, we have spent a bunch of time checking alignments. Are the stove and island centered in the opening?Are the upper cabinets balanced on either side of the sink. How do we treat the end of the island? So many things to hold in balance.

Of the many kitchens we have renovated, this one may be the best. The flow is great, the space is balanced and functional, and yes it will whet your appetite when completed. Take a look.
