In Living Color: View the Kitchen

The breakfast nook is created for eating, relaxation, and even plugging in a laptop and doing work. Glassware storage and a super-capacious combination wine cooler and beverage holder is on one side, accessible to the dining area. On the other side is a hammered-steel bar sink—plus the coffee corner, with its built-in stainless steel coffee machine, warming drawer for coffee cups and four-slice toaster. The area is well equipped to make preparing breakfasts a breeze. A practical and simple entryway helps to welcome, organize, and separate the entrance from the kitchen.

The kitchen is a study in color and texture; style and functionality. The whites of the cabinetry form clean lines, contrasted with the green walls and tiles. Bright colored graphic fabrics are used throughout. Glass inserts and chrome help ground the kitchen with refinement and style, and solid stone elements are used as foundational elements. A rustic-looking barn door separates the rooms for a strong and functional statement. Key features within the kitchen include a custom coffee bar to help start each morning with espresso shop-quality beverages. The kitchen is created as a center for entertainment with open areas and a central island for congregation. It is equally built for cooking, with a particular slant toward preparing fresh meals with vegetables directly from the garden.
