This unique Tuscan kitchen does a lot of entertaining. The homeowners wanted
to be able to prepare their family meals with lots of counter space, store all
of their wine in the wine rack, and have all of the bill paying in one central
location in this kitchen. We also designed a larger pantry for them. We wrapped
the cabinets around the outside walls, and put the pantry and "desk"
area together on the inside wall. We shortened the window over the sink so we
could put lower cabinets where there had been a gap in the cabinets along the
wall. We kept the larger window in the breakfast table area and installed beveled
end cabinets for a smoother flow between the two areas. We moved the stove over
to the far wall, in place of an old window, giving more space for cabinets around
it and gaining storage space overall. The taller cabinets give them extra storage
as well. They can now prepare plates for all of the family on the island, something
they could not do before because they did not have enough counter space. The
island also functions as a seating area for the kids to eat snacks. |
