For a busy family of four, this kitchen was reasonably functional, but oh-so 1980’s. There were limited changes to the floor plan, and the client was adamant about adding an island even with tight clearances. However, the true design gesture of this kitchen is the bold choice of rustic alder wood cabinetry. The sink, sink faucet, floating shelves, cabinet glass and lovely fixtures keep this kitchen feeling sophisticated. And of course, the kitchen island is now the heart of the home!
