Identifying the need to temper a grand space that exhibited a lot of unused volume and terrible transitions, we opened up the pantry to be more a part of the kitchen design, designed and executed a beautiful faux plaster hood surround that helped accentuate the amazing blue-black Le Cornufe range, and created a dedicated work space for Dad’s dinners on a gorgeous end-grain custom wood countertop. From a shallow space where the old-school desk setup used to be, we carved out just the right number of inches for a breakfast and snack hutch for the kiddos alongside a great baking center for mom (when she’s not playing hostess with the mostest at her bar setup!)  We love those busy working professionals who also need their own down time and we enjoyed bringing this project to life for them – modernizing and re-integrating better function and flow to the hub of their home space in a way that genuinely adds value to their investment there.
