This kitchen as dated and ugly. I tend to not use strong words for any space, but there is no other way to describe the befores of this space. I cleaned it all up to start with while seeing some of the bones I wanted to use. I added a massive new island, making room for a wine fridge and a microwave. I created a new ceiling plan with recessed lighting and while it was tempting to do island pendants, my vision was to keep the view unobstructed. This is where all the work happens and the niche behind the range is to die for. Its stunning and adds so much function in the kitchen. Easy access for your cooking essentials. Black pull out faucet keeps the material pallete modern adn edgy and built in soap dispenser keep the counter clutter free.
