Kitchen was gutted with a new plan to accommodate storage and preparation areas for large group events. Sink in the island is for an additional prep area. The lower countertop is ideal for baking and for unloading groceries. Refrigerator and microwave are near the living area to make it easier for guests to help themselves. Glass-door cabinets were selected to help guests find needed dinnerware and to easily put away dishes after washing them. Natural sunlight with accent lights were on the wish list for the homeowner.
