The desk area was turned into a deep floor to ceiling storage cabinet, with translucent textured acrylic doors, illuminated inside for dramatic effect at night. The refrigerator was shifted to the right, opening up counter space for the cooktop. Instead of the crowded racetrack island with the cooktop, a stunning round island table unifies the kitchen space for equal access on all sides. The new black stained maple floors help to pop the soft gray cabinets.
