Warm Santa Cecilia Royale granite countertops accent the classic white cabinetry in this inviting kitchen space in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In this project we used a beautiful fused glass harlequin in greens, whites, reds, and yellows to tie in the colors in the adjacent living room. Opening up the pass through between the living room and kitchen, and adding a raised seating area allows family and friends to spent quality time with the homeowners. The kitchen, nicely situated between the breakfast room and formal dining room, has large amounts of pantry storage and a large island perfect for family gatherings. copyright 2011 marilyn peryer photography
