The owner of this full kitchen remodel wanted to incorporate the kitchen into the social environment of the living room. In order to do this, the bar seating was kept at the kitchen counter height to place an emphasis on the inclusiveness of those enjoying the fire and those cooking in the kitchen. They added a decorative wood hood over the range (insert oven/stove name) from Vail Cabinets to coordinate with the newly cream color painted cabinetry to brighten up the cooking area.
