Island with prep sink and quartzite
Craftsman Kitchen, Raleigh
The wood stain we felt was necessary to warm up the space to the great room. I would have hated a white wall of cabinets. We did the backsplash in white, which was enough. Here you can see a good shot of our favorite hangouts, the porch and the island. My husband and I now cook together for the first time ever - he loves it!
