Our client wanted to improve the storage space within their kitchen. To that end, we eliminated the seating area in the kitchen. We expanded the island, adding a trash/recycle cabinet, a rollout-microwave and a beverage refrigerator. The trash/recycle cabinet was redesigned from a previous cabinet so we took the former drawer fronts of that cabinet and used them to make the door of the new cabinet. We designed floor to ceiling pantry cabinets with roll-out shelves, adjustable shelves and tray dividers. The island can now comfortably seat four. Pendant lighting was expanded to include three pendants. For the countertops. we selected a marble-inspired quartz. The sink is a single basin, stainless steel under-mount with a Kohler pull-down/pull-out faucet. We tiled with light gray subway tile with an organic edge and textured body (there was no backsplash previously).
