It was important that the new kitchen cabinets blend seamlessly with the Homeowner's collection of oak antiques and new white oak flooring, hence quarter sawn oak with a medium stain was selected for the cabinetry. A peninsula sat where the double oven cabinet sits now with a breakfast bar that over hung the sliding glass door. By removing the peninsula and a substantial portion of the wall between the dining room and the kitchen, the whole room was opened up for a comfortable gathering spot for conversation and the cook no longer felt cut off from the action.
