The kitchen opens into the informal dining room. The floor pattern connects the two spaces. Pops of orange help bounce color between the rooms. Instead of upper cabinetry on the wall over the gas range, burled walnut walls of an adjacent hallway offers storage, plus houses a number of built-in appliances. There is also a floor to ceiling pantry (that you cannot see) located along the entire wall behind the acrylic bar chairs. Brett Drury Photography
