The first priority for these new homeowners was to convert their small, serviceable kitchen into their dream kitchen with actual cooking being a distant second priority. They wanted the styling to be traditional, in keeping with the Edwardian details of their home, white, and fresh looking. Michael Merrill Design Studio designed this space with a goal of creating an area that was wonderful to look at and possibly to cook in. The floor plan was reworked to create an over-scaled galley kitchen. The refrigerator was relocated, making room for a wonderful pantry while the opening between the kitchen and the dining room was positioned where it should have been all along. White painted cabinets, stainless steel appliances, high backsplashes, and Carrera marble countertops provide a modern take on a traditional look. (2006-2007)
