Casual family gatherings with guests around the kitchen island allow viewing fun sports events and food network recipe search. The long counter under the TV is used as a staging area for food served to the backyard pool area. Underneath the bar counter is a wine frig second sink and second dishwasher. It's a smart way to isolate prepared food staging and keep clean up segmented from the main working area. The client choose stone for the long island to give the room personality and ceasar stone for the hard working perimeter. David Duncan Livingstone Photographer
