Some appliances and features (like trash bin and warming drawer) are hidden behind cabinet panels for a seamless look. The Vuelo faucet by Brizo was chosen because it resembles a swan. By removing a door, there's room for a granite-topped kitchen island, and yards of Wellborn cabinetry, artfully hidden appliances (like a dishwasher and warming drawers), artistic backsplashes and a swan-shaped faucet. A base cabinet gracefully curves into an adjacent room that serves as a drop zone from the garage, a mud room from the backyard, plus laundry. Photo by Toby Weiss for MBA
