Stone Hollow: A Spacious Kitchen Design
Most all can agree, that the kitchen is arguably the most important space of a home. Some may even say that it is the heart of a home. This is where families gather for family dinners, mid-afternoon snacks, and is one of the first and last stops to an unwinding day to grab that glass of wine and relax.
This original kitchen was great. It had a central island, counter space, and an eat-in dining area. For many this would be an optimal kitchen, but every family is different and their needs vary depending on family size and their intent for the space.
For this family, space and storage were the most important factors in their kitchen. The size before was okay but more open space was needed for five or more to gather (without stepping on toes) for this growing family.
The exterior wall of the kitchen grew about 12'. This allowed for longer perimeter cabinets and the orientation of the island to be turned so that when guests (and children) are sitting at the island, the circulation space behind does not hinder the opening of cabinetry or the refrigerator.
The design of the kitchen is classic and timeless. The color palette, cabinetry storage solutions, and fine details define the features that mattered most: space & storage.
