BEFORE
AFTER
The Space
The cooking zone moved
from
the island to the
L-shape area between
the sink and refrigerator
to create more eating
space in the ioxi2/4_
foot
kitchen. Typically, Cheryl
recommends a prep sink
for an island, but here
she installed a built-in
steamer for cooking
vegetables and put a
pot-filler faucet above
the range.
The D etails
COUNTER POINTS
Cheryl chose easy-care
granite for the countertop
near the sink and range,
wenge wood where she
likes to chop, and waxed
copper,
above left
, for the
breakfast bar because its
patina creates an element
of surprise.
ISLAND ASSETS
The new pistachio-hue
island,
above center
,
interjects a shot of color
amid white cabinets and
provides specialized
storage, including pullout
shelves for cookware
across from
the fridge.
AT-A-GLANCE GOODS
When it comes to
food, Cheryl tells her
clients: “If you don’t
see it, you’re not going
to realize you have it.”
Her solution: a ix7-foot
pullout pantry,
above
right
, that’s accessible
from
both sides. ■
