Sensational Stone

PROJECT INFO: The owners had raised their kids in this house and they were grown, so it was finally time for a kitchen update. They wanted to open it up to the living room on one end and the dining room on the other. We maintained a half wall on the living room end to anchor a loveseat. A small peninsula on the other end houses breakfast bar seating. We created a laminate-lined cabinet with a perforated metal door to house wet towels to dry, solving for a pet peeve of seeing towels draped all over the kitchen. A dark honed granite paired with the slate ledger stone backsplash gave a nod to the exact rustic vibe they were wanting. The storage efficiency we created in this kitchen brought it from a traditional past into a highly functional future.
