The following are pictures of a kitchen I designed late last year. I had the pleasure of going back to see the end result. My client had very specific tastes and had taken a lot of time to decide the style and finishes she wanted. They are a family with teenage kids and they love to entertain. Originally the kitchen was attached to a breakfast nook. We decided to do away with it and the pantry in order to incorporate a large entertaining area.

My favorite details in this kitchen are the custom walnut inserts. The round tabletop helps to break up the monotony that occurs in a large slab of granite. We also added a half round at the other end which is perfect of hor d'oeuvres.
