This expansive kitchen and great room shows that a refresh is often just as effective as a complete overhaul when the bones of the space are solid and the right team is assembled. The existing oak cabinets were reconfigured and refinished, a huge custom island was introduced as was a burst of bold colors that play elegantly off of the expertly sourced soft goods and home decor. A large, modern fireplace and floor-to-ceiling ledger stone behind a custom mantle provide great a backdrop for the new dramatic hanging light fixtures. As all elegant and homey spaces should be, it is near impossible to pass through and not feel the strong desire to sit and stay a while.
