Everyday living with style

 

Kitchens are the heart of a home: they should work efficiently and effectively, while also communicating warmth and comfort. When counters are hard to clean (tile grout lines) and frequently used items are out of reach, daily family life doesn't flow as it could. Our kitchen designs integrate function with the elegance of clean lines, natural materials and one-of-a-kind details.

The hand-turned custom leg on the stand-up desk is a great welcoming gesture at the entrance to this Cherry Kitchen. This kitchen I did is 15 years old, and yet still retains a modern edge for today's tastes. Always fun to go back into my portfolio …
