A chef, the homeowner wanted good appliances, but she didn’t want her kitchen to look “too commercial.” She chose windows instead of extra upper cabinetry, using an interior wall for needed storage. The island is modeled on a design found online. The upholstered stools are from Margo Moore Interiors and are finished with an indoor/outdoor fabric that is easy to clean. The countertop is a honed black granite with silver and blue flecks.
