Where the team began to really fall apart was largely in the execution. The green tile seems completely misplaced and is weirdly applied to the side of the constructed box insert where the fireplace formerly resided. Moving the wall oven to the peninsula awkwardly places it next to the sink and it becomes a barrier to the dishwasher. Additionally, the oven and the dishwasher sit awkwardly next to each other at different levels. In general, the execution of the cabinet work seems less than finished or ideal.
