The original kitchen was very segmented and had odd angles. Originally, the clients wanted to keep the kitchen in the existing space, but they decided to add on to the room, which allowed designer Christopher Grubb to create an entirely new space.

The homeowners wanted an updated farmhouse design that fit in with their modern traditional style. The new kitchen feels more open and airy with beautiful white cabinetry, porcelain-tiled flooring, stainless steel appliances and a neutral subway-tile backsplash.

Originally, the design was going to include a coffered ceiling. However, once the clients decided to expand the space, Grubb created a vaulted ceiling with beams. The new ceiling is a stunning architectural detail and also makes the space feel larger.

Rustic barstools provide casual seating at the island, which functions as a eating area, preparation station and gathering spot.
