The configuration of the cabinets and the thoughtful, well-designed layout make the welcoming, open kitchen seem larger than actual size.

Midcentury-style 30-inch stools with faux black leather seats, low back rests and lipped edges provide comfy seating at the kitchen's center island.

The open kitchen flows into the adjacent dining room, with a coordinating color scheme and design details that help the two spaces blend together seamlessly.

The kitchen's innovative undermount stainless steel sink includes a bamboo cutting board, colander, two multipurpose grated racks and a wash bin, with three graduated ledges in the basin that allows accessories to be placed at a preferred height.
