The functionality of this country kitchen lies in its open concept. From the kitchen island, there is a clear line of sight through to the dining area, which means that the transportation of food will be a snap. The large kitchen island provides plenty of storage, and with a large countertop, it also provides plenty of prep space. Once it is prepared, food can be carried straight into the dining room with nothing to obstruct the path, making this kitchen not only elegant and peaceful, but also functional.
