Stylish Sink Area

The kitchen’s white apron-front sink has a streamlined and versatile farmhouse style. The single bowl sink with touchless faucet sits next to a stainless built-in dishwasher, surrounded by a polished quartz countertop. “I choose pure white because of all the elements that were going on, especially with the brick, the woods, the stainless steel, the paint and everything else going on,” says designer Tiffany Brooks. “I wanted to add calm there to the perimeters of the kitchen.”

Custom Storage Solution

A custom pipe and wooden shelf system sits in front of the left and right window that flank the sink, perfect for storing glasses and plates. Designer Tiffany Brooks says this storage system allowed the huge window area to remain open. “You have a direct view to your driveway, your garage area and all your neighbors on the street in front of the house.”

Handsome Floor

The kitchen’s Latte Oak floor adds character to the room. “What I like about hardwood in the kitchen is that it’s more forgiving than a harder floor like tile,” says project manager Scott Branscom. “It’s warm and helps tie spaces together in this home.”

Display Space

The butcher block top of the island allows space for bowls and plates of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as glass vases for fresh cut flowers and branches that bring the outdoors inside.
