Rustic elements and vintage finds mix with modern technology in this super-functional open kitchen with lots of natural light and strategic storage options.

The kitchen’s center island includes a bar sink and saddle stools for casual seating, with a blue base that coordinates with the surrounding maple cabinetry with beadboard panel detail and some glass fronts.

A rich European Walnut butcher block top adds character to the multi-functional island that offers prep space and a spot for family and friends to gather while meals are prepared.

The island’s white enameled cast iron bar sink makes it easy to wash produce and clean glassware and includes an oil-rubbed bronze faucet with vintage charm.
