Radius Island

"This kitchen occupies a large space, and the homeowners wanted
the island to become a part of the adjoining family room. The far
end of the island is a counter-height eating area that's rounded to
make it more sociable. I like eating areas to be rounded, so the
family can look at each other rather than eat at a straight snack
bar where they sit like frogs on a log. Across from the chairs is a
fireplace wall that brightens up the whole space."

"The opposite end also features a rounded top with radius cabinetry
for prep and serving. Between those two is the sink, with a
dishwasher and pullout wastebasket for clean up. The raised cabinet
provides a backsplash, hides the sink and gives dimension to the
island. There are coordinated light fixtures—a larger one over the
eating area and pendants above the rest of the island. The chairs
coordinate with the chairs that are in their informal dining room,
and the radius doors and black countertop of the raised cabinet are
repeated in the family room and entertainment center."
