Mask the Mess

"The inspiration for the kitchen was the
kitchen in the movie "Something's Gotta
Give," which features a distinctive
Hamptons-style kitchen. It has the same
general look with white, Shaker, classic
inset-style cabinets; black honed
granite countertops; and subway tile.
The driving force behind this island was
the homeowner's five young children—she
wanted them to be able to sit all of
them together there. The island orients
her toward the family space while she's
at the sink—she's not looking out the
window or at a wall, but is turned
toward her family."

"The island houses an integrated Miele
dishwasher, full trash/recycling pullout
and a beautiful Rohl farm sink and
faucets with an oil bronze finish on
both the faucets and cabinet hardware. Finally, the raise in middle of island
was last minute idea the homeowner had.
It helps to mask what's going on in the
sink area from the family and makes the
island less monolithic."
