Kitchen

I like a sleek, modern kitchen. The cabinets can be white or wood, but need to have contrast. Some of the examples below provide that contrast through the grain of the stone. I like the idea of stone grain as an artistic feature. I prefer waterfall islands, if we can can comfortably seat 5-6 at the sides of the bar for eating in the kitchen. Special design concerns about accessibility - range ovens are fall hazards, appliances with controls on the front are a must... I have noted my favorite kitchen - but they are all beautiful.
