Climbing Higher, Storing More!

Two cooks truly can share the cooking while chatting! Before the island was cramped without side controls. Cabinets now extend to the 10'-tall ceilings. A 32'-long track provides the library ladder plenty of "roam" and access to the display cabinets and upper levels of the pantry and wall cabinets. The bar-height table at the end of the island serves as a homework station and supports ambitious projects needing plenty of counter space. The 7"-thick, jatoba butcher block (www.carvermaui.com) suits the quite tall husband perfectly! Photo: William Feemster
