The Essence of Simplicity This serene kitchen with its bright and fresh feel will inspire any chef. The dishwasher and fridge are concealed behind sleek handless cabinetry. The sink integrated with the counter top, continues the smooth feel of the design. Century-old hardwood floor counterpoints and accentuates the refined modern cabinetry. Optimizing storage makes this kitchen greener and the perfect space to enjoy one's art whether it's hung on the abundant wall space or crafted on the countertop. Super energy efficient appliances and dimmers reduce the load on the world's resources while the clean, crisp kitchen as a whole reduces stress.

Back-painted glass backsplash and flat panel cabinetry make for quick and easy clean up. Reed glass panel doors allow for the kitchen to be closed off from the rest of the house (containing aromas and noise) but light can still be shared with adjacent rooms. Reed glass and glass shelving in cabinetry lightens the feel of the work area and provides a display space for favorite glassware and ceramics. Photo by James Leynse Photography
