Natural Ambiance

In stark contrast to the lighter tones used throughout the open space are the kitchen cabinets, that boast a darker finish as a result of the use of lyptus, which hails from the eucalyptus family. According to Shinneman, the eucalyptus is a fast-growing tree that is also a good renewable source for wood that resembles mahogany. All cabinets in the island also have the lyptus application, except for the one facing the dining area, which is made of zebra wood. Photo by Matt Kocourek http://www.mattkocourek.com/
