Ten Shades of Gray

Despite being in the middle of the home's first floor, the kitchen felt cut off from the rest of the house. By removing the end wall by the foyer, removing the code violating ducting on the dining room side and lifting up the header over the eating bar, the kitchen was given equal billing with the other spaces on the first floor. The gray cabinetry with stainless steel accents provide a neutral backdrop for the homeowners' McKenzie Childs collectables. The power receptacle over the eating bar includes a USB receptacle for convenient charging of electronic devices. Photo by Iklil Gregg courtesy WestSound Home and Garden
