Much like a legitimate dating app we foster connections making both parties much happier and grounded.  Of course, instead of lovesick singles, we effectuate a harmonious blending of spaces...all while each maintains a solid identity and requisite coziness.  An example is this kitchen and living room.  Originally a wall was placed unceremoniously between the two, one not aware of the other.  The living room garnered sufficient sunlight that it was peaceable in it's existence...the kitchen, however, syphoned it's natural light via a single horribly inadequate window.  Once we dynamited our way through that diabolical wall, creating a wide doorway...well then Mr. Kitchen and Mrs. Living Room intermingled each other's light and love...and the rest is history. 

Of Note — A quick survey of this project may overlook a cool aspect of the island: namely a flush induction cooktop (allowing the entire surface to be utilized as counter until one wishes to use some of it for cooking)...as well as a flush vent hood.  Both function dreamily in their duties & stealth.

Of Further Note — the left and right extremes of this kitchen perimeter sport tall pull-out pantries.  These offer a terrific alternative to standard talls with roll-out trays and adjustable shelves.  With these contraptions one may, with one hand, pull out and visualize their entire contents at once.
