A once dark and boxy kitchen is opened up to create an airy space that is the central hub of this home. The kitchen features a large range hood, subway tile, Cambria countertops, a butcher block and white KraftMaid cabinetry. Natural light is one of the highlights of this project. The bench seat in the eating area not only offers extra storage but serves as a place for youngsters or guests to relax while remaining part of the action.
