By removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room the vision to create a connected, open space emerged. 3 notable aspects of the design are the coffee/ buffet bar, window seat, & wooden beam. Each holding its own function, the bar allows to pull the blue from the island into the dining room. The window seat creates a nook which was otherwise unusable and the wooden beam a place to accent and highlight the warm wood tones in the floor and other various furniture elements in the space.
