In any house we’ve lived in, the kitchen has been the heart of the home.  For us, we love nothing more than enjoying the company of friends and family over a good meal.  We’re relaxed entertainers so preparing food together is always time well spent.  Island benches are so great for this.  The vault of Velux skylights above this island bench is such an architectural statement and the timber detailing around the bench adds another level of character.  We’re big fans of integrated appliances for a streamlined look.
