The Project

Black base cabinets ground the room; white uppers keep it open. Warm light under the cabinetry adds depth to the pale backsplash and counters.

The waterfall island makes space for casual seating. The original closer photographs show the cabinet transitions, lighting and sink area without reconstructing a new view.
