This wide open galley style kitchen is flanked at either end by windows. Sunlight pours in to accent the reclaimed wood floors, high ceilings and gray washed maple cabinets. We mixed a wood hood to match the floors which added a touch of warmth to become the focal point in this kitchen. White, lightly veined countertops carried upwards to become the backsplash and created a luxe chef's kitchen feel. This spacious, open floor plan didn't always exist. We tore out several walls and removed a structural post that blocked the views, adding a recessed structural ceiling beam instead. The outcome created sweeping views which transformed how this family connected and interacted.
