The Kitchen That Opened the House

01The Job

An olive-walled kitchen boxed in by a peninsula, taken down to the studs and rebuilt as one bright room: white shaker cabinets, a quartz island that seats five, and wide-plank floors that run straight through to the dining room.

Real job photos, taken on site. Built in the Quad Cities before the move to Austin.
