The kids have grown up and started their own lives, but rather than downsize, marriages and babies have meant the family is getting larger, making get-togethers and entertaining as a higher priority. This kitchen righted the wrongs of their previous design with a more usable island that has plenty of seating, storage for everyday and special occasions, and a bar area to transition from the kitchen to the adjacent dining room. The bright kitchen has a classic aesthetic, with just the right balance of traditional styling and modern sensibilities.
