“The kitchen is the heart of our home. My husband loves cooking and having an open kitchen was a must when we were hunting for a home as we both know we would spend a lot of time there, but we couldn’t dream of a better kitchen. Because of the open design of the house, our kitchen is as much a dining room as a kitchen. So every day, when we come home from work, we sit around our kitchen island, open a bottle of wine and talk about our days as we prepare our dinner,” she said.
