What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
This transitional shaker kitchen was made ostentatiously to capture ones eye. It is functional and sophisticated. The kitchen was painted in cloud white color and the maple island was stained into rich chocolate. The drawers are dovetailed and large for maximum storage. It has custom made utensil and cutlery dividers as well as pull-out spice racks on each side of the stove. The appliances are all paneled. The top cabinets are all decorated with a beautiful mesh and the focal is on the two corner cabinets that are criss-cross framed with clear glass and LED lights. On the opposite wall of the room is a wall unit with a TV entertainment space and coffee maker appliance which is customized with a convenient pull out drawer for cups. This space also has an office table with filing drawers. Beside the survey room is a very unique winery. This room was fully enclosed with a clear glass walls and a door for complete exposure.
