Farmhouse Kitchen
A butcher-block topped island pairs well with soapstone counter-tops to enhance the kitchen's farmhouse style.
Before the renovation, a wall three-quarters of the length of the room ran along a dropped beam that separated the kitchen into two distinct areas. The offending wall was removed and a flush beam installed to unite the two halves of the existing kitchen. Although no windows were added, an abundance of natural light flows freely through the unified space.
