Kitchen of the Week: Open and Gray Save the Day (12 photos)

AFTER: O’Connor completely reconfigured the kitchen layout, with priority given to opening up the space and spreading out the storage through a workhorse island. For example, she replaced a corner pantry with 36-inch-high base cabinets with pullouts on the side of the island that faces the sink.

For continuity and a less choppy look, she installed custom cabinets up to the ceiling around the perimeter. The new island features outlets for small appliances and a built-in microwave, shown here on the end. Its expansive countertop is interrupted only by a small prep sink, giving the homeowners tons of new work surface. Plus, the removal of the island tower created unobstructed views through the kitchen and into the dining area.

Custom cabinetry: Durham, Plato Woodwork; white cabinet paint color: Arctic White with Gray Glaze, Plato Woodwork; island cabinetry: Dover, Plato Woodwork; island cabinet paint color: Shadow with Brushed Black Glaze, Plato Woodwork
