countertops. And the island, a shiny zinc focal point, gives the kitchen a modern update while staying true to the home’s existing language. But the pièce de résistance is found in the truly custom walk-in pantry. “I love the idea of having my own little five and dime in my house,” Becki says about the pantry. “Originally, we had two chimneys in the home, so we were okay with removing one in the kitchen to achieve the pantry and master bedroom closet. And the girls play in there constantly, pretending to shop. I love seeing them play through the chicken wire door.”
