The wall had a pass- through opening, but this only dated the space and made it feel much smaller than the current floor plan.

To compensate for any resulting loss of countertop, she created an oversized island that allows for ample workspace. To break up the monotony of the white cabinets along the walls, Lacey accented the large island in black, with a stunning quartz countertop featuring waterfall edges. The black is then repeated in her breakfast table and the window treatments in the common areas.
