This black custom range hood is so massive it becomes the dominant design element of this kitchen and sets off the play of black and white appliances. The hood holds sway over a white gas range surrounded by a black inset in the floor. Likewise, a black-front dishwasher is installed into a white island, also set on a black area with cork surrounding it. The large wrought-iron pot rack over the island ties into the black elements while the wood counter on the island functions as a neutral material nearly the same color as the main areas of the floor.

Later, undermounted sinks and farm sinks became more fashionable . A butler’s pantry is partly visible to the left of the doorway.
