Two islands and a unique pot rack add personality to a big but plain white kitchen
A pair of islands of different lengths creates a cooking zone and a secondary serving area adjacent to a dining room table. The island closest to the range wall, in this Crown Point kitchen, is the primary prep space. It contains a farmhouse sink and even a strip of baseboard heating. A giant pot rack, suspended over the main island includes three pendant lights in its framework. This updated pot rack makes for easy equipment storage, solves task lighting issues and — given a high-enough ceiling — adds an interesting architectural element in the space.
The island nearest the table houses a microwave, wine refrigerator and dishwasher drawers, making it functional and accessible to the dish- and glassware storage along the wall. Task lighting beneath upper cabinets all around the kitchen is a wonderful feature that makes every inch of counter space fully functional. Crown Point Barnstead perimeter cabinets also have popular bin pulls and latches. Soffit cabinets on the range wall help conceal the vent hood and act like paneling on an awkward strip above the main kitchen wall.
