Designed around dinner

The kitchen is finished, the first big chapter of the remodel. We didn't design it for a photograph. We designed it for two people cooking at once, for friends leaning against the counter with a drink, and for whatever the garden hands us that week.

  • 04The final revealA room built for cooking together and hosting often
  • 05Lessons learnedWhat we would repeat, and what we would never do again
