SWIPE → everyone loves a good before/after. RIGHT?

our kitchen renovation allowed us to add a few features that eventually became guests FAVORITES.

1. a built bench for two ( or three ) so the chef can have company.

2. an opening in the wall visually connecting the kitchen & dinning room.

3. open shelving to house a full collections of coffee goods — if your a connoisseur like us, stick around, we’ll share more on this later.

For now, stay as long as you’d like swipes ← → are free.
head to our stories for a few more close ups.
