SPECIAL DESIGN ELEMENT: Special places for everyone in the family to share the large room while doing separate activities.
SOMETHING I LOVE ABOUT OUR NEW KITCHEN: I love the room and all of the space and features of my new cabinets. I utilize every bit of it. I love to be in the room with my whole family and have room for everyone. This space just works for my large family.
SOMETHING I DIDN'T EXPECT: I didn't think I would have as much cabinet space that I do, and how much the space and layout would work for my family.
