After settling their family into this untouched mid-century gem in Piedmont, they set to work making it a “livable modern”. We were called in to sort out the kitchen. The space was large but included unused space for a kitchen table right next to the dining room. We removed the peninsula and added an extensive island that filled into this eat-in area. Half the island is custom grain-matched walnut doors and drawers, and the other half is open below for 5 counter-height stools. The family now eats every meal around the kitchen island.
