Fun, Family-Focused Kitchen

With the perfect mixture of task-specific and kid-friendly ingredients, the Fenech family designed their dream kitchen to accomodate their children and passion for baking.

Multi-Purpose Counter Layout
This L-shaped counter can be used for food prep and display. In its previous state, the counter space was almost completely taken up by a sink and a free-standing range.

Dishwashing Made Easy
A stainless steel sink has a removable grid system to help filter any large food items that could clog the drain. The one-touch technology gooseneck faucet allows one to use both hands for dishwashing; water turns on with a simple tap of the arm.

Convenient, Hidden Trash Bin
A pull-out trash bin integrated into the base of a cabinet keeps bins for trash and recyclables within arm’s reach.

Bold, Refinished Floors
Instead of ripping out the existing wood floor, the uneven floors were leveled, sanded, then refinished in a matte, dark walnut stain.

The Sweet Spot
To keep all baking supplies confined to one area and out of the children’s reach, the Fenechs opted for upper cabinetry to house both ingredients and bakeware.

The Icing on top… of the Window
A window in the kitchen’s baking station looks out on the front yard. Custom-made Roman blinds dress up the window with a dash of contrasting color and graphic pattern.

Kid-Friendly Pantry
There’s a kid-height pantry in the kitchen island that holds snacks, plastic cups and plastic bowls, allowing the kids to serve themselves.

Easy-Acess Storage
A pull-out drawer system in the island keeps plates and bowls at waist height. The top drawer holds flatware while the middle and bottom keep offer storage for dishes. These drawers are directly across from the dishwasher, allowing the Fenechs to fill the drawers with clean dishes without ever having make a single step.

Convenient Cookbook Shelving
Ansley and Asher Fenech sit on the counter of their family’s newly remodeled kitchen. Bookshelves built into the island keep cookbooks within easy reach.
