The kitchen's ceramic tile floor continues into the butler's pantry and home office, where green granite tops off the computer desk. The pantry's built-in ceramic English farm sink works beautifully for arranging flowers or prepping for parties. The tile surrounding the pantry sink is cream with decorative green ivy . Along the walls, there is plenty of storage space in the hand-crafted maple cabinets, which are elegantly detailed with acanthus leaf motif molding around the top. Rich in detail and craftsmanship, their knobs and twisted Italian pulls are antiqued.
French sensibilities are at the heart of a kitchen in a French manor-styled house in Summit.
The house was built more than 30 years ago and remained unchanged until the new owners decided to update it three years ago. The kitchen takes its light from eastern exposure, making it the brightest and most cheerful room come morning. The center island is used for food preparation, quick breakfasts, buffet serving, and doing homework. On either side of the stove are pull-out spice racks . The Sub-Zero refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher are placed for easy access .
