A couple with three children needed a dramatic update to their original kitchen to better reflect their styles. They were attracted to the idea of Tuscan design and desired a traditional space to cook family meals and welcome friends and family.

Warm elements of color in the tile and countertops balance the space visually while the stone surround of the cooktop evokes the Old Country.
