COUNTER  
 CULTURE 
 • 
 Kitchens, those homes within  
 our home, invite conversation.  
 This designer, tasked with encouraging  
 room for dialogue  
 as well as dessert, serves up a  
 spacious rectangular quartz island  
 that rests on a dark walnut  
 support. Comfortable counter  
 chairs invite an extended stay,  
 and clear glass lighting illuminates  
 entrees and talking points.
