Old Ubatuba Replaces Stark White

One forum reader, upon seeing our before pictures, said, "It looks like a nurse's station in a
hospital!"

Indeed. Out went the white Formica counter tops and the green and white wallpaper. Out
went the dark green tile floor.

In came much more elegance, nicer appliances in general and a double oven in particular.
And we had a sudden inspiration that led us to a graceful curve on the island.

Here are a before and after picture (click for larger versions).
See the link below for more pictures.

What we did was:

The island had to be rebuild with longer sides to accomodate the cooktop and downdraft.

The oven cabinet had to be rebuilt to accomodate the taller than normal DCS ovens. Luckily, we found the original cabinet manufacturer and got new shorter matching doors for over the ovens.

This is a working kitchen. Hardcore Food Network junkies, we enjoy cooking for our family, including our two high schoolers. We've been very pleased with the look and the usefulness of the kitchen and appliances.
