" make the island stand alone and be an important
focal point. "
The layout of the kitchen now offers more function with the sink in the island, directly across
from the cooktop and custom ventilation hood
with brass wrapping. Double ovens are at one
end near the pantry and small appliance garage.
The paneled refrigerator sits at the opposite end.
There is plenty of seating at the island and the
adjacent breakfast area with a blue banquette. But
the entertaining space continues into the living
room thanks to the bar, created by borrowing a
bit of space from the closet in the room behind it.
GETTING PERSONAL WITH THE DETAILS

The husband entered the renovation with ideas
about appliances and spice racks, and the wife
brought with her plenty of design concepts that
Anderson incorporated. She chose the scalloped
backsplash and insisted on the blue hue for the
cabinets in both the kitchen and the bar area.
" The white countertops make the blue pop, and
the brass and light gold hardware set it off, " said
the designer.
With the same lower cabinet door style and
a penny tile backsplash in a color that matches
the one in the kitchen, the dry bar seamlessly integrates with the space. The upper cabinets have
glass doors that reflect the water outside.
A final feature bringing a beachy, Key West
vibe to the entire space is the white V-groove ceiling. The clients saw it at Anderson's home and
loved it enough to add it, although a bit late in the
planning process. The planks lowered the ceiling

height by ¾ inches, which necessitated adjusting
the cabinet order to accommodate it.
The project benefitted from the team effort and
involvement of the homeowners. Anderson credits her clients with selecting style details like the
hardware and the pendant lights above the bar and
dining table in addition to the uplifting palette.
" When they said they wanted an all-blue
kitchen, we considered talking them out of it, "
she said. " We were thinking white with a blue
island, but the clients stuck to their guns, and it
was the right choice. "
With some clever solutions of their own and by
listening closely to the clients' educated suggestions, a design team was able to update a buildergrade kitchen into a colorful space that takes advantage of the views and meets all their needs. 
