Armed with years of hands-on experience gained from working with top kitchen professionals , Jackie tapped into all that she ’ d learned over the years to design her own dream kitchen , inspired by her passion for cooking and the incredible surroundings . The kitchen is the home ’ s control central , the room where she begins and ends her days with her family and three dogs . These days , more often than not , it has taken on an additional role as her home office . As with every room in the house , this room is designed for comfort , function and well-being . Conceived from a love of modern open spaces with nature-inspired sensibilities , the design and layout of this dream kitchen offers a seamless transition from the stunning ever-changing vistas of the natural surroundings to the light and airy interiors of the home . The kitchen has a large main island that features a central double-bowl stainless steel sink and pulldown faucet with plenty of prep surface on either side . A second island offers the perfect spot to serve appetizers and cocktails when entertaining or for wrapping birthday or Christmas gifts . Then there is the beverage centre that includes a sink , small 18-inch dishwasher and a 75 bottle wine fridge . For better functionality , full extension pot and dinnerware drawers are designed with soft-close hardware throughout . Jackie wanted a timeless culinary-style design for her kitchen , one with clean lines that would be easy to maintain and elevate the enjoyment of cooking , dining and entertaining in the kitchen . She splurged on custom white flat-panel cabinetry , white quartz countertops , oak hardwood floors with a durable titanium finish , high performance stainless steel appliances and a stunning marble mosaic backsplash wall . “ By splurging on the primary elements of your kitchen design ,” shares Jackie , “ you create the perfect backdrop for less expensive decorative elements that can be easily changed as the seasons or trends change . When space is tight , use a spare closet like I did for a pantry .”
