The Art of Living
Mike can often be found in the connecting kitchen that, in addition to the floorto-ceiling windows, also benefits from a carefully placed skylight. The Bianco Carrara extra select marble countertops are paired with modern upper cabinets and more traditional Shaker lower cabinets. Arne Jacobsen Series 7 counter stools provide both seating and color. Mike, who is the primary chef in the house, says he loves to cook in the light-filled deep room, especially for his children and their friends.
A Swarovski crystal chandelier hangs above the nearby dining room table that seats 10. Mike says visiting kids and adults alike gather in this space that is welcoming, functional and far from decorous.“ I always say my wife would much prefer to put the kids to bed rather than put on a formal dress— this area reflects the way we want to live and entertain.”
Reba muses,“ Reflecting on the house, I often find myself in the kitchen / dining and family room that features the large floor-to-ceiling windows. I love this room; it is the heart of the home with all the light and activity.”
