Schager had a wall removed between the kitchen and dining room, creating space for a large island. She also changed the position of the refrigerator and microwave oven, and introduced a new double oven and a spacious pantry. “The kitchen features Holiday Kitchen cabinetry provided by Kitchen Design Partners, and two different Cambria countertops. The perimeter countertop resembles marble, while the island top has a more lively granite look, with a touch of blue to complement the cabinetry.” Other features include an ocean-blue herringbone glass mosaic backsplash.
