Inspiration: Monterey Bay Beautiful Kitchen
Sunset Magazine

01_03.31.09_SunsetKitchen.jpgToday is the last day of our Kitchen and Bath month and we wanted to share with you this beautiful kitchen. We have never seen a circular kitchen island before. It not only looks great, but it also provides additional storage and countertop space. The unconventional circular wall opening to the living room adds more light and creates a wonderful focal point.

We love the details and tonality of the sapele (an exotic African hardwood) veneer cabinets. They are beautifully finished with black granite countertops. The kitchen island features a quartz countertop and a gas stove. Built-in stainless steel appliances add a modern quality to this kitchen with timber ceiling beams.

There is also a wine bar in this kitchen. Zwello aluminum tubes are backlit, creating a beautiful display of wine bottles. Kohler's Karbon articulating faucet adds a nice finishing touch to this gorgeous Monterey Bay kitchen.

To see the rest of the house, check out the full article from Sunset Magazine.

Johnny Grey (who used to design for Smallbone, but has been out on his own many years), does circular islands and all sorts of weird and exciting things in kitchens.

Does anyone know what type of backsplash that is?
