The kitchen is the center of the home, but it hasn’t always been that way. The first human dwellings were arranged around the warmth of the hearth; the place everyone wanted to be close to. As humankind advanced, however, the kitchen became solely an area reserved for the preparation of food, with meals taken in formal dining rooms. So it has been that, for hundreds of years, even the humblest of abodes featured a “formal” dinning room.
Now, in the early part of the twenty-first century, the advent of “loft” living spaces and open floor plans have returned the kitchen to its rightful place in the center of family life. It’s a place for both cooking and enjoying meals. The center of any dinner or cocktail party, and a great way to watch a game without having to leave the room for snack. By turns home office, study hall, and family conference room, a great kitchen is the most popular space in a great home. The place everyone, once again, wants to be close to. At Vision, building dream kitchens for our customers is our specialty. Here are some of the dreams we’ve brought to life for our clients.
