He also helped us make sure everything was to NKBA guidelines. Originally we were trying to get our kitchen sink in front of a window and also have our stove and hood on that same wall. The inches just weren’t there. In our plans, our sink would have been way too close to the stove. Michael was able to come up with a couple of different variations to show us what would work within the guidelines. Jon and I were both strongly opposed to a corner sink. We just didn’t love the look of it. I have always been used to having my sink in front of a window, but in this kitchen that would only work if we moved the stove. I already had this big stove/hood focal point vision in my head which meant I wasn’t moving it. Don’t worry, I had Michael give me a mockup of the stove elsewhere to just be certain that I was opposed to it and I still was. In order to have the sink away from the stove, it had to be on a plain old wall. We were able to dress it up a bit with glass front doors and I can honestly say it’s been great. The window is right next to me so it doesn’t feel weird. The wall to the right of the stove is pretty similar to the wall with the sink. The only difference is that there are no appliances here so we have a lot of storage in those lower cabinets. We opened up the doorway that used to be here and made it a bit larger and removed the door. It’s now a great entrance to our dining room. To the right of that doorway we have a beverage center! It’s amazing! The doors open and our coffee maker is in there with mugs, and our flavored syrups, sugar, honey, etc.
With a closed kitchen, the idea was that diners could trust the experts to do what they do best — they needn’t be involved. Now, however, diners have more expertise than ever, and for many of them, flaunting it is the point of eating out. And often, the whole idea of performance goes both ways: As the chefs perform their work, diners make a point of showing their interest and appreciation, ensuring that their knowledge is seen.
