1. Discreet Work Area
The Wolf cooktop and Kohler sink are grouped along a perimeter wall to put the focus on the table. Instead of an eye-catching backsplash, Edwards chose Porcelanosa's Glass Blanco tile, which almost disappears.
2. Modern Breakfront
Cabinets, composed into a strong geometric form, hide an appliance garage and a TV. Counters made of Samsung's Radianz quartz neatly wrap the lower portion and are stainresistant and easy to clean.
3. Versatile Island
The island — with a marble top at the right height for baking — turns into a table, and the change in level helps break down the bulk. Bonaldo's Tip Toe chairs are fully upholstered — even the legs.
4. Fast Food
Miele's speed oven (top) can roast a turkey in an hour. "Of all the bells and whistles you can get in a kitchen, this is the one I'd recommend to every one," says Edwards. She paired it with Wolf's E series 30-inch convection wall oven.
5. Sheen and Texture
A glossy finish on the wood panels that mask the refrigerator, the freezer, and a pullout pantry bounces light back into the room. Walls in white Diamond 350 paint by Glidden Professional are wipeable.
