ARTIST'S
BOOMERANG
KITCHEN
FLIES
TRUE
| When this painter wanted to remodel her
home, the one thing she most wanted was to open up the kitchen to views
of the lake and the greenery of their site. Nestled in the woods, on the
north side of their home, it could at times be a bit light-starved. Accentuating
that feeling was the laundry room on the back wall which blocked the morning
sun from entering the kitchen. (As she put it, too often, she felt like
having breakfast in the laundry!) Plus, there were wall cabinets hanging
in her face which blocked her view of glorious lakeshore sunsets!
Landon drew upon his experience in SE Alaska, having designed and fabricated over 20 projects in Juneau and Ketchikan; his clients wanted lots of wall space on which they could display art -- their "view" during the long winter nights. He proposed eliminating all the wall cabinets, grouping the refrigerator, ovens and pantries on the east wall, and featuring one of the artist's paintings on a "gallery wall" in the center of the space. |
