San Rafael Villa Kitchen
The villa kitchen provides the perfect setting. The large window over the sink looks out to a deck dining area. Stainless steel counter tops are easy to care for. Warm and cool are combined by setting off the white laminate with inset stainless steel detailed cabinetry with a deep red wall, wood accessories and red strip sisal rug. Open shelves for often-used dishware allow for convenience as well as a sense of rhythm and repetition, one of Jane's favorite motifs. The result is a kitchen that imbues the food -- and the kitchen conversation -- with lively energy.
