The kitchen is large—about 18x24 feet, not including a bay window bump-out—but very practical. “It was [architectural designer] Louise Brooks’s idea to have two islands, and it works really well,” Serena says. The kitchen is organized into work zones to minimize steps for tasks such as food prep, cooking, and cleanup, she explains.
Countertops are thick, honed marble, and a black-metal custom hood trimmed with nickel bands hangs above the range. For the range backsplash, Serena used a simple pressed-tin ceiling panel attached to the wall.
