They loved their home\u2019s densely wooded location with its treehouse-like views, but its circa 1978 kitchen with dark wood cabinets, sloping floors covered in uneven terracotta tiles and solid surface counters were long-since outdated. Plus, an imposing ventilation hood and space-dominating indoor grill made the island a cumbersome, awkward workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slack\u2019s first task was to replace the grill with a custom cutting board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a short-term fix that gave them more usable counter space,\u201d says the owner of Fox Interiors in Minneapolis. \u201cBut long-term they wanted to transform the cold, dated kitchen into a warm, welcoming and functional environment for cooking, eating and working from home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195009 size-full lazyload\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195009 size-full lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack-600x418.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack-1170x815.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130807\/14-Colleen-Slack-585x408.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b02fa105f551c7d83f11c59bf5928ec\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">FLOATING SHELVES<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve as display for travel mementos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-31a2b962ad3547da159b6e4ce2eb1808\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">RAISED ISLAND BAR<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Adds interest and gives the island a unique look<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9098417b47da24659b8dc4a06dd49df1\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">BOOK-MATCHED WALNUT CABINETRY<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Grain flows perfectly from panel to panel and from drawer to drawer<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast-forward a couple of years and the homeowners were ready to embark on their long-awaited complete kitchen renovation.

As well, she widened the opening to the adjacent den, which brought in more light and improved circulation throughout the spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warm tones for the kitchen were addressed via custom walnut cabinetry and floating shelves from Steven Cabinets; Coco Cohiba granite countertops; greige ceramic backsplash tiles from Fireclay Tile; 24&#8243;x24&#8243; gray floor tiles from Fioranese Ceramica, and an accent wall sheathed in Schumacher wallpaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195008 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"886\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195008 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack-1170x864.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130758\/13-Colleen-Slack-585x432.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-d0776d7f2f58f917f8825475a8d36016\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">A \u2018drop-zone\u2019 area at one end of the island provides a convenient place to set a sheet of cookies freshly baked in the built-in wall ovens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195007 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"886\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195007 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack-1170x864.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130748\/12-Colleen-Slack-585x432.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-63fcbf9b93e5e2bfd52008cf4a72460e\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">The interior rollouts are faced with walnut so they match the cabinetry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe cabinetry in this kitchen is stunning,\u201d says the designer. \u201cWe did amazing book-matched walnut where the grain flows perfectly from panel to panel and from drawer to drawer.

Recessed LED lights beneath the shelves and Cedar &amp; Moss spotlight sconces on the wall illuminate their treasures and cast a warm glow on the handmade tile backsplash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195006 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1428\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195006 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack-504x600.jpg 504w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack-1008x1200.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack-768x914.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack-1170x1392.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130737\/07-Colleen-Slack-585x696.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-8e0cc09667dd849790da4327b904579b\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">In addition to providing casual seating, the banquette also serves as a work-from-home \u2018office\u2019 where the homeowners can sit with their laptops and enjoy the verdant, treehouse-like view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biophilic benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its brown and black tones, the granite countertops pair beautifully with the walnut cabinetry and unite the project\u2019s overall color palette.

This Coco Cohiba has more quiet movement, which provides interest without overpowering other design elements.

As well, items cooled in the Sub-Zero refrigerator are within easy reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is also home to a 48&#8243; Wolf cooktop, ventilated with a remote-controlled ceiling-mounted Wolf hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe homeowners were more than happy to get rid of the much-hated giant vent hood, nicknamed \u2018the head basher\u2019 because it was a point of pain every time they cooked,\u201d she remarks, in reference to the original 36&#8243;x90&#8243; double vent hood above the island. \u201cOn the day of its demolition, they even joked about skipping work to swing the sledgehammer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReplacing the original hood with a sleek, ceiling-mounted model was a key design move since it opened up the kitchen, allowing the design to take center stage,\u201d she continues. \u201cIt also created better sight lines through the space so the homeowners can actually enjoy the view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195004 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195004 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05130713\/05-Colleen-Slack-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-488dee6a1bb4dbdfc80e867d55f01931\" style=\"color:#5394a4\">The homeowners were more than happy to get rid of the much-hated \u2018head-basher\u2019 double vent hood above the island. Replacing it with a ceiling-mounted model opens up the kitchen and creates better sight lines so they can enjoy the view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialized storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Improved storage was critical to the design as well. As such, Slack included wide drawers below the island cooktop for pots and pans. Pullouts on either side keep spices and oils close at hand. Pantry rollouts on the perimeter wall were designed for specific pantry items with height spacing predetermined for canned goods versus cereal boxes versus jars of nuts, etc. Additionally, a bread drawer, corner drawer unit and cookie sheet\/cutting board pullouts are positioned strategically for their point of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slack also addressed storage needs for the couple\u2019s two rescue dogs by including adjustable-height rollouts that can accommodate large food containers in the sideboard located next to the banquette. In addition to providing casual seating, the banquette also serves as a work-from-home \u2018office\u2019 where her clients can sit with their laptops and enjoy the verdant, treehouse-like view. Sillite outlets, which are also used on the island, are integrated into end panels to blend into the walnut. Schumacher wallpaper, which sheaths an entire wall, brings in texture and pattern to the quiet palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis entire section of the kitchen was previously underutilized,\u201d the designer relates. \u201cBut now it\u2019s a very functional, cozy area with a strong connection to adjacent rooms and the outdoors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
