serve as a buffet,

As well, people tend to gather
around that island and help out, Itis

like you have to run away from the
kitchen just to talk to somone.

Big family kitchens are back and
thes ‘re eften open to the family
room. People want plenty of space
for gathering.

To get it, they're willing to
knock down wails, combing roams
and add on.

a spacious Kitchen is the fact iat it

family can be in here while they are
