Blue and gray kitchen

Chef John Currence of City Grocery in Oxford added professional polish to the kitchen design. A large chopping block containing a precut opening is set into the marble countertop under one window.

Blue appliances provide the ultimate in cooking convenience, and wooden cabinets feature a gray patina finish and glass-front doors. The marble countertop and backsplash complement these hues. An oversize island, complete with a cooktop and additional storage, encourages casual dining.
