HGTV :: Kitchen Island Inspires Design

It was exciting to see Kerri Kanter, one of our homeowners’ kitchens highlighted on HGTV.  She speaks about wanting to have an oversized island perfect for enteraining and keeping the functionality of the kitchen with unexpected details.  Everything about the home that the Kanters dreamed about and wanted to incoporate into the home was so purposeful.  They identified the Acadia plan by Homes by Dickerson and then incorporated and made changes based on their personal taste and how they will be living in the home.  They did a great job of incorporating lots of natural light coming into the home and maximizing the views.
