New built-in cabinets in the dining room combine linen storage below and a serving surface above. The height of the cabinets was designed to maintain views from the table to the backyard.

Two different types of cabinets were used to create an eclectic look. The painted cabinets lighten up the room and provide a nice contrast to the stained wood island.
