The kitchen layout from this 2005 spec.
house is very similar to the 2004 kitchen.  
The layout of the house is the same except
this house has a basement which makes
for a smaller hall bath.  Even though the
layout of the kitchens are very similar the
styling concepts are very different.
This kitchen style is strictly Arts
and Crafts where as the 2004
kitchen was more country. The
cabinets exterior is Quarter
Saw White Oak with heavy
flake  also know as, Tiger Oak.
Arts And Crafts style is strictly about simplicity which shows
in the very simple lines of these cabinets.  Even though it
looks very simple, it is very difficult to achieve. The cabinet
above the dishwasher has a total of 24 pieces used in its
construction to achieve this simple look. I've carried the
straight lines of the style to the custom-made range hood
which was also made by my company.
The vanity in the master bath is extremely contemporary and of a design
that you would expect to see in a  California beach home or a loft in New
York. The hall bath vanity is an antique style Cherry chest of drawers. The
four top drawer fronts are actually two doors. The hardwood floors are
solid bamboo which blend extremely well with the quarter saw White Oak.
The galvanized pans
under the kitchen
sink and dishwasher
are a new feature
that we are
designing into all of
our kitchens now.  
Because of the
extensive use of
hardwood floors in
modern homes, it is
almost a necessity in
case of overflows.
I am also designing ceramic tile drains into the floor under the
refrigerator and washing machine as a precaution against water
damage. If you've ever had to replace a hardwood floor from water
damage, you will appreciate such innovative features.
