Working in the kitchen doesn’t isolate anyone. Now, guests can sit and chat with the cook.

Jim’s favorite area in the home: his office. “My study is hands down the best room in the house,” he says. Jan’s favorite is the open entryway and living/dining/kitchen combination. Both Jim and Jan love cooking and entertaining. Because of the open design, everything is adjacent to the kitchen. Whoever is working in the kitchen is not isolated from the rest of the family or guests. “Two homes ago, our kitchen was a cave. People couldn’t join you,” Jim said. Now their company can sit down in the great room or they can sit down on a side of the kitchen island and all of them can have a conversation. They are happy in the home, and most of it is done. However, a few things need attention. “Home is an ongoing project. There are still things to work on,” Jim says. The next project is upstairs: the addition of one more built-in by Richards and Lees. The other project is the yard. “Even though we both like playing in the yard, there’s too much lawn. We love iris. We will get rid of the extra lawn; as the iris multiply, it will shrink the lawn,” Jim says.
