The house was purchased five years ago, and the homeowners gradually decided on a design for kitchen and dining area based on different styles they that had seen over time. The previous design for the area included low ceilings and a raised floor for the kitchen and dining area. The renovation opened the area with cathedral ceilings and large windows to allow sunlight to flow into the area.
One of the predominant elements used in the design is Unfading Green slate, quarried and supplied by Camara Slate Products of Fair Haven, VT. The slate was used for countertops throughout the kitchen and adjacent areas. A total of 60 square feet of slab material was specified for the counters, all measuring 1 1¿inches thick.
