The island top is 2-inch-thick walnut with a marine-grade oil finish. “I love to incorporate wood because it warms up a room,” designer Anthony Passanante says. “When you sit at the island, you put your arms down and get the warmth of wood rather than the coldness of stone.” The doorway between the kitchen and dining room (foreground) was widened significantly for a more open feel.

Removing the dining room wall and rotating the island allowed for optimum seating and natural flow in the open floor plan. “Achieving symmetry is always a top priority, so I made sure the range hood, sink and island pendants were on a continuous plane,” designer Kara Vacca says. Cabinets were refinished in “Kendall Charcoal” by Benjamin Moore. Concrete countertops—light gray on the island and a walnut-look along the perimeter—work in the classic neutral scheme.
