Curves are not only good Feng Shui, they are a theme that plays throughout this renovated kitchen.
Not only is the center island a circle, all the ends of the counters are curved so there are no corners to jab you.
There's the circle above the lights that are also circles, and the circles that decorate the ceiling. Look at the three square openings in the wall - see the circles inside them?
How about this curve - look at the backsplash on the wall, and note that the same curve extends through the cabinets in the line between solid wood and glass.
p.s. - this kitchen and it;s surrounding house, offered for $725,000 in St Petersburg, went under contract last weekend. It comes with a pool, a waterfront location, and a dock where you can gaze out into Tampa Bay at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
Sharon, I did not know that about curves. Thanks for sharing.
Shirley - it makes sense when you think about it - bumping into square corners isn't fun! And with a round table, nobody's the head - you're all just sitting around it.
Interesting. Have they carried other Feng Shui principles through the house?
Very interesting design elements. A circular table has about 20% less area than a square, but I think it brings the people around it more together in addition to the Feng Shui benefits.
Sharon - I love the designa dn colors of this kitchen. Would love to see the rest of the house. Congratulations - hope things proceed smoothly.
Jeff
Debbie - yes, they have. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, though. They've never mentioned Feng Shui.
John - it's also easier to accomodate an uneven number of people at a round table - 4,5,6,7 etc.
Jeff - you can see more photos here.
Hi Sharon,
What a beautiful home! Nice that it went under Contract too.
Hal - It IS beautiful. The owner is an architect and did all the design work himself.
Sharon a really interesting design for sure. Sound like a great location as well :)
Bill - if I could clone this kitchen and put it in my house, I would.
Sharon, Would love to see this curvaceous luscious kitchen and the rest of the house. Thanks for sharing. You must have very happy buyers!
Sharon, awesome kitchen, no getting caught in the corner in this home.
Margaret - here are some more photos for you.
Duane - I'd never thought of that. Good observation.
Sharon, Beautiful photo gallery. Love your last two night time photos, "catching snook' and the full moon. Just beautiful. I want this home...but not in Florida. :)
Sharon~I am a Kitchen-addict...I love seeing different kitchens and following the "trends." This one is a beauty...thanks for sharing and congrats the sale!
LaShawn - thanks for the comment. It's always great when a kitchen can be gorgeous and welcoming at the same time.
What an intersting house, love the pool and views of the bay. Interior is stunning as well. Hope the sellers are taking on another project.
