Tongue-and-groove paneling dresses up the cubby backs. The built-in bench is maple, and antiqued-mirror-front doors grace the X-details on the upper cabinets; the X-detail is also found in the kitchen island. Matte gray porcelain tile complements the colors used in the kitchen, and a new exterior door lets in light. The cabinet at the end of the run serves as a command center, with space for sorting mail and charging electronics. The side of that tall cabinet facing the door has space for keys.
