Peninsula end no visible plugs or false doors for a clean look
Transitional Kitchen, San Francisco
David Woo Designs
The end of the peninsula was particularly challenging. The cabinet manufacturer originally provided two false doors to accommodate the step down from the kitchen to the family room. However, we didn't want the confusing look this gave and opted for a one piece slab panel custom made with solid wood edges and a cherry laminated MDF core. This ensures the large panel will not warp. This clean finish to the end of the peninsula is a modern look. The flooring is solid red oak hardwood and beautifully contrasts the cherry cabinets.
Unseen to the eye is the plug strip with 6 outlets that runs the entire end of the peninsula. The black quartz counter was extended past the end of the peninsula by 1 3/4" and completely conceals the plug strip. There are 6 plugs at the end of the peninsula, exceeding code requirements and none disturb the clean modern look.
