The refrigerator is notched into a wall full of storage compartments. Display shelves appear to float in front of a white-painted wall, which provides an effective backdrop for a collection of pitchers and bowls. Below the refrigerator are more storage niches.

Elegant focal points
"I love to see through things," says Davis. His collection of clear bottles and vases in a pleasing variety of shapes and heights reinforces the point and underscores one of the goals of the remodel, which was to open up views.
Key elements of the remodel
The changes are mostly on the surface, but have big impact.
Light-reflecting flat white paint covers old paneling.
Floor-to-ceiling French doors open an entire wall to the small deck.
Wood table and benches mixed with metal dining chairs create a relaxed look.
Vases and other art objects provide elegant focal points.
Marble backsplash and wood display shelf make the kitchen handsome enough to entertain in.
Breakfast bay acts as a daylight-catcher that brightens the rest of the kitchen.
