Room We Love: Sunny Modern Kitchen in Kansas

Subashini Nadarajah, a creative director, built her own home in Westwood, Kansas. The 2,400-square-foot home, which she shares with her dog Bina, features a sunny eating and dining space, which Nadarajah describes as the "heart of the house."

"I'm a foodie, so this kitchen [holds] a lot of fun dinner parties," Nadarajah says. The island is a deeper shade of birch.

The countertop is Living Stone, and all appliances are Jenn-Air.

Throughout the house, Java Coffee and Steely Gray paint from Sherwin-Williams make appearances. Nadarajah describes her style as a cross between midcentury modern and Asian Zen culture. The dining room off the kitchen features a Crate and Barrel dining table, a rug from Dwell Studio, and Eames chairs and a George Nelson pendant light, both from Herman Miller. A drift wood sculpture from Cambodia sits in the corner.
