“I took that whole space and made it a large kitchen. The new addition is almost completely open. I want to be with my family, but I want to have spaces where people can go off and be on their own,” said the interior designer.
 

The kitchen features a 12-foot-long, 5-foot-wide marble island with five camel brown leather stools. Paneling conceals the Jenn-Air refrigerator. Amish-made maple cabinets came from Precision Cabinetry in Sugar Creek, Ohio. Mayhaus favors blues, greens and earth tones.
 

“I do like an English European look with marble and traditional cabinetry,” she said, adding that the metal-trimmed, hutch style cabinets were created in England by Armac Martin.
 

The kitchen faces a living room with a built-in electric fireplace that heats the space, which has a flat screen television, couches and chairs.

“Along that living room we created a new powder room with a floating sink,” Mayhaus said.
 

Off of the living room is a large mudroom that can be closed off with pocket doors."
