If you want to see the definition of a warm and welcoming kitchen, then this is the kitchen to look at. The knotty wood cabinets combined with the wood flooring and stone tile work just calls you in to enjoy the smell of down home food. With all the beauty you may not have even noticed that this is a wheelchair accessible kitchen. This beautiful wheelchair accessible kitchen was done by Sawhill Custom Kitchens & Design of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Victory Arch
The two most noticeable features are the roll under spaces below the sink and stove top. Each open space has pseudo decorative legs framing the sides. Controls are at the front of the stove top for easy reach. Above the stove top is a huge arch made up of the stone tile. Which gives a fireplace hearth look. Opposite this arch is the arching window above the sink. This connects the two sides of the kitchen while bringing in tons of natural light.

Island Illusion
At the center of the kitchen is an island and breakfast bar. The island has another sink and is held up mostly by a center mount which hides the plumbing and makes it a roll under surface. Four legs on the corners help disguise this. The breakfast bar is at a lower height and also roll under. Other accessible features include the built in microwave ans wall oven.
