The two page spread in House Beautiful talks about the details of the kitchen. The live edge countertop is marked as number 3 titled ‘Raw Wood’. Peacock said, “An island can look like a monolithic block unless you do something to make it interesting.” The spread can be seen below.

The kitchen featured a Live Edge slab of English Wych Elm custom crafted by Grothouse. The live edge countertop spills over the center island as an extension of the Silestone countertop.
Live Edge Countertops embrace nature with their unique organic shape and characteristics. Live edge refers to the bark side of a piece of lumber. Christopher Peacock used the Live Edge Countertop as a reminder of the garden outside.
The countertop measures to be approximately 40 inches x 45-3/4 inches. It includes a 12 inch Round Routed-in Bowl. The countertop is sealed with our exclusive Durata® Waterproof Permanent Finish in Matte sheen.
