  Toy Arnett, owner of Tannenheim and Bennie Barnes, Mayor of Century have coffee in the kitchen.

  The kitchen is in the rear of the family room.

  The kitchen interior was designed by Dolly Berthelot and custom built to provide additional work space while keeping water views and a style compatible with the original floor plan. Simple custom wood cabinets in the Shaker style use painted pine fronts that simulate the antique beveled heart pine on the porch and upstairs ceiling and in some kitchen area walls.
• 
  The stair-step kitchen cabinets act as a room divider and provide a view through to the living area.

  After 13 years of wrestling with a problem kitchen, a late night Eureka led to an entire transformation. The old pine glass-front cupboards had originally flanked the dining entry to the kitchen. The cabinets blocked views and forced foot traffic right through the work area. The couple wanted to keep these antique built-ins (which Ron had refinished), but needed more counter space. Suddenly Dolly realized those two cabinets could shift over to the only solid dining area wall, be pushed together, and solve several problems. The rest was easy.
• 
  New glass-front kitchen cabinets were designed for easy access from both kitchen and dining areas. This feature benefits the homeowners every day.

  The door to the kitchen and basement stairs was a window to the outside before the Larcoms added this room in 1947. When the Berthelots purchased 600 Bayou, this room was in shambles, "decorated" with many pieces of mismatched junk paneling and pipes for laundry, and used for storage. After two complete renovations, it's a favorite for relaxing and TV viewing. Open pine rafters, stained dark, offer interest and an ideal place to hang a basket collection. Ron refinished and adapted a damaged antique oak Hoosier cabinet, which holds more collectibles.
