Reed didn't need to make any structural changes to her new home. "The house was already pretty darn cute," she says. The only changes she made were simple aesthetic alterations. She replaced the shelf over the sink with this open-shelf, galvanized unit and added her own personal touch to the kitchen backsplash. When she moved in, the backsplash had been changed to a modern granite, which she felt did not fit her aesthetic. Instead of removing the granite, Reed covered it with linen.
imagine this with a door off to the far right side leading to a mud-boot room. "real" kitchen on the far side of the left wall. Prep sink, d/w along the right wall. Serving wares stored behind the viewer, dining to the left past the kitchen
Cabinet too low? This seems to have a granite (or maybe pretty wood?) riser under the countertop, which brings the counter surface up a good two inches.
love the galvanized shelf unit over the counter, but would not have found the granite a problem. My grandparents had marble counters+back splashes where it wasn't mosaic tile
Like this vignette going into butler's pantry: love the painting (on tin maybe) of landscape above sink, shelves above, and marble dough board dressing up Formica counter
