We remodeled the kitchen of our 130 year old Victorian home in Napa, CA. My goal was to keep the Victorian style, but with a modern twist. We used encaustic cement tiles on the floor, inexpensive basic, standard white subway tile from Home Depot, white Carrara marble counters & of course the piece-de-resistance - the LaCornue stove. Did the kitchen design & plan submittal myself. Husband & I did the general contracting & hired out trades to do all the work. 5 months later we have the kitchen of our dreams. Check it out:
