Retro Kitchen

This kitchen remodel in a 1913 Craftsman home in Portland's Ladds Addition neighborhood restored a problematic 70s kitchen to its historic, early-century roots. Designed by Kevin Fischer of Alice Designs and Charlotte Cooney of Domestic Arts, the project was guided by the client's passion for period architecture and strong aesthetic sensibility.

The kitchen's surface-mounted light fixtures came from School House Electric with shades from Rejuvenation. The light fixture in the butler's pantry also came from School House, and its vintage shade was found on the Internet from a dealer in Minnesota. The floor is a classic checkerboard...

The wood butcher block to the left is maple, treated with a food grade finish. The darker wood is a laminate with an aluminum edge band – a very affordable and period-correct option for this kitchen. - Mitchell Snyder Photography

The round vent above the stove, with its decorative grate, is a range hood vent. An inline fan inside the wall vents to the exterior, and works as well as an overhead vent would.

This display wall provides an area for the clients to showcase their heirloom plates. All throughout the kitchen you can find the bead board detail – a classic detail from kitchens of that era. The horizontal orientation of the bead board is unusual, but not historically unprecedented. - Mitchell...

The mudroom's cabinetry uses the void of an old window for shelving and storage, but without changing the look of the outside of the house. The back door is original, revamped and re-weatherized by our team. - Mitchell Snyder Photography

The little bathroom was flipped to accommodate the remodel design, but kept the same basic footprint. The bead board from the kitchen is pulled into the bathroom, and is used as a backdrop for a selection of the clients' art. - Mitchell Snyder Photography
