This kitchen was remodeled with the intention to give the client more room and functionality. The brick you see is from the original kitchen to give it some character.
In this project, we had an excellent challenge. Built 80 years ago, it is the home the owner grew up in. The history of the kitchen was palpable. For this reason, great care was taken to preserve some of the elements that gave it personality. Cabinets, windows and trims were preserved, while adding all-new finishes to the floor and the countertops. All new lighting, expansion of the kitchen into another room, appliances, and new plumbing fixtures, transformed the kitchen into a large fully accessible and useful space while keeping to the style of the house itself. Some interesting details include the uncovering of an old brick flue in the wall, the installation of a soap stone sink, and the restoration of the original upper cabinets.
