Nestled in the heart of St. Louis’ historic Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood, this 1911 Craftsman-style home recently received a thoughtful kitchen renovation that honors its heritage while embracing modern functionality.

The original home boasts intricate woodwork, which inspired the warm wood-stained cabinetry. The new cabinets beautifully coordinate with the home’s historic charm, offering an updated look that still feels rooted in the past.

Zellige tile, with its handmade texture and slight imperfections, lines the backsplash, adding depth and character that blend effortlessly with the craftsmanship of the home. Art deco inlay tiles bring in a touch of vintage charm, tying the space together with an elegant nod to early 20th-century design.

Functionality meets form in the kitchen’s layout: drawers and pull-outs enhance organization, while a raised oven simplifies cooking and food transfer. A hidden appliance garage and mixer riser keep countertops clean without sacrificing accessibility.

The result is a kitchen that doesn’t just serve today’s needs—it tells a story, preserving the soul of the home while bringing it beautifully into the present.
