Our clients had lovingly cared for their home for 16 years. In this small home, space was at a premium and the couple wanted to update this poorly functioning kitchen to match the rest of their Arts & Crafts style home.
Key requirements of this kitchen remodel design included:
- Improved lighting
- Better traffic pattern
- More storage
- Incorporating the Pewabic tile the clients loved
IMPROVED LIGHTING
A new lighting plan for the kitchen included:
- Three pendants over the new island
- Pendant lighting over the sink
- Recessed lights throughout
- Under cabinet lighting
BETTER TRAFFIC PATTERN
The refrigerator was moved from the main walkway to a perimeter wall. Its new location creates one point in the now smaller working triangle.
Prep space was previously scarce and the new island allows two to work in the kitchen without one getting trapped in the corner.
MORE STORAGE
A new island supplies storage that was non-existent before and it creates a place for people to sit and connect.
Although we replaced a slider with a door, we added a pantry cabinet which was also new storage the kitchen did not previously have.
Bulkheads were removed allowing cabinets to extend to the ceiling.
INCORPORATING PEWABIC TILE
Pewabic tile is handcrafted stoneware clay tile that is made in Detroit with a history dating back to 1903. Our clients fell in love with this tile years ago and used it on the landing of their staircase and wanted to incorporate it into the kitchen design.
We decided to let this gorgeous tile take center stage by creating an eye-catching backsplash. The flooring also incorporates details that connect back to the Pewabic tiles used on the walls.
OVERALL RESULTS
The remodeled kitchen has improved the feel of the whole first floor. A clear pathway runs from the living room through the kitchen and from the kitchen into the dining room. A new island supplies much-needed storage and provides a place for people to eat casual meals and hang out. The new lighting plan brightened not only the kitchen, but also the adjacent rooms. Now, with the kitchen completed, the whole house has a cohesive Arts & Crafts aesthetic – Mission Accomplished!
“The kitchen design is everything we hoped it would be. It’s a reflection of our tastes – it’s us. Our designer really understood what we liked and how to make the kitchen fit with the look of the rest of the house.”
“What do we love? Lighting, lighting, lighting! The Pewabic backsplash! The storage additions. The overall look – it’s new, but it looks & feels like it could have been original to the house.”
– Homeowner

The upper level, steel grated stairs, have suspension wire railing, and are made of salvaged materials from the trade. This upper level bedroom will eventually be a children's playroom, but for the time being they are too little for this location. Industrial Loft Home, Seattle, WA. Belltown Design.

This gorgeous wide plank antique Oak is our most requested floor! With dramatic widths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (14 inches in some cases), you can easily bring an old-world charm into your home. This product comes to you completely pre-finished and ready to install.
We start by hand sanding the surface, beveling the edges ever so slightly, and being careful to preserve the historical integrity of the planks. Typically, about 80% of your flooring will be "Smooth" with the remaining 20% having a slight texture from the original saw kerfs. This material will also have nail holes, knots, and checks which only adds to the unique character.
Next, we apply Waterlox, a tung oil based sealant with or without stain added. Finally, 3 coats of Vermont Polywhey finish are added with a hand buffing between coats. The result is a luxurious satiny finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!
