Our focus was to update their space while retaining its history, by blending new elements with their traditional style. We opened the kitchen to the sitting room by replacing a wall between them with a penninsula. White-painted, Shaker-style cabinetry was installed with a custom wood hood over the range and integrated custom cabinet panels on the appliances. We included many interior conveniences for storage and function in the cabinetry. We removed a small window and door to the patio and installed large French doors to create a seamless feel between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. PROJECT FEATURES: • Beautiful and functional kitchen design and finishes inspired by the historical aesthetic of the home. • A honed Calcutta marble countertop and full marble-slab backsplash with traditional farm sink. • Custom matched-to-original hardwood floors and wood ceiling beams with tongue-and-groove paneling. homeanddesign.com • NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2013 131 Remodeling_Ads.indd 131 10/11/13 3:18 PM
