Without changing its footprint, we reconfigured this 1916 Bungalow kitchen for greater convenience and connection to the rest of the house, while adding storage, seating, and period character.
Custom built-ins were key to maximizing both space and style, and include an inglenook with adjacent wine rack for entertaining, buffet for storage, and a small bookcase for cookbooks hidden under the inglenook arm.
An elongated stretch of cherry cabinetry with flat panel fronts and a smooth counter with under-mount sink contribute to a more expansive impression. And the new color palette and finishes – cherry wood, earth-toned marmoleum, and hand-made tile – not only lend authenticity to the kitchen’s genre but harmonize with the existing dining room.
