Early 1940's Kitchen Renovation

The original kitchen lacked adequate countertop area, storage, light and aesthetic interest. Cabinets had been hung over a window in an effort to increase storage. The traffic pattern through the entire house ran between refrigerator and the main work area. These homeowners wanted efficiency and yet wanted to keep the country charm of their home.

The kitchen, now, incorporates state-of-the-art appliances, provides highly functional work areas with plenty of storage and maintains a light, open look that integrates the kitchen with the early 1940’s farmhouse feel of the rest of the house.

French Country interior design is further enhanced with barn beam supports, a custom heart pine table and a beadboard finish to the banquette seating, peninsula and the back of the island. Mixed finishes, stacked cabinet heights, glass doors and open cabinets give rhythm and interest to the plan. Warm, rich finishes and curved cabinet doorframes and valances speak French styling.
