AT LAST!! The kitchen this beautiful Victorian Home is complete! When we bought this beauty her kitchen was less than spectacular. It suffered from what many historic homes suffer: evolving design. It doesn’t sound bad, right? But it often is. As plumbing needs changed, as space use changed, as technology advanced, bits and pieces of this space were updated at a time. This space hadn’t been fully reimagined since it was built, and that leads to drab design, poor function, and outdated finishes.
We faced a multitude of challenges in the space. Three doors and two windows meant there was no way to accommodate typical kitchen cabinets. Layers of old flooring held in water that caused rot. Plaster was crumbling and falling off the walls. It was about as unappetizing a space as you can imagine. This gave us the chance to get really creative with our design, and the result is possibly our favorite room we’ve ever created!
We have produced the ultimate kitchen island. In one amazing space we have all your kitchen needs at your fingertips! Who needs a “work triangle” when all you need is within arms reach! Better still, we were able to keep this space looking completely period appropriate. When you look into the front door straight back to the kitchen, you see something very similar to what would have been seen 100 years ago.
Mixed together are the rich wood tones of historic cabinets, the natural patterns of stone, aged but restored wood floors and the perfect earthy paint colors. Peek inside the expansive pantry where we’ve once again thought about what you use and how you use it, pairing a full size refrigerator next to the microwave, but both out of view of the main room.
We want to thank AJmadison.com who made the normally painful appliance buying experience an absolute BREEZE. We were able to order all our appliance online, selecting from their HUGE in stock inventory, and had our appliances in hand in less than three weeks. The customer service was absolutely top tier, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone appliance shopping.
We feel like we have created the most amazingly functional and aesthetically pleasing space imaginable. It was a joy to think outside the box on this kitchen design, and breathe new life into a space that has been the center of a home for more than a century!
