Charming Craftsman Kitchen

Refreshed 1912 Bungalow

We made it a priority to preserve the craftsman style, which is what originally made this type of home so popular in the early 1900s. This entailed restoring the old and matching the new with the existing style. Although the scope of this project involved several rooms, we’ll pull our focus to the kitchen. There are different ways to spot an Arts and Crafts home, but one prominent feature is an airy, light-filled room that encourages interaction with the outdoors. 

A Touch of Nature: Design Elements

The white cabinets give a fresh, inviting look. Paired with the wall paint color, Robin’s Egg Blue, there is an added sense of peacefulness. Overall, a calming environment in which to prepare a home-cooked meal for the family. Countertop materials are engineered quartz-Caesarstone Raw Concrete which gives a touch of subtle grey giving an extra bit of warmth and organic energy.

Pairing Old with the New

The kitchen table was hand made by one of the client’s family members. We built a built-in bench to work with this table. This is also the original floor, and we added new birds-eye maple to match the existing. 

Efficient Work Triangle

We moved the refrigerator to the other side of the room to create a more efficient work triangle. We added a larger window above the sink to let more light in and give a better view when standing at the sink. There is also now a straight shot to the outside!
