Updated 1891 Kitchen
Kitchen Design : Episode KDE-1109 -- More Projects »
Bruce Mays wanted to update the small kitchen in his 1891 city-side home to be more open, functional and inviting for his family. He turned to architect David Eisen, who worked within the home’s original footprint to create a jewel of a kitchen in which every inch is carefully thought out and everything has multiple functions. Host Joan Kohn visits the lovely result.
- Walls were knocked down to open the kitchen up to the front hall and dining room.
- At the end of the galley kitchen is a light-filled atrium used for the dining table. The table was designed by Eisen, who specified a non-static flooring material. The result is sculptural, comfortable and durable.
- The painted cabinetry combines the owners' two favorite colors. The top cabinets, many with textured glass panels for a lighter look, are painted a soft creamy yellow. Lower cabinets are painted green with lots of blue in it.
- The black granite counter has an undermount sink for easy cleanup.
- The appliances and oversized cabinet hardware are brushed chrome.
- The flooring is richly stained Brazilian cherry.
- Shelves across windows in the atrium provide shade as well as display and storage for bowls and baskets.
