Designer: Tammi Morgan
Design Goal: To improve the flow of the kitchen, making it more family-friendly, with space for eating at an island.
Challenges: Reconfiguring the entire first floor and bumping out the back of the house eight feet for eat-in space and a desk.
The Result: This vintage-style kitchen in a young family’s beloved home maintains remnants of the past while being updated with modern amenities. Family heirlooms are displayed in open cabinets, reused corner cabinets flank a banquette area, and a wood valance was made to frame a chalkboard. The homeowner even kept the essence of the former color palette, which was more olive than the new, fresher feel of sage, and personally designed and built the ventilation hood. Subtle details such as quarter-sawn oak floors and crackled Italian accent tiles add character, while a walnut island top and Emperador marble countertops bestow beauty. A walk-in pantry and beverage station behind the island allow access to food without getting into the cook’s space.
