Designing a New Kitchen for an Established Home

This beautiful home had almost everything it needed: space, character, and beauty. The only thing it lacked was a decent sized kitchen. This home had been added onto and renovated in the past, and the size of the kitchen never grew to fit the rest of the home. We turned their previously 200sf kitchen into a den and designed a new 350sf kitchen addition adjacent to the new den and existing sunken living room. We luckily had an empty corner of patio space in a convenient and central location of the home for our new kitchen addition. This space gave us the square footage we needed for a sizable kitchen while allowing us to seamlessly blend the old and the new around the exterior.

We designed the new kitchen with traditional and rustic features to compliment the existing features throughout the home such as natural stone floors and dark stained wood. We added stained, wood beams to the new kitchen ceiling to add interest and we added windows throughout for some needed natural light.

We also transformed the former kitchen into a cozy den with built-in seating and storage in order to create a warm space to sit and read.

This new kitchen has transformed the functionality of this home and truly brought it up to scale with the rest of the home. Let us know your favorite features of this kitchen in the comments!
