The homeowner, an avid baker and cook, was eager to update her

mid-19th century kitchen

to improve the organization and functionality but didn’t want to compromise the home’s historic roots. By keeping what was working and being thoughtful about targeted organization, she has expanded her storage capacity and enlarged the work zone.

Enlarging the

island

was a must and it was easily accomplished in this roomy kitchen. The island, in contrasting Cadet Grey, is topped with a

butcher block

and the cabinets are packed with ultra-convenient accessories and storage. By removing 2 closets on either end of the kitchen, 2 more "wish-list" items were added: a wall oven and a pantry cabinet with roll-out shelves.

An underused space off the kitchen was given new life with the addition of a

butler’s pantry

. Who doesn’t need extra storage in the kitchen? Adding a wall of cabinetry provides an all-in-one home for special event dinnerware along with serving platters and small appliances.
