manhattan kitchen in beautiful early 20th century building gets a gut renovation - its last upgrade was in the early 1980s and the original pipes for gas lighting still existed!
BEFORE & AFTER
custom cabinetry for storage
although small, it’s footprint was ample enough to create a kitchen worthy of the client’s cooking and baking skills. With bespoke cabinetry stretching up to the ceiling, fitting shelving around old pipes that could not be removed, adding a pull out pantry and pull out waste bin, storage is no longer the problem it was.
texture pattern color
the mix of brass and chrome hardware along with the stainless steel appliances adds warmth and interest, as does the carrying pattern play in the flooring, backsplash and countertops. Although there is quite a sizable window, natural light is limited, hence the decision to use warm, cheerful colors on the walls and an added dash of fun chevron print for the custom shade.
bright and airy
While all lights - LED under cabinet and ceiling chandelier are on dimmer switches for a custom lighting effect, the ceiling light adds some sparkle and glamour to a space where cooking and creating family dishes are always in the works.
