Charming Revival

The goal of this project was to create an open, updated kitchen, mudroom entry, and powder bath for this 1927 home.  With two young children, the homeowners wished to have informal cooking and dining areas that would better suit the family’s lifestyle, while incorporating design elements that would be more reflective of the home’s Colonial Revival roots. By carefully removing interior walls and relocating the kitchen and powder bath, Teakwood was able to enlarge and update the most popular gathering places and add a mudroom with storage. Detailed millwork was added throughout to match the existing trim and to replicate the period mouldings, columns, and paneling found elsewhere throughout the home’s interior. The thoughtful use of finishes–such as the custom cherry cabinetry and natural stone countertops–helped this new family-friendly space to live large while respecting the home’s original charm.
