The kitchen in this 1870s home had been designed to resemble the galley of a Scandinavian boat: a fun design choice, but one that resulted in a cramped and dark workspace for the homeowner. Maintaining the room's original footprint, the space was fully renovated to open up the kitchen. Cabinets were taken down from the walls, with storage placed beneath the countertop instead, freeing space for additional windows and allowing clear sightlines to an adjacent breakfast nook. Workstations and appliances were also relocated to create a more comfortable working environment and to improve flow within the room.

The finished product is a unique combination of fresh traditional, as exemplified by the contrast of the pool house interior and exterior. Photo Credit: Eric Roth
