Old World Kitchens



This Hamptons-inspired kitchen features a vintage light fixture complemented by custom-designed cabinets.




Polished tongue-and-groove ceilings crown this European-inspired kitchen with Old World antiques. Neutral hued cabinetry supports a walnut island top. Ornate hand-carved accents appear in the hearth and island areas.




We used the pot rack for inspiration in this kitchen. The curves were taken to form the curves in the countertop and also in the transition in the floor from tile to wood. Photo by Tim Murphy.




A built-in banquette maximizes the seating area in this Victorian kitchen renovation. Cabinetry detailing and historic reproduction lighting help the new addition feel like part of the original historic home.




A peninsula and a maple top island (foreground) provide abundant counter space in this efficient and roomy kitchen. Expansive windows along the back of the house lead to the garden and bluestone patio




The original farmhouse sink was salvaged and reused in this kitchen renovation. The use of new wide plank flooring and beadboard details helps to maintain the retro style.



This kitchen features a beautiful, hand-hammered copper sink and distressed black cabinetry.


This contemporary kitchen is a unique balance of concrete and granite countertops and maple and cherry woods. The banquette is concealed by the wall of angled cabinetry.



This contemporary kitchen shows how radius cabinetry can be used to transition from one space to another.




This kitchen feautres a grand 8' x 8' island. The unique color on the birch cabinets features a hand-applied painted sheen, which allows a hint of the natural wood grain to peek through the soft gray tone. Intricate moldings and corbels give the cabinets a high-end furniture look.
