This 1920s house remodel blends timeless character with thoughtful, high-performance design - centered around a complete redesign of the original galley kitchen. The layout was carefully reconfigured to improve flow and functionality while honoring the house’s historic charm. Custom inset cabinets finished with a cool Benjamin Moore Fair Ilse Blue color, were fabricated to complement the existing heart of pine flooring, with an oil-finished treatment applied to enrich the natural warmth and depth of the wood. The cabinetry design integrates a panel-ready beverage refrigerator for a seamless look, accented by gold-finish pulls and knobs that add a refined layer of contrast and sophistication. A custom hood enclosure anchors the kitchen, flanked by tailored shelving with discreet, hidden niches - designed for convenient, everyday access without compromising the clean aesthetic. Architectural continuity was also a priority, highlighted by the addition of a new three-point archway that mirrors original details found throughout the house. Beyond the kitchen, the half-bathroom was elevated with updated finishes including a new vanity, statement wallpaper, and a curated mirror - bringing a cohesive, design-forward feel to even the smallest spaces. The result is a carefully balanced remodel that enhances the house’s original 1920s character while delivering modern functionality, custom craftsmanship, and elevated design throughout. months
