Traditional Kitchen, New York
Peter Rymwid Photographer
The kitchen in this beautiful old home in Montclair was small and dark and unattractive. By using some of the length in the adjoining dining room, the kitchen was expanded to accommodate a small island with seating for 2 and a steam oven. Double panel wall cabinets extend to the ceiling with a large crown molding details which were found in homes of this age. Clean white subway tiles were selected for the backslash with a white and gray glass tile feature for above the Wolf Range. the easy to care for glass is unexpected as marble is many times selected for this detail. The Sub Zero refrigerator was paneled to match the cabinets and integrate into the design. A banquette was designed an built to allow for the maximum seating for this young family. A very small and awkward powder room was relocated to make way for a nicely sized walk in pantry.
