Anderson Kitchen--AFTER
In the Anderson kitchen, our goal was to create a space that blended in with the rest of the historic home. We chose walnut cabinets (for character) and white cabinets (to brighten the north-facing space) and a black Bertazzoni range to accent the iron windows. We created smart storage for countertop clutter; there's a hidden pantry next to the fridge where the microwave is tucked away, and there is a pull-out garbage area next to the sink, convenient to the back door exit. A new lighting scheme was essential, and we even snuck in a bench so that an in-kitchen dining space fit snugly in the corner. Quartz countertops are virtually indestructible, and we built the range-side cabinets to 30" deep to take advantage of the width of the room and maximize countertop and storage.
We think it's a keeper. It's like it was meant to look like this all along.
