Old Town Alexandria: One-of-a-Kind Kitchen
In this centuries-old row house in Old Town Alexandria, three rooms at the rear of the house were converted into one long and lovely kitchen. The kitchen was in the middle of the three former rooms, with the range and sink on opposite walls. The room between a formal dining room and the kitchen and breakfast area had no particular function and was used as a bar.
The challenge was making a kitchen out of a long space. Placing the banquette alone on the left wall allowed for ample seating. All cabinets and appliances were arranged on the right hand side of the room. In addition to a fireplace, the kitchen's off-white cabinets, pale green walls, and honey-colored hardwood floors contribute to its coziness. Striking, original artworks and a set of distressed wood chairs make this kitchen truly one-of-a-kind.
