Before the renovation, the kitchen bore the dated image of dark cabinetry, fluorescent lighting and six layers of linoleum.
In order to restore the home historically in an environmentally safe way it was necessary to gut the kitchen down to the studs and painstakingly replicate what had once been there. This meant each material and design decision had to be balanced between design, function, serviceability and price, and historic value and sustainability. Energy-saving appliances were used throughout.
Bathroom BEFORE
Bathroom AFTER
To improve the traffic flow in and out of an upstairs bathroom, a vanity, added in the 1970s, was removed. A
pink-and-blue tub was replaced with a 1920s-style white porcelain model. Virtually all of the original tile in the bath was reusable.
