LEFFERTS MANOR LIMESTONE - 2012
The ground floor kitchen of this historic limestone townhouse was a series of separate work surfaces, appliances, and fixtures without flow between the different functions. We opened up the pantry closet and passthrough hall to the dining room and replaced them with ample storage cabinetry, created a breakfast bar island and expansive work surface, and added a wine bar. The dark stained oak island contrasts with the white lacquered cabinetry throughout the rest of the kitchen. The bamboo flooring previously installed was stained to match the historic oak flooring in the rest of the house.
The adjacent non-insulated shed was rebuilt and transformed into a laundry and gardening room. The former cramped laundry room was opened up into a spa like bathroom which was styled as a serene yet modern contrast to the rest of the historic home. We also added central air conditioning and a new glass door to the garden.
