The eye is naturally drawn to the custom kitchen island made from quarter-sawn white oak, which required us to assemble on-site because it would not fit through the door once completed. The six timber wolf posts are the perfect accent to the piece, and the beautiful antique chandelier, imported from Italy, casts just the right amount of light. The highlight of the kitchen, however, is the charming custom range from the La Cournue Chateau series and cast stone hood. Together, these complement each other to perfectly suit the style and feel of the kitchen while adding a sense of authenticity to the space. This historic home had an addition made in the back, which became the kitchen and sunroom. We had to custom-build cabinets that allowed some original brick to come through like a backsplash. The result was a beautiful, warm brick perfectly complimented by custom cabinets. The brass hardware featured on the cabinets is another element that rings true to the home’s historic roots.
