Fusing Vintage Aesthetics with Modern Design

Our clients' kitchen had plenty of history, but it was cramped, outdated, and lacked the right space, style, and functionality. We knew it needed a refresh that honored its original charm while improving flow and usability. The floors also needed refinishing to bring warmth and character back to the space.

An Open & Inviting Floor Plan

To make the kitchen feel more open and inviting, our team removed the wall between the dining room and kitchen, allowing for more natural light and movement around the area. Our client wanted to preserve the vintage aesthetic of the space, so instead of replacing the original metal cabinets, we gave them new life with a fresh light green finish.

Functional Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks

One highlight of this project was the creative use of the client’s extra metal cabinets, which had been stored in the basement. We repurposed them to build a custom island and a small coffee bar, adding both function and a personal touch to the space. To complete this area, we upgraded the island with an older table top to further emphasize the blend of vintage charm and modern convenience.

Tying it All Together

Fresh tile work helped tie everything together in the end. A crisp white hexagon backsplash added texture and contrast against the green cabinets, while refinished hardwood floors restored warmth and character throughout the home. The final touches featured updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, which brought everything together for a space that now feels timeless.

Bridging the Gap Between Eras

The final result is a prime example of how an outdated kitchen can completely transform the feel of your home. With our team's thoughtful design, expert tile installation, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors, we gave our clients' space a whole new life while keeping vintage roots intact.
