This 1916 grand traditional classic home had a dated, previously remodeled kitchen. This large transformation included a new covered side entry and portico, an added elevator to replace a dangerous back stairwell and the removal of some interior walls. These changes added more space for a larger island, more storage and a larger work area. A relocated back entry, large window over the sink and new arch accent windows were also included in the remodel. The trim details represent the ornate trim seen around the house, and quartz countertops and backsplashes tie in the white cabinetry. Thick doors were added to mimic the original butler’s pantry doors, maintaining the home’s original charm with all the conveniences of a modern kitchen.

*Judge Gigi Lombrano did not participate in the judging of the 300-390 square foot category.

Why the judges love it: This is an amazing transformation! The designers made great choices when it came to the use of the new spaces, and the unique details like the lights and sconces make the kitchen stand out.
