THE MAKEOVER
Although the goal was to make the kitchen modern, the Kendalls wanted to preserve the sense of the Victorian.
Cabinets: "Even though the cabinets are new," explains Pam, "I wanted them to look as if they were always here, original to the house." A mantel-like shelf conceals the vent hood.
Floor: An artist painted the pine floor with a pattern of green diamonds linked by a delicate fleur-de-lis motif. The green hue matches the walls.
Island & Pot Rack: A school biology table was transformed by David T. Smith into a work island, fitted with doors, drawers, and a microwave oven and topped with a gleaming culinary pewter surface. The hanging pot rack allows for easy access.
Tin Tile Backsplash
Backsplash: "When I saw the tin tiles that were on our basement ceiling, I wanted to reuse them for the backsplash," says Pam. The four repeating patterns were stripped of paint and hand-finished with an oil. The same tiles were used in the mudroom and in the downstairs bath. A new pot-filler spigot appears authentic.
Seasonal Flowers
Vintage white ironstone and pottery vases hold seasonal amaryllis and paperwhites.
