BEF ORE & AFTER
appliances for lots of prep space. They envisioned
a big, open area for cooking and eating that could
accommodate their whole family (and then some).
And the Walls Came Down
The new vision required major structural modifi cations.
The weird fireplace had to go, and multiple
walls would need to come down. A 14-foot wall of
glass doors would be installed to open access to the
outdoor living space.
The old kitchen and dining room were sited in a
one-story bump-out addition, and Lord-Levitt suggested
they vault the ceiling in that section make the
new kitchen feel even bigger.
" This was a very construction-based, technical
renovation, " she said. " Luckily, it was all framed pretty
well, but we had to shore up where the fi replace was
and blow out walls. There was a lot of duct work to
work around. We needed to disguise some of the
things that are essential to the space. "
Green With Envy
The owners had excellent taste, said Lord-Levitt, and
brought plenty of inspiration to the drawing board.
" She wanted this kind of organic, natural aspect, "
added the designer, " and she loved this deep green
and wanted to incorporate it. "
When they decided to make it the cabinet color,
Lord-Levitt chose a natural white oak for the island,
which, along with the white walls and quartzite countertops,
helped soften the heavy palette.
" The vaulted ceilings affected that decision, too, "
she added. " If the ceilings were really low, those dark
green cabinets would have been too much. "
The homeowners
bought this house
for its location
in an excellent
school district
but knew the
small kitchen and
awkward layout
of rooms needed
to be completely
redone to fi t their
family of fi ve.
BEFORE
The two-sided fi replace was centrally - and oddly - placed
on the fi rst fl oor, and the homeowners didn't use it. Taking it
out was essential to the new fl oor plan; the kitchen island now
incorporates a structural post where the fi replace used to be.
BEFORE
FLOOR PLAN
This corner cabinet stores
everyday counter appliances
like the coffee maker, keeping
prep spaces clutter free. The
cabinet door features a piano
hinge so it can be opened and
folded fl at against the wall.
