THE RIGHT BALANCE
A contemporary kitchen blends with
a historic English Tudor home
LEFT It was a must for the
client's cabinetry to not look
factory-finished, so the design
team chose a textured "handbrushed" paint that showed
light brush strokes.
RIGHT This house had beautiful
historic doors and antique
brass hardware, so the team
reused some of the historic locksets and crafted new
doors to blend with the old.
BOTTOM A bar sink was added
with mahogany wood tops
that can be used for laundry as
well as entertaining.
THE OWNER OF A LARGE COTTAGE-STYLE HOME loved the character of
her house but hoped to include a modern, eclectic aesthetic in her kitchen.
Designer Jim Barna of Basking Ridge, N.J.-based TrueLeaf Kitchens
worked to give the client a number of requests for her unique kitchen,
including a butler's pantry, a hand-brushed look for the cabinetry and a
flowing backsplash.
A HISTORIC CHALLENGE
After opening the wall between the kitchen and pantry to make room for
the butler's pantry, the design team found stone beneath. By framing out a
new wall over the stone, they were able to recess the refrigerator and washer/
dryer into an old dumbwaiter shaft.
"This allowed us to run our drain and plumbing lines into the basement below quite nicely,"said Barna, adding that the kitchen was irregularly shaped,.
In addition, the only air conditioner in the kitchen was from an old window
unit. The stone and plaster construction of the home would not allow for air
conditioning to run easily into the space, so the design team used a slimline
unit above a window.
DIFFICULT REQUESTS
SOURCES
For her newly contemporary kitchen, the client asked for a stone apron-front
sink. After introducing her to Mont Blanc quartzite, she wanted the material
installed everywhere, including the sink.
"The blue-gray veining was amazing, and she wanted it to flow like water
down her backsplash - from the hood down across the counter and over the
front of the sink in a continuous flow," said Barna.
The team placed the stone vertically and worked to align the veins from the
backsplash into the counter.To add to the drama, the client spotted the image
of a frog in the stone and wanted to include it in the backsplash.
"It was honestly the most difficult stone installation I have ever done,"
said Barna, recalling the hours spent laying out the slabs. "It was one for the
books, very tedious and a bit unnerving to pull off, but in the end it is one of
my favorite things about this kitchen."
The judges felt this kitchen was luxurious with overwhelming sophistication and was consistent with the character of the original home.
