When a New York couple bought their dream house, a Queen Anne Victorian, they discovered that the kitchen had been stripped of its period details. Instead of soaring spaces and crown molding, the dated kitchen had minimal counterspace, poor light, and very little room to cook.
To see what the couple did to remedy these issues, read more.
Working with an architect, the couple expanded the kitchen so it extended along the house's entire back wall. They installed a center island, a dining area, and French doors that open to a side porch. With the use of materials such as crown moldings, soapstone, and marble, the kitchen finally fits with the rest of the house.
Check out This Old House for the details.

I love it!
1Beautiful transformation!!!
2I love that they moved the "chalkboard" from the old cabinets to the fridge. We painted a wall in our kitchen with chalkboard paint and it's really fun, plus it comes in handy for grocery lists, etc. This re-do looks beautiful!
3Definitely an improvement!
4Oh I love it! I have been toying with the idea of using chalkboard paint on my fridge and this may do the trick to push me over the edge!
5There are some elements of Victorian in the redesign but I wouldn't call it Victorian. But it looks nice.
6That's beautiful! A 100% improvement.
7Oooh big time kitchen envy!!
8Gorgeous! I wish it was my kitchen!
