Historic Home Addition and Renovation
The show piece of the entire renovation was converting the existing dining room into a beautiful and spacious kitchen. A brick wall was opened up to allow more natural light from the sunroom into the kitchen and the original fireplace was kept helping blend the old with the new and keeping the character of this unique home. With the remodeled space, Steller was also able to create a butler’s pantry where most of the appliances are hidden to create the new “messy kitchen” trend. Now that kitchens have become the center of entertainment and more open to the rest of the home, homeowners feel compelled to keep countertops free of clutter. The trend is to hide the ovens, coffee makers, and other large appliances around the corner or in an oversized pantry where they remain ready-to-use, but out of sight.
