As was typical in homes of the late 1920s vintage, the kitchen was tucked away at the back of the house with only a remote eating booth for family
or friends to congregate. (See "before" floor plan.) The kitchen also provided the only access to the newly landscaped back patios and waterfall. Entertaining with the "everyone wants to be in the kitchen" concept just didn't work, so a five-foot extension was created. Inner walls were removed around the eating booth to open the entire area for a beautiful breakfast table and room to roam.(See "after" floor plan.) Natural Raja Classic Slate tile was used on the floor to tie in with the natural stone used on the multi-tiered patios outside. The Cherry cabinetry was topped with "Golden Dust" slab granite from India, including the full-height backsplash. A wall-mounted polished nickel Rohl faucet, typical to the age of the home, was used for easier clean-up around the sink. | |
