Old Bones New Kitchen
This is a 1930s house, and it had many of the things you’d expect from a house of that vintage – a lack of insulation in parts; a small, galley-style kitchen; and a layout that doesn’t quite work with the way we live in our homes today.
It also had a large yard, a central location, and a double car garage. If only something could be done about the inside… Sherry-Lynn and her husband, who recently moved back to St. John’s after several years away, were renting a house while they looked for something to call their own. They looked at this house several times, attracted by the home’s exterior and the indoor parking, but the inside of the house kept pushing them away. If only the house didn’t have so many walls, they thought.
But maybe it didn’t need all those walls? The couple visited the house yet again with a contractor, who assured them that yes, they could remove some walls and make the modifications they wanted.
The result is a stylish, beautifully appointed contemporary home inside a classic shell, featuring a kitchen by Modern Millwork and Cabinetry built on the homeowner’s desire for a gender-neutral colour palette and a large island.
