When my husband, Josh, and I moved to Brooklyn Heights a couple of years in the past, we had been fortunate sufficient to discover a parlor flooring flat that hadn’t been up to date for a few many years, so it was a clean slate. The kitchen particularly wanted work, so we known as on our good friend Malachi Connolly, a New York/Cape Cod-based architect, preservationist, and longtime board member of the Cape Cod Trendy Home Belief to supervise the renovation. Right here’s methods to get the look:
Above: My inspiration for the kitchen was English couturier Anna Valentine’s London residence, which we featured on Remodelista a few years in the past (see Kitchen of the Week: A Culinary House Impressed by a Portray). Above: We turned to Brooklyn-based Jeremy Pickett of Pickett Furnishings (one in all our earliest Remodelista advertisers, again within the late aughts) for the minimally detailed cupboards. The counter tops are Carrara marble. (For countertop steering, see our put up Transforming 101: The Distinction Between Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuary Marble.) A repurposed florist vase holds stalks of garlic from the farmer’s market (I used to be impressed by David Tanis’ kitchen storage concepts). Above: I dithered on the kitchen pendant resolution, in order a placeholder, we went with ironmongery store porcelain fixtures and ornamental outsized Nostalgic Assortment lightbulbs from Bulbrite, found at John Derian’s West Village store. Above: The wall-mounted Chicago Kitchen Faucet with articulated spout is a mannequin we’ve used earlier than; it’s nicely priced, American made, and extremely sturdy. We put in a dowel within the cupboard above the sink to carry paper towels. (See Aha! Hack: Stress Rod as Paper Towel Holder.) Above: We tucked a stacked Bosch washer/dryer behind a full-height door; on the spot laundry room. Above: We selected a Bertazzoni PRO304GASX Vary for its beauty and comparatively slim profile (in comparison with a Wolf or a Viking).
