We have been piece away at the kitchen one project at a time. Getting the the 1931 farmhouse sink helped up start us into the reno.

With the help of our handyman Manuel we had to cut into the bottom cabinets to make room for it. We all took out a row of drawers to make room for a 18in dishwasher. The tile countertops were demoed and soapstone was installed. We got some great pieces with great veining.

The light was switch out for a schoolhouse light. The wiring was changed out and the switches to period actuate push buttons. The back splash is a periwinkle glass subway tile wraps around the kitchen tying the color of the kitchen to the show piece 1950s O'keefe & Merritt.We added a vintage hood and had it painted to match the stove. Behind the stove is a tin backsplash.
The upper cabinets were too high to do anything with so we decided to make them into a display for vintage packaging. We took the doors off and lined the cabinets with (V-Groove) beadboard. V-Groove is not common today so the beadboard was milled. Then we added LEDs to light the displays.
