c 1917 Authentic Period Kitchen Restoration
|
This Washington, D.C. row house still retains many of the features that made it attractive to buyers in 1917, including oak and pine floors, beautifully stained woodwork and a large claw foot bathtub. The poorly-designed 1980's kitchen however, was completely out of sync with the rest of the house. Rather than renovate, Old House Loves helped this homeowner realize her vision for a truly authentic period kitchen with vintage appliances sourced from salvage yards, online auctions and recyclers.
