Traditional at First Glance

This home, originally built in 1830, was remodeled and added onto regularly over the past nearly 200 yearsÑmeaning the kitchen needed some work to make it ready for a new family's changing needs. The design choices are sensitive to the history of the houseÑwindows with the same pane proportions as the originals, deep green colors commonly found on the doors and shutters of historic homes in the Northeast, and soapstone counters that will wear with age. And by incorporating more modern elements as well, the kitchen is both reminiscent of the Shaker style, but updated for modern time.
