historic kitchen revival

Set within a historic 1940s residence famously featured in the film Lady Bird, this full-scale kitchen renovation was designed to blend modern functionality with timeless architectural integrity. The goal was to expand and reimagine the existing kitchen and breakfast room into one seamless, open-concept culinary space—ideal for a large family and frequent high-profile entertaining.

Honoring the home’s original character, we recreated key architectural elements while layering in Old World European influences, creating a kitchen that feels as though it’s always belonged. A striking marble backdrop and extensive stone countertops anchor the design, while custom cabinetry conceals high-performance, tech-forward appliances—including a hidden TV—to preserve the kitchen’s classic aesthetic. Thoughtfully proportioned for both daily living and large-scale hosting, the space now supports everything from weeknight dinners to political fundraisers with grace and ease. This luxury kitchen renovation balances historic preservation with contemporary sophistication, resulting in a design that feels effortlessly elevated and undeniably timeless.
