KITCHEN RENOVATION IDEAS FOR PERIOD HOMES
Restorers Favourite Conversation
Restoration of old period homes is a favourite conversation of owners of period homes but rarely do you hear talk about a kitchen restored to its former glory. These beautiful historical homes we have grown to love and appreciate did not have the kind of kitchens we expect today. Historical kitchens where mod cons would not blend are antiquated, inefficient and poorly laid out.
Historical Details
In a typical 19th century and early 20th century pre-war model, kitchens were work areas simple and plain. Everything in the kitchens was freestanding from the huge cast-iron stove, the sink on porcelain legs, the icebox and a table that doubled as a workspace. Those that were modernized in the 1950s, ’60s, or ’70s often held even less appeal than the ones before. The countertop, flooring, and ceiling materials in them were no match visually as the hardwoods, linoleum’s, and metals them replaced. Appliances with their dismal colours were disappointing at best. Today we want to capture the flavour of the kitchens we imagine our great-grandparents loved and enjoyed. Homey, warmth and filled with the aroma of good cooking.
Salvaged and Reproduction Material
Fortunately, replicating the mood of a period-style kitchen in an existing space has never been easier. As demand for kitchen accessories with a patina of age has grown, so has the availability of period materials. Architectural salvage and well-designed reproduction hardware and appliances are relatively easy to locate. Resources for old-fashioned pieces can be found by perusing advertisements in many home design magazines and inquiring at local antiques’ shops and architectural salvage companies.
Custom Home Builder built cabinets, more than any other single element in the design; determine the look and feel of a kitchen. To give a kitchen a historic feeling, designers caution against filling the kitchen with modern built-ins. Architectural salvage companies often stock vintage cabinets in wood or metal. These cabinets mix well with freestanding antique or reproduction pieces. An antique dresser or a dry sink adds charm as well as semi-customized items like plate racks and open shelving. Painted wood cabinets may warp when stripped so be advised to try one cabinet door first. Metal cabinets should be stripped, buffed, and lacquered to prevent them from rusting. Stone countertops are compatible with old-fashioned kitchens as long as the stone is honed to a soft finish not sleek and modern.
For flooring, designers usually recommend hardwood. Linoleum, maligned for years, is making a comeback. Unused rolls of vintage linoleum from the ’20s to the ’50s can often be found at salvage companies or at speciality stores. On the ceiling, pressed metal makes quite a statement, particularly when left in its natural state. As an alternative, try heavy paper, cream-coloured wallpaper embossed in a variety of period patterns. It is less expensive to install than pressed metal and once painted, achieves a much similar effect.
Finding authentic-looking stoves and also refrigerators became easier in the mid-1980s when the country look was blossoming. Our grandparents’ stoves have all been refurbished and are easier than ever to find. No matches are needed! Though most old stoves are white, some occasionally turn up in cream, green, or blue. Hoods are more difficult to find to match your stove since they were not around one hundred years ago. Try buying wood and blending it into the upper cabinetry.

Can I simply just say what a relief to uncover somebody that genuinely knows
what they’re talking about over the internet. You actually
know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More people need to read this and understand this side of
the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular
because you definitely possess the gift.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make
your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away
your intelligence on just posting videos
to your blog when you could be giving us something informative
to read?
