had enough space by the kitchen entry for a built-in china cabinet. The piece, similar to the kind that would’ve originally existed in a house like this, serves as a landing strip for keys, and provides storage and display space for cookbooks and other objects. The door on the right leads to the basement. The hallway leads to the front door.

Soapstone counters were an apt choice for the style and age of the house. They are one of the couple’s favorite things about the new kitchen.

The refrigerator wall was expanded to include additional cabinetry and open shelving. One of the doorways was also removed.
Waite is particularly fond of the new backsplash design. “The matching raised-panel wood backsplash is an unexpected touch,” she says. “The tile was selected by the homeowner and I think the texture of the basket weave complements the cabinetry.”
Cathedral-style glass made by a local artisan is featured on the front and sides of most of the kitchen’s upper cabinets. “They make the most impact on the tall cabinetry flanking the refrigerator and wall ovens,” Waite says.
The new cabinetry is filled to the brim with custom details, including matching end panels, glass fronts, crown molding and a wood range hood that includes decorative panels and oversized corbels. Waite says the classic coffered ceiling was a decorative solution to an existing beam. “The extra coffers add intention. They are successful because of the alignment with the focal point of the room: the range top hood.”
Bar-style seating replaces the old standup counter. Waite kept the recessed lighting and added three pendant lights above the island to lower the sightline and add visual interest.
The new island’s cherry stain coordinates with custom millwork found throughout the home. The island includes a second sink for food prep and cleanup. Waite also integrated an undercounter microwave into the cabinetry.
Waite chose a warm white paint for the main cabinets and a medium-toned cherry stain for the island to match existing finishes throughout the rest of the home. She also incorporated two different styles of cabinet door. The main cabinets feature a raised-panel door and the island doors have recessed panels. The new cabinetry and layout were chosen to stand the test of time. “This will be a space that carries through with the life of the home,” Waite says.
The space received an open-concept, L-shaped layout. A 10-foot island and coffered ceiling beams were added. Traditional hardwood floors with a warm finish replaced the existing tile. The range was moved to the back wall and expanded. The new layout now flows into the dining space.
With its new coffered ceiling, shiny wood floors and an island to improve flow and prep space, it makes living on the coast a breeze.
