Kitchen Renovation – Central, New Jersey
A complete renovation of the kitchen in a custom-built 1950s Mid-Century Modern home. The design emphasizes openness and simplicity, with clean white base cabinets extending 30 feet, a porcelain tile floor, and a large white subway tile backsplash.
Forgoing upper cabinets, the kitchen feels light and expansive, anchored by a stainless steel farmhouse sink with an industrial-style faucet. Custom white engineered quartz countertops provide a modern nod to 1950s design, complementing the home’s original character.
Custom electrical work introduces pendant lighting and updates throughout, while a new metal ceiling highlights the structural wide wood beams. The reimagined space connects the east-facing front of the house to the west-facing back, bringing light and flow into the long kitchen at the heart of the home.
