Historic Flair and Room for Two to Cook

This young couple’s appreciation for historic design and love of cooking didn’t jibe with the finishes in their 1990s Colonial-style home or the small work area in their kitchen. They hired Lynda and Jessica Caccamo, a mother-daughter interior design team, to help them achieve a highly functional kitchen with a historic look.

The designers opened up the kitchen to the dining room, then swapped them, putting the new kitchen in the original dining room space and vice versa. The resulting design has a traditional historic style, featuring soft green kitchen cabinetry, a large island, a dining room wet bar, ample storage and plenty of room for the couple to prepare dinner together.
