Designer Jonathan Gordon, the owner of Design by the Jonathans, LLC, renovated a 1930s-era kitchen in a home located in New Haven, Connecticut. The home was situated in a historic district and combined elements of Victorian, Tudor, and craftsman architecture. The kitchen, located at the rear of the house, originally was fairly small and cramped, so the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room was removed to create a larger open space that could also help accommodate modern appliances. The new kitchen, which still fit within 329 square feet, was redesigned to include an island with cabinets that could be used from both sides. Marble countertops were used, and the area for drinks was designed with additional space for equipment, all while maintaining aesthetics that were complementary to the house’s architecture.
Key Takeaways:
- Jonathan Gordon loves to designs rooms that are not only beautiful but which to work in them would be a joy.
- He worked on a 392 square kitchen to update it from its 1930s roots to modern-day ease.
- He used dark colors and a unique layout that remembered the kitchen’s past while standing firmly in the modern world.
“But the trick was that we also used beautiful finishes so that it wasn’t all about function, and paid homage to the home’s history.”
