At TOH TV's latest project house, minor floor plan tweaks and a modest addition gave a family of four new places to gather, play, and spend quiet time.
The room was made longer and wider by removing a second stairway and relocating the half bath. Now it boasts plenty of cupboards and drawers for storage, as well as a handy (and compact) 3-by-4-foot prep island where cooks can chop and slice their way through recipes, thanks to a thick top of end-grain sapele wood. White painted cabinets with antiqued-brass hardware were designed to mimic those in the adjacent butler's pantry, original to the 1915 house and lovingly kept intact during the renovation. Glass-fronted upper cabinets flanking the sink and window underscore the room’s bright, airy feel.
