Kitchen plans for this project allowed for a large kitchen island. The clients loved the idea of combining a working and baking center that accommodated seating, yet also an aesthetic that breaks with the boxiness of modern kitchen islands. Thus began the development of a wonderful and absolutely unique feature for this home: transforming a vintage furniture piece into a farmhouse-style table/ island! First, re/DESIGN helped find the right vintage farm table, then we worked out modification details. This included relocating the original pine table top to become a low shelf with cut outs for chairs to tuck in just-so, and feet to raise the table height to a new working height. We added a honed Carrara marble top and duplexes for small appliances. At that point we rendered a mock-up of the what the design would look like. When we all liked what we saw in the rendering, it was time for the craftspeople at JPT Carpentry to work their magic and put everything together. The resulting piece is stunning!
