Vintage Kitchen Remodel in Historic Home

This beautiful vintage kitchen remodel by The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn in an 1897 historic home is located not too far from me – Downers Grove. I love every square inch of its sun-filled space with classic elements like Shaker cabinets and subway tile.

A trio of quaint bar stools cozy up to the expansive kitchen island. Custom tile work above the stove adds color and interest to the neutral toned room.

Open shelves were added to a section of the wall where a cabinet would seem too intrusive by blocking part of the window. It’s a great spot for small, sun-loving plants.

Shaker style cabinets in the vintage kitchen are painted in a beautiful shade of beige that’s anything but boring. I love the length of the kitchen island and its ample counter space. That doorway leads to a remodeled powder room.

A farmhouse sink adds a touch of old school charm. I love when sinks have a window above them. When I lived in an apartment, that wasn’t the case. So I hung a landscape painting above the sink to pretend I had a view!

The house reveals its age through the vintage molding around the windows and doors. And did you spot the wine fridge by the back door?

  1. Always enjoy your emails. I’m getting ready to retire my bathroom. Would love to see some ideas on medium size bathroom that might also be budget friendly! especially greys!
    Happy Thanksgiving!!

  2. Love the size of this kitchen. Seems just right. And it’s so bright and cheerful. Would be fun to cook or bake in there. Lovely.

  3. Oh Jennifer! Just when I think I am tired of being so neutral and painted my island a beautiful shade of teal, you come along with these beautiful beige/tan cabinets! The black pulls are really the finishing touch and that gorgeous pantry cabinet! Once again, I’m drooling over here in Crystal Lake! Thanks for another great post.
