We just completed a kitchen renovation in a 200 plus year old farmhouse in New Jersey. With the help of Ken Fox of Fox Architecture Design, he designed steel beams to reinforce the structure of the house. Aside from providing the support, they added an attractive design aspect in this old home. Here are some of the things we also did to update and bring this kitchen to life:
• Floors were sanded and refinished with provincial stain with a satin finish.
• Beams were exposed, sanded down and stained with Zar, oil leather stain, finished with matte clear coat.
• Lighting installed.
• La Courne 43” wide French door oven in Provence Blue was installed.
• Farmhouse sink was by Kohler with legs at the front, exposed plumbing in a polished nicklel finish to match the fawcet.
• Note on the steel beam installation, it took a crew of 8 to bring in and install each one.
