1915 Wauwatosa Colonial Kitchen Remodel
The owner's of this 1915 Colonial Revival needed to expand their small, unattractive enclosed Kitchen to accommodate their family of four, as well as extended family gatherings. The homeowners didn't need to have an eat-in kitchen because of the close proximity of the dining room, but wanted island seating for quick meals. A second bathroom also was desired. Creating flow throughout the space was also of high priority.
After the structural work was completed, the views were opened up to the other rooms and the backyard so the children could be seen while playing outside. The kitchen's focal point was the island, which housed a Blancodiamond Silgranit sink with built-in soap dispenser and contemporary Moen Ascent gooseneck faucet. Silgranit, which is 80 percent granite, has a stainless appearance, but is more durable and gives a warmer look to the area. The island was designed to serve as a gathering area, but also as a buffer to the working area of the kitchen.
