How can I remodel the kitchen of my 1929 Storybook Tudor while maintai

That sounds beautiful. The floor would give you some contrast but the kitchen would be light and clean.

That looks lovely! I think it goes well with the style of your home, and it will be timeless. Just have to find a countertop that plays well with the brick flooring! I think butcher block, dark brown or black countertops, or a light color granite would look nice. :)

yes! P.S> I want your house!

I LOVE the existing built-in units shown in your photo. I hope you are keeping them! Your plan sounds good. I would skip the current rage for stainless steel appliances and stick with white or cream. Please post a photo of your finished project. :-)

I love what you are thinking so far. How about a dark soap stone or a quartz look alike soapstone. That would fit the era of the house and look fabulous. Marble & granite are overdone, pricey and have maintaince issues.

Sorry, this isn’t what you want to hear BUT if the photo is actually your kitchen DO NOT CHANGE A THING! It’s simply gorgeous. If it’s a kitchen your thinking of copying then absolutely YES, GO FOR IT. The kitchen in the photo is warm, welcoming and appropriate to the age of your home. Yes I was thinking of a marbling effect worktop, just endure your “vein” is terracotta colour to go with that stunning floor. P.S. What is your EXACT address, I want to live there! 🤗

Hi Kathy, just a word of caution on veneers. Make sure the one you purchase is for flooring. Typically brick veneers are quite thin and can crack under foot. Unlike stone veneers, brick is a molded product. Happy remodeling

First of all, lucky you! Your ideas sound lovely and the floor in the pic you provided is fabulous! I think for the look you have in mind and given the age of your home a butcher block counter top would be pretty authentic. You would have to see how it would look with cream cabinets. I agree with the other comments here that it might be nice to have a darker countertop, so if you did decide on butcher block then maybe one with a darker stain. Sigh......house envy😊

Your idea seems lovely. I recently replaced a brick floor in my kitchen because it was too hard to stand on and toI difficult to keep the mortar joints clean. I think you could do a wood floor and keep the tudor vibe.

What you're describing will be beautiful. If you are thinking of granite counter tops, you might consider having them "honed". It gives a more soft look to the long-wearing granite and is less shiny and modern looking.

I did a black honed granite in my 1898 era home with white cabinets and when I sold it, it sold in one day...mostly because of the kitchen. :) Good Luck with your reno and please post for us....we're interested!

Agree with Caseyem that a brick floor in a kitchen would be impractical and uncomfortable. It would also be noisy, and things that fell on it would break easily.
