““In the office, two walls of built-ins offer abundant storage in an eye-catching manner.””

Our first project in the house—a space we completed a few years ago—and everyone’s favorite spot in a home: the kitchen.

The renovation began by removing an awkward two-tier island and replacing it with a beautiful vintage farmhouse table. The new layout, including the addition of a dining table, feels more open and conversational, flowing seamlessly into the adjacent living space. We surrounded the table with a set of antique English Hepplewhite mahogany dining chairs—found on —which we painted in two tones of red, while preserving the original needlepoint seats.

Next, we removed all the upper cabinets and replaced them with open shelving, giving the space a more laid-back feel. The shelves not only showcase ’s beautiful china and glassware, but also provide a place to display his many objets d’art and collected treasures.

The final step was replacing all the plain-front cabinet doors with Shaker-style fronts, painted in ’s Lucerne and finished with boat-cleat–shaped handles
