    This sweet 145-square-foot kitchen in Piedmont, California, “is meant to be on the humble side,” says architect Robert Kelly. “Ninety-five percent of us live in small kitchens, and this kitchen has everything we need and want. Almost all magazine kitchens are large kitchens, but they really aren’t what most of us have room for or need.” Here’s how Robert and his wife Ronna got their kitchen remodel right.

    I LOVE that in the end she says that the kitchen is big enough (didn't need to make it bigger) That is such a rare disposition nowdays.. and what a charming, well done renovation!

    FINALLY!! Folks (and their architect) who loves the house and pays homage to it in a major renovation! It's absolutely STUNNING!! No cookie-cutter kitchen HERE!!!

    Love this kitchen much more than the modern gigantic ones. Practical, functional, tons of light! Very good taste.

    I love the fact they kept the character of the house instead of ripping all the beauty of the old homes. And happy to see that we're not the only household with a live dog on the middle of the floor. Lol

    I have come back and watched this video a few times these years. It is my favorit kitchen because they treasured and respected the old charm. They didnt do what everyone does and blow all the walls out to make open space. Also my own kitchen is an exact replica of the kitchen space, the outside door, window and inside doorway, so this really helped me see potential in my own home, thank you!

    I have three or four Houzz videos that I watch over and over, and this is one of them. I love that they stayed true to the soul and age of the house and didn't make it all sleek and modern! I really love the stove, too.

    I'm so thankful that you kept the history of the house. It kills me to see Victorian homes or older homes with modern elements such as the recessed lighting and new windows. It actually breaks my heart , so thank you, thank you.

  • @ManUntdForever
    @ManUntdForever 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    What beautiful modifications they've made. I really appreciate that they only removed the walls that were necessary for their project and kept the rest up. It's really great hearing the perspective from a trained architect on how he envisioned the space and the materials he used. Really great video.

    Such a lovely homely family kitchen, the space is so cute and it's got character that is lacking in so many remodelling projects these days

  • @soniatriana9091

    Finally! A family who appreciates the original style & character of a house that’s 100 years old.
    Reminds me of the Spanish Revival homes in Los Angeles, CA or anywhere in CA built during the 1920’s.

  • @adiiiida
    @adiiiida 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love this! I really love the idea of preserving the original character and respecting the original architecture of a home! You see so much of the generic open-concept-kinda renovations where people just rip all the walls and also the good vibes out of their homes! Open-concept is also not very practical since it eliminates privacy and all other possibilities of having cozy nooks and archways and all of the different moments you can experience within an older house! People just end up living in square boxes that aren't particularly interesting or homey. The popular trend of opening it all up for the sake of entertaining overlooks the fact that people actually spend the majority of their time at home just living by themselves/with their closest family.
    I love how this reno turned out! Especially love the butlers pantry with that amazing skylight-moment

  • @jewelgarden6994

    Love mixing new with the old and leaving the architectural details and character of the home. Reminds me of the Garden District homes. Being conservative and making it classy and functional. Love it!

  • @veronicabone8835

    Love this kitchen and the fact that the character of the home was important to the homeowners. It's a charming space with arches. Glad they didn't destroy the character by knocking out the walls. The stove and windows were great finds. Glad they kept the tin can floor patch.

  • @markaustin4370

  • @jamiebee408
    @jamiebee408 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love that they left the vintage charm of the home intact! I scream inside when I see old houses gutted and modernized, with none of it's original beauty left behind.

    Nicely done. I really like it. so many times kitchens don't fit with the house. This kitchen looks like it's always been there.

  • @altitudeiseverything3163
    @altitudeiseverything3163 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, I love everything about this kitchen! It’s great that they took care to respect the original time period and architecture of the house. Not only is it beautiful and homey (with modern functionality), but it will never really look dated, as many “modern” kitchens inharmoniously stuck into older homes inevitably will. With the high cost of kitchens, who wants to do a major renovation every time the trends change?

  • @josephinebrevig8748

  • @TheDecoCottage

    THIS! This is how you do a “modern” kitchen in an old house. They’ve done a great job of maintaining the charm and character of the original house while making the kitchen modern and functional for a young family. It’s great to see thoughtful and intentional renovations in old houses.
    We’re about to start a kitchen renovation and hope to do the same thing to our 1928 Tudor Revival cottage. We’re putting in all new cabinetry and floors in the space but sticking to classic finishes and shaker doors that nod to the 1920’s.

    A great renovation that retains the character of the house. My daughter uses quartz countertops that look like Carrera marble in her flips. It has the aesthetic without the disadvantage of marble.

    What a charming home. A retro frig (in a pumpkin color like your sweater) would look great in this kitchen for a pretty pop! of color. But, the home is lovely just as it is. Very inviting.

    Absolutely love what you did and what you didn't do. I like to see you guys and the kids (and the dog) all in there and relishing what you have and not bemoaning what you don't have, which is a huge cavernous kitchen that wears you out just walking from one side to the other around an island as big as a kingsized bed! Kudos on your charming kitchen and your family togetherness!!
