Furniture piece converted to kitchen island

From dining looking towards kitchen

Sage kitchen with bright new windows and herringbone white oak floors

This revamped 1940s residence sports glass bricks, a double-height living area, and a stone-clad facade.

Original wooden accents continue into the bright corner kitchen, which comes fitted with custom cabinetry, open shelving, and new appliances.

The kitchen, which friends helped put together, pairs affordable Ikea cabinetry with birch countertops and glazed brick tile.

A rectangular volume in the kitchen holds an in-cabinet fridge, a walk-in pantry, a room with an HVAC system, and a powder room. The pine ceiling and oak cabinetry are complimentary, and the dark backsplash and countertops are a practical choice that grounds the space. "I love cooking," says Jonah, noting that they chose top-tier appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero. "I wanted to have a kitchen that could be a central gathering point of our home for years to come where our family could gather to cook together and eat together."

The original plans showed cabinetry placement along the pony wall, and Cover Architecture and EEK Studio gave it unique detailing.

The design team specified tile by Makumade for the dining room cabinetry. It's the Malaga line in custom colors and size.

The design team restored the cork floors. The island lights are Sven Middleboe for Nordisk and are original to the house. The counters are Ceppo Di Gre Marble and the door to the restored pantry is painted Tarrytown Green by Benjamin Moore, and given a porthole window with reeded glass.

In Heather Thompson and Sam Grady’s renovated kitchen, custom cabinetry includes a hidden filing cabinet for important family papers.
