This 1891 Victorian took on new life with a stunning kitchen, butler’s pantry and breakfast room addition.  The large family needed plenty of refrigerator and pantry space, but the homeowner did not want massive boxes in a room that she calls her “family room”.  Enter an antique French cupboard in cherry retrofitted as a food pantry, and completely integrated refrigeration sunk into a wall and disguised as an armoire.  To bring the feeling of the hearth to the space a limestone fireplace mantel was used to define the range alcove.  Salvaged art glass windows were used as doors for cabinetry in the interior of the range alcove.  A salvaged art glass transom was used as a backsplash window in the Butler’s Pantry.  Nowdays families do so much more than cook and eat in the kitchen, it truly is the new “family room.”
