A 1966 Tarrytown kitchen updated for a family that cooks together — without losing what made it worth saving.
The work
Original cabinetry was preserved, refined with solid brass hardware. Calacatta Laza quartz introduced light and movement. The can grid was replaced entirely: ceiling cove uplights now bathe the room in warm, dimmable light.
Anchored by a La Cornue range, the kitchen holds both its history — salvaged brick and limestone from Austin's Old Majestic Hotel — and its present.
