When this couple sold their business, retired and moved from Texas to Virginia to be closer to family, there was one thing they wished they could have brought with them: their kitchen.
“They absolutely loved their kitchen in Texas,” interior designer Theresa Dorlini says. “They had completed a lot of updates on that kitchen, and they shared photos of it with us. While this kitchen looks nothing like that kitchen, we were able to pick up on a lot of what they loved about it and give it to them here.”
The new kitchen may look different, but it feels right at home in their 1915 house. Architectural details, cabinetry with a furniture-like feel and vintage-style opaque glass pendant lights give the space a timeless character that suits the age of the home. At the same time, modern conveniences — like updated appliances, a coffee bar and well-equipped cabinets — add comfort and functionality.
