Traditional Colonial Kitchen
An Early 1800's Dayton, Ohio Schoolhouse Gets a New Life
The client purchased a one-room 1800s schoolhouse in Dayton, Ohio, with the dream of converting it into a cozy, functional home. As part of the renovation, the client wanted to incorporate an Edwardian-style kitchen that reflected the charm and elegance of the early 1800s, while still serving modern needs.
With the small space, a galley-style kitchen was chosen to maximize functionality without compromising the aesthetic. The kitchen design also included an eat-in kitchen area, creating a perfect place for family gatherings and meals.
Key Features of the Traditional Colonial Kitchen Design:
Oversized cupboard pantry to provide ample storage space and hide small appliances
Farm sink as a focal point, adding both function and traditional Colonial charm
Pull-out trash and compost bin for easy waste management and eco-friendly living
Solid maple countertops for a durable and timeless finish
The design successfully merges the kitchen's historical inspiration with modern convenience, creating a warm and inviting space perfect for both daily use and entertaining.
Transforming an 1800s Schoolhouse into a Modern Home
By maintaining the historical integrity of the schoolhouse while incorporating Edwardian and Colonial elements, the design brings the space into the 21st century without losing its charm. The client now enjoys a beautifully designed kitchen that reflects the home's history while offering all the functionality of a modern home.
