Victorian Kitchen Restoration
Watch how this Victorian kitchen is restored with a combination of vintage, salvaged and new materials in this DIY Network video:
As nothing in the kitchen is original, the homeowners decided to tear almost everything out, so demolition was the first step. Features of this renovation included:
- Installation of new dry wall
- Repair of the hardwood floors
- Repainting the walls
- Installation of salvaged cabinets
- Addition of a tin backsplash
As a Victorian kitchen would not have granite or travertine countertops, butcher block was the perfect choice.
After installing new appliances, the end result is a kitchen with a modern feel but with old world charm.
