Contemporary craftsman: A kitchen and dining room remodel updates

Article Abstract:

Architect Shorieh Talaat takes up the project of remodeling a 1910 Craftsman home's kitchen and dining room worth $300,000 and completes it in little over one year. Gleaming cabinets of blond maple trimmed in red Honduran mahogany and ebonises walnut are the central features of the new kitchen and a classic Craftsman feature columned half-wall, that serves as a sideboard and pass-through to open up sight lines and letting in more natural lights, is created.
