Serene in Green

The owners of this historic home were hoping to bring their 1916 residence into the 21st century with an updated and personalized kitchen. With a goal of increasing storage space, The Hands of Sean Perry Co. got to work installing new cabinetry, backsplash tile and shelves — including a tall, shallow-depth cabinet for easy-to-reach storage in front of the home’s existing chimney and an under-cabinet shelf similar to the home’s original design.

Below the shelf, the team installed a farmhouse-style sink and Corian countertops for a sleek new look — and, to provide striking contrast with the white cabinetry, tile and appliances, they installed vibrant emerald island pendants and wallpaper dotted with a fun, fern leaf pattern.

In addition to a renovated kitchen, the homeowners also tasked the crew with a few energy and comfort improvements to the basement and crawlspace, as well as updates to the home’s exterior, including replacing the fascia and trim along the roof, repairing the existing doors and screens and giving the whole home a fresh coat of paint for increased curb appeal.
