Modern/old kitchen

9 år siden

Hi
My wife and I have just bought a 1920s cottage. The dilemma I'm having is the kitchen. It's a totally blank canvas as you can see. Was after some ideas of doing it up. I like modern kitchens but I also want to keep the character of the house. Does anyone have any suggestions on style? Any help would be great thank you

Simple shaker cabinets can look either vintage or modern depending on the style of hardware you use. Plus that was the style of cabinetry used in many kitchens in the 1920's, so even if you make all other elements modern (hardware, appliances, fixtures, etc) the kitchen can be in harmony with the rest of your house.

I feel that it is totally ok to redo an older house with a modern kitchen.....
Take everything out and start fresh with a new floor plan.

Especially if the kitchen is more separated from the rest of the house.

Hej Sofie Nu kan jeg ikke se detaljerne helt tæt på, men umiddelbart ser den ud til at være lavet efter rigtige møbelsnedkertraditioner, og i så fald synes sådan et træmenneske som jeg, at det er synd at male den. I stedet kan du slibe den og give den olie. Er ridserne i toppladen meget dybe, så de ikke forsvinder ved at slibe lidt på dem, kan du give dem vand og se om træet rejser sig. Her er lidt vejledning til det ene og det andet: • Tag en svamp med lunket vand og gør ridserne våde lidt efter lidt, sådan at når du kan se at ridsen suger vandet, så giv den lidt mere, indtil det virker som om der ikke bliver suget mere vand til. Lad møblet stå og tørre til dagen efter. • Tag noget sandpapir, f.eks. korn 120, og slip hele møblet. Slib med åreretningen. Afslut evt. med sandpapir korn 180 eller 200, hvis du kan se at der er kommet små fine ridser af behandlingen med det første sandpapir. • Tør slibestøvet af med en tør klud, eller støvsug med et børstehovede. Tag derefter en god linolie (Jeg kan sælge dig en uden tilsætningsstoffer), dyn snippen af en bomuldsklud (gamle t-shirts eller gammelt bomuldslinned er perfekt) i olien og smør møblet ind. Når du er nået til enden smører du lige hele møblet ind en gang til. Vent 15-30 min. og tør al overskydende olie af med en tør klud. Træets struktur bliver fremhævet og gløden dybere. • Vent 24 timer før du tørrer hele møblet af med en fugtig klud. Nu er dit møbel som nyt! :-) Træ er bæredygtigt og uforgængeligt, hvis du passer på det. Nyd det :-D

Her er en af de mere enkle 'før og efter' projekter, som tydeligt viser, hvordan man med lyse farver og moderne elementer kan transformere et køkken på en stilfuld måde. Dette her projekt er lavet af britiske kitchenflair preston og hele projektet kan ses [her.[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/little-kitchen-project-to-a-bright-feminine-open-kitchen-dsvw-vd~3908760) FØR: EFTER:

I kan lave en ny sokkel ovenpå den gamle hylde - hvis det giver mening. Hvis den nuværende hylde kan holde en ovn, kan den også holde en ovn + lidt ekstra sokkel :) Jeg ville bygge soklen af noget MDF (eller andet billigt træ) og nogle vinkelbeslag, male den i nogenlunde samme farve som skabet, og så ligesom “skubbe” den på plads på hylden, og sætte ovnen ovenpå. Hvis i bygger den i en stil a lá nedenfor, vil i kunne integrere en ny hylde under ovnen til patentglas/andet samtidig med at konstruktionen er mere end stærk nok til at holde en ovn. Det der ville bekymre mig ved hyldeknægt-metoden er om hylden ville begynde at bøje på midten, - så uanset hvad ville jeg indbygge noget støtte i midten i en eller anden form

Jane Powell's Bungalow Kitchens is a great guide for inspiration and details. Take cues from the original time period and incorporate modern finishes and details (lighting/plumbing fixtures/cabinet details) to get your kitchen to blend with the house. A well constructed ideabook with notes will help you get there. I would love to see the whole space. It appears that that there is more natural light to work with on wall opposite the window. A sky light might help open it up as well. Are all the walls staying as is? Will you post more pictures please?

Congratulations on your new house. Do you have more photos? Will your budget cover a complete redo all at once or will you be doing the work in stages?

Search for "unfitted kitchen" both here and the internet in general. You may find some ideas that fit your cottage perfectly. I am personally tired of kitchens with rows and rows of cabinets.

I do hope you can keep the floor, it looks lovely. I agree with the unfitted kitchen. Old fashions looking crocks and kitchen wear is now in the shops. So it would be easy to dress the room with old and new. I just love the little curtains they used to have below a sink. My Aunt's kitchen in Cornwall had this and a huge built in (Very tall) cupboard. The old mangle washing machine was in the corner. I'm NOT that old - My mum had a front loader so imagine my joy at being allowed to stay with my auntie on wash day.

This is a modern old kitchen that we finished. Cabinets and shelves were custom built to create the look of an old kitchen.

If you haven't tackled it yet I also have to support the idea of an unfitted kitchen. Check out Unfitted.co.uk for some great ideas. One cost-saving advantage is that you may not even have to do much more than paint the walls - if they are not in really bad shape. The (myth of)perfectly flat walls found in new construction might not even be desirable with the unfitted decor.

We intend to change out kitchen to an unfitted kitchen in the future (probably way into the future, the paying work keeps getting in the way). We are collecting furniture that can be used in the kitchen for storage vs. cabinets. We search salvage places, antique dealers, garage sales, craig's list, etc. Don't rule out old dressers for storage and counter top space, hosiers, secretaries for china cabinets, etc.

Can you provide a few more photos of the adjoining spaces so we can see whether it's possible to open up the kitchen to dining/living area especially if this is a vacation or weekend place. Do you envision congregating in an open living/dining/cooking area or are you restricted on space? What's your budget? (I've been impressed in a vacation rental by the Ikea shaker cabinets. Don't know how long ago they were purchased, but the quality and look were impressive for the price.)

If your kitchen is going to be a small U-shape, Google U-shaped kitchen. Some upper open shelves can work well in tight spaces, and there are all sorts of appliance sizes that can fit into small spaces. Let us know how you plan to use the cottage--full-time or part-time, rental/personal use?

Yes modernize the kitchen people live old houses but nothing ls kitchens. We had one like this and did white cabinets and black granite counter and small black and white ceramic tile floor. It looked fabulous and we flipped it on the first day on market.
