Kitchen Renovations to a Victorian Home in the Historical Montrose Section of South Orange, NJ. A collaboration between Clawson Architects + Clawson Cabinets + an owner who has a career writing about “Designy Things!” Once a finishing school for girls this expansive Victorian had a kitchen in desperate need of updating. The new owners wanted something cheerful, that picked up on the details of the original home, and yet they wanted it to honor their more modern lifestyle. A new open stair allows the family to flow from the outdoors or kitchen into the basement. Painting of a Sicilian Market and the Underground sign on the exposed brick wall recall the homeowners’ roots.
