Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If your next big home improvement includes a kitchen remodel, you’re probably thinking of new countertops, cabinets, appliances, and the whole shebang. If you have a historic home, an ultra modern kitchen might look a little odd, but you can find lots of cabinet makers that specialize in period styles. This way you get new and modern with a look that fits the time period your house was built in. Most styles can still accommodate those ultra popular granite countertops, and you can decide whether you want to show off stainless steel appliances or get cabinetry that hides the refrigerator, dishwasher, etc. so that they blend in with the rest of the cabinets. (After all, such things obviously weren’t a part of historic kitchens.)

These Shaker-style kitchen cabinets are from Crown Point Cabinetry, a company that specializes in hand-crafted, period-style pieces for kitchens, bathrooms, and other living areas. In addition to Shaker, they do Arts & Crafts, Victorian, and Early American styles. If you’re looking for ideas on how to give your new kitchen a historic flair, there are quite a few pictures you can browse through on their site.
