Nearly every house at the recent Naglee Park home tour in downtown San Jose had a remodeled kitchen, and all of them had something special. Which one do you like best? 

This kitchen, with the chandelier over the kitchen sink and the white table in the breakfast nook, looks right out of the 1930s.  It’s the home of Cindy and Phil Olow and was built in 1903 by Wolfe & McKenzie. The kitchen was “gently updated” with new counters, but the cabinets are original.

Tin Ceiling Kitchen in Eclectic Shingle Style House

The kitchen of this 1905 eclectic shingle-style home, remodeled by architect Steve Hinderberger of Hindesign, added subway tile and new counters, but preserved the great pass-through window to the deck.   Owners Mike Howerton and Gary Rucker  helped install the cool tin ceiling. Click here to see a backyard landscape Hinderberger  did in the Hanchett neighborhood.

This wonderful kitchen of a 1911 neoclassical bungalow has been featured in “Bungalow Kitchens” because of its unique cove ceilings. When owners Lori and Jeffrey Leonard, the fourth owners of the home, moved the old refrigerator, they were surprised to find a pass-through to the dining room.

 

 

 

The owners of this 1904 eclectic neoclassical house remodeled the kitchen to include black soapstone counters and craftsman-style cabinetry. Lori Littleford and her husband, John Pearson, found hardware for the cabinets at Briarwood antiques on W. San Carlos in San Jose.

Which kitchen do you like best? Anyone dreaming of a kitchen remodel?
