This young couple’s appreciation for historic design and love of cooking didn’t jibe with the finishes in their 1990s Colonial-style home or the small work area in their kitchen. They hired Lynda and Jessica Caccamo, a mother-daughter interior design team, to help them achieve a highly functional kitchen with a historic look.

The designers opened up the kitchen to the dining room, then swapped them, putting the new kitchen in the original dining room space and vice versa. The resulting design has a traditional historic style, featuring soft green kitchen cabinetry, a large island, a dining room wet bar, ample storage and plenty of room for the couple to prepare dinner together.

After: Arnold had the house re-sided with a highly durable textured aluminum product that, painted an almost black charcoal gray, resembles shou-sugi-ban (Japanese-style charred wood siding). She paired it with a new black standing-seam metal roof.

Arnold also had the overgrown vegetation along the front of the home removed and added a poured-in-place concrete paver pathway.

The exterior architecture of the home remained largely the same, including the windows, some of which have an unusual pivot-slide function.

“They’re really beautiful,” Arnold says. “You’re not really going to get any made like that again.”

Exterior paint: Iron Ore, Sherwin-Williams
