Boston Kitchen Designer: Thanksgiving Kitchens We Love
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, let’s talk kitchens—the heart of the home. As a Boston kitchen designer, I’ve tackled some pretty unforgettable projects. Some are fresh, others historic, and a few date back to my earliest work. While some of these projects no longer grace my portfolio, they hold a special place in my design journey. Let’s dive into some standout spaces from a collection of our work.
New Portfolio Addition: Our Concord Kitchen
Our latest kitchen project, featured in Boston Home Magazine’s Winter 2025 issue, highlights clever design and sustainability. Instead of gutting the historic space, we refaced existing cabinets with sleek slab panels and added discreet edge pulls. The island’s bold black paint contrasts beautifully with the existing white cabinets. We added modern leather stools and chic Allied Maker pendants. This kitchen renovation in Concord perfectly balances contemporary style with New England charm. See more of this classic New England home here. We also lent a hand to create some cool outdoor spaces too!
Classic Sage Green in Winchester
This lovely Winchester kitchen design paired soft green cabinets with salvaged oak open shelving for a timeless, rustic look. A custom island doubles as prep space and a dining table—functional and family-friendly. Designed for the home of a professional chef, the space reflects the old-world charm that perfectly matches the historic character of the house. Though no longer on my portfolio, this design remains a favorite and was even featured in Design New England, a Boston interior design magazine once owned by The Boston Globe that is sadly no longer in circulation.
South Boston Simplicity
A South Boston renovation features fumed oak cabinets, blending natural wood with a small-tile backsplash from Heath Ceramics. The grand walnut-topped island includes bowed elements—an artisan detail designed to prevent splitting while adding rustic charm. A custom oak pantry unit, crafted to resemble furniture, houses all the dry goods with style and functionality. This stunning kitchen, built by Jim Burke of Cambridgeport Construction, was proudly featured in Boston Home Magazine.
South Boston Loft Kitchen Renovation: Timeless Simplicity
When it comes to design, simplicity often leads to the most timeless results. For this South Boston loft kitchen renovation, we were working in an old brick loft building and aimed to create a space that’s both stylish and renter-friendly. Walnut and white cabinets strike the perfect balance between warmth and modernity, complemented by a simple backsplash. This minimalist approach ensures the kitchen feels like it jives with the loft’s industrial character while remaining adaptable for future tenants.
