Bringing together the old and the new is one of the most rewarding aspects of designing a remodel in a historic home. Valerie kept original design elements like the brick vent stack to add character to the space. “We didn’t have to keep it, but I like the story it tells of this old house,” she says. “Plus, I like the color and texture that it brings to the kitchen, so it made sense to incorporate it.”
