This kitchen in Hoboken, New Jersey represents how timeless design and precision craftsmanship can revive the character of a historic home.
Our goal was to create a bright, functional space that complements the original architecture while integrating today’s convenience and performance.
Preserving Character, Elevating Function
Every element in this kitchen was designed to honor the home’s traditional charm — from the paneled doors to the crown-molded vent hood.
The central island, painted in a soft white finish, serves as both a cooking hub and a social anchor for family gatherings.
✨ Key details:
- Handcrafted shaker-style cabinets
- Hardwood maple interiors and solid face frames
- Custom island with built-in microwave and integrated ventilation
- Polished wood flooring restored to its original luster
“Designing for historic homes means balancing proportion and personality.
We don’t copy the past — we reinterpret it with care.”

Expert Insight — Color, Texture & Light
Choosing white cabinetry in a space with rich hardwood floors creates instant visual contrast and amplifies natural light.
Warm undertones from the floor bring balance and keep the kitchen from feeling sterile.
Designer Tip:
If your home has vintage floors or brick details, pair them with satin-white cabinetry and brushed-nickel hardware — this contrast highlights the home’s structure while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.
Built to Last — Materials and Craftsmanship
Each cabinet is built from premium hardwood and furniture-grade plywood, finished with catalyzed paint for long-term durability.
Soft-close hardware, dovetail drawers, and integrated trim detailing ensure both longevity and luxury.
For clients who need a quicker turnaround or standardized sizing, our Semi-Custom Cabinet Line offers flexibility in size, finish, and any Sherwin-Williams color.
From Vision to Installation
This Hoboken project started as a design consultation — our team created 3D renderings to align cabinetry proportions with existing architectural lines.
From the first sketch to the final installation, we managed every step to guarantee a perfect fit.
