Kitchen of the week: Tommy Smythe’s kitchen

This delicious kitchen designed by Tommy Smythe, co-host of Sarah’s house is very much like a perfect dessert where the red vintage lantern plays the role of a cherry on the cake.  Tommy revamped a  classic Victorian home in what he calls the new “Victorian look” and I can see why.  Painting the molding kitchen cabinets with three very traditional colors, paneling the ceiling and using red throughout is a genius way to modernize the Victorian style.  The beautiful floor is painted in a Roman style geometric pattern.  That custom made range hood, how handsome with that gleaming brass accent!

This kitchen has all the thoughtful details, from the gray grouts between the ceiling-high subway tiles that gives it an older feel to the brackets under the cabinets that add more Victorian ornamentation to the style.

A kitchen with a sitting area like this is not an average one.  I love how Tommy used black wood instead of an old-looking and Victorian era mahogany color.  The chair and tufted red sofa make a nod to Victorian style as well, but in a very updated way.  The floor to ceiling tiles add another beautiful layer.

    Wow this is a fabulous kitchen! Love how Tommy painted the large caning black with a light interior what looks to be wall covering in a small print. Lovely piece
    The furniture and bits of red, really make the space

    Of course I love the black island:) And the red lantern is unexpected but it works….very pretty! Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love the kitchen and the hood and red lantern…just think the floor is too loud for everyday… which might not be so in person. Great sitting area.
