26 | Oregon Home “The kitchen was the most significant transformation, redesigned to respect the home’s historic character while introducing the modern elements the homeowners loved,” Deacon says. “We matched the original wood floors for continuity, then reworked the entire layout to improve storage, counter space and circulation.” Load-bearing walls between the kitchen and dining room were replaced with concealed ceiling beams, allowing walls to be open and shifted to unify what had been a fragmented space. The result is a bright, functional kitchen featuring full-height storage, a sculptural brass hood, a soapstone island with a statement pendant above, and a dedicated beverage station—all coming together as the true heart of the home. Heath Ceramics tile in two colorways brings definition and a pop of rich color while keeping the space bright.
