In the basement I could see framing for a fireplace above. When I gutted part of the kitchen area I discovered it. I constructed a mantle out of plywood and trimmed it with glass bead, the top piece is a salvaged piece from the 1850's.

This kitchen is in a 2 family house that was a neglected rental property for many years. It was in really poor shape. I gutted as litlle as possible and did all the work my self including the counter fabrication and plastering the walls to achieve an historic feel. The result is an elegant and classic yet simple up-dated kitchen.

Want to see the winner entries?
Fine Homebuilding editors are a finicky bunch, and opinionated too. So the task of narrowing down the nearly 150 entries from our “Before and After: What’s Old is New Again,” kitchen and bath contest to just five winners wasn’t easy.
After the field was narrowed down to a group of fifteen, the editors convened with coffee and notebooks into a conference room equipped with a projector (for easier viewing). After going back and forth, and sometimes cringing, a few entries kept rising above the others, and viola, we found our winners.
Thanks to all who entered, and congratulations to the winning participants who will be mailed a new, DeWalt 18V 1/2" XRP LiIon Hammerdrill/Drill/Driver kit.
