A Unique Kitchen Makeover



While the photos of this kitchen makeover are quite stunning, it's the historical aspect connected to the space that has me completely enthralled, as this is the childhood home of chef extraordinaire Julia Child. Houzz writer Laura Gaskill did a great write up on the entire renovation, including how current homeowner Kristin Harrison went about the process with Julia in mind -- everything from the Wedgewood vintage stove to the Tiffany Blue painted-ceilings were done as an homage to her -- so if you have a few moments I'd recommend hopping over there for the full read. Included are some great before & after snapshots as well. But for now, here are some gorgeous photos of the makeover that I cannot get enough of:

Oh my goodnes, this is perfection! Julia was such an icon for every aspiring domestic goddess! I've just finished reading her autobiography, and it's wonderful to see the actual house she once lived in! The makeover is quite stunning!
