West Buffalo Street Kitchen
The Finger Lakes meets Miami in this modern, eat-in kitchen renovation. Originally built in 1885 as workforce housing, the original kitchen in the Italianate, two-story house was crammed and dark. Rocco Design + Build opened the kitchen by knocking down the wall that separated it from the living room and removing the dropped ceiling that had been added in a 1950s renovation.
A new backsplash of oversized white subway tiles, a black quartz countertop, locally-sourced, custom walnut shelves, and a pop of jungle-inspired wallpaper surrounding the range hood, helps make this kitchen the the favorite room in the house.
