Heritage Range Kitchen

June 6, 2010 by Jane F 3 Comments

heritage range kitchen - white renovated kitchen with black Bertazzoni range - Amy K via AtticmagThe focal point for this white kitchen: a show-stopping black Bertazzoni heritage range.

Amy K. was living in Shanghai, China without access to shelter magazines while she planned the renovation of St. Paul, Minnesota kitchen in an 1889 house.  Using internet design sources (including Atticmag we’re happy to report!) as well as our beloved Gardenweb kitchen forum, this mother of two teenage boys pulled off a stunning transformation in her 15- x 11-foot space. black and white renovated kitchen with black Bertazzoni heritage range - Amy K via Atticmag

The result: a glorious classic black-and-white kitchen with a show-stopping focal point: her black Bertazzoni Heritage range an all-gas 36-inch stove installed with practical open pass-through spaces on each side. Of all the stove set ups I’ve seen, this is unique: it frames a gorgeous (and affordable) range, lets in additional light, and creates a pair functional pass-through openings that serve the needs of an active family.

I plate the food and hand it through, and the kids stack dirty dishes there to relay them to the sink.”

She reused the existing dishwasher in the dark oak kitchen [above] but completely reconfigured the “not very large” space.  “We would not have had a spot for the range if we had left it with an “L” plus island. It would have meant putting either the sink or range in the island. I was really firm in my resolve to have a big, clear island surface.” after view of black and white kitchen with black Bertazzoni heritage range and replacement window - Amy K via Atticmag
The gleaming counters coordinate with the range and are pointed up by her choice of Zodiaq Mystic Black quartz which, she explains, is “charcoal gray with very subtle sparkly flecks.” The existing Kitchen Aid (here in the old kitchen)  made a successful transition to the new.  “It works well and I couldn’t justify a new, paneled, one,” Amy told us.

Locally made wood-tone cabinets were used for the island and a built-in storage hutch. “Nothing is level in this house,” Amy says. The cabinet makers “had to fuss and fudge endlessly to fit everything in and then trim it out.” They “were geniuses!” Cabinets were painted in Benjamin Moore’s Bone White to coordinate with woodwork throughout the house. The tall cabinet to the left of the range that opens into  the pass-through window is an appliance garage. The others around and above are used to store oils, spices and infrequently used serving dishes and vases. The stainless range guard and utensil rail are from Bertazzoni. “The rail matches the range handles which is something that no one else would probably ever notice — but I do!” Amy notes.  The kitchen also opens into a family room. before view of hutch wall in the black and white kitchen with black Bertazzoni heritage range - Amy K via Atticmag

The old, L-shape kitchen had a cooktop and wall ovens. Amy K exchanged those for a 36-inch range. built in French door fridge in the black and white kitchen with black Bertazzoni heritage range - Amy K via Atticmag

A  Thermador French-door refrigerator with interior hinges is concealed by cabinet panels and fits flush. “This is one of the few things I bit the bullet and spent money on,” Amy explains.  Pendant lights are from Hinkley. view of the island and fridge in the black and white kitchen with black Bertazzoni heritage range - Amy K via Atticmag

Light coming through the leaded window is reflected on the fridge wall. The handsome stools pulled up to the island counter,  from Pier 1,  “were an icky brown so I painted them black,” Amy says. In addition to the range style, the heritage and beauty of this kitchen clearly results from the owner’s superb eye for detail.

    Just beautiful – I’m currently giving the Bertazzoni Hertitage some serious consideration for my new kitchen. Thanks for the great before/after’s.
