1920's Craftsman Bungalow Kitchen

In the planning stage, we considered tearing out the chimney in the corner. It had been plastered over and we assumed it would be something unattractive beneath. On an exploratory whim, the owner began to chip away at the plaster, he quickly discovered the used brick. A potential demolition project quickly became and "archaeological dig" as the owner carefully chipped away the plaster and wire-brushed the used brick to expose it's character. It turned out to be a great feature. Photo: Warren Smith, CMKBD, CAPS
