Marigold Revival Kitchen Remodel - Fairmount

Tucked into Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood, this 1930s-inspired kitchen remodel was designed for homeowners who truly love to cook. Working within just 80 square feet, the space was carefully reimagined to support serious, everyday cooking while honoring the home’s original character.

By relocating the entryway to the center of the wall, removing the soffit, and thoughtfully closing off a window, we unlocked the opportunity for full-height custom cabinetry and dramatically increased storage without sacrificing warmth or soul. A bold Gambol Gold cabinet palette sets the tone, balanced by grounding materials chosen for both beauty and durability: walnut-finished floors, a refurbished original 1930s walnut door, creamy zellige backsplash tiles, warm white walls, and traditional bronze cabinet hardware.

A vintage-inspired bronze bridge faucet paired with a classic farmhouse sink nods to the home’s era, while a timeless Schoolhouse light fixture adds character overhead. High-performance Fisher & Paykel appliances — including a sleek induction range — support the homeowners’ culinary lifestyle, seamlessly blending modern capability with period-inspired design. The result is a true revival: a compact kitchen tailored to how its owners live, cook, and gather every day.
