Flooring

When the kitchen's original wood floor proved too damaged to rehab, the owners opted to replace it with durable, budget-savvy Marmoleum tiles (linoleum tiles made primarily from natural raw materials) in two colors. Laid on the diagonal, the generous-size tiles visually enhance the kitchen, making it seem larger. DuFresne extended the pale flooring into the adjacent pantry area—formerly a make-shift storage space with rickety shelves—for cohesiveness. Yellow walls and more white beadboard also help link the orderly pantry to the kitchen. When guests arrive—coats and hats are hung on a peg rack opposite the lofty pantry cabinet.
