If you're anything like me, just the thought of a contemporary, white, high gloss kitchen in a gorgeous, Victorian-style home is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
It's one of the greatest crimes in modern design, and at one point, it seemed to sweep the nation. For inexplicable reasons, some sort of mass delusion entered the brains of homeowners and convinced them that the one thing their beautiful period property needed above all else was a soulless, builder-grade modern kitchen. Sorrow of sorrows, a travesty to end all travesties (am I being too dramatic?), as a result, we've been left with countless homes zapped of all personality. Those lovely little period features we're all obsessed with? Plastered over, or worse, removed in entirety.
