Before and After — This Small Kitchen Makeover Transformed a Dark and Dreary Galley

A kitchen with a veined backsplash, antique knobs and a white palette.

This 1900s row house located in DC's historic Georgetown's East Village is a vintage jewel. It's a home with good bones, and the crown molding, wainscoting, and original hardwood floors have stood the test of time, making most of the rooms in the home feel timeless.

There was, however, one space that stood out as particularly dated — the dark, unwelcoming galley kitchen. But for interior designer Sara Swabb of Storie Collective, it was an opportunity to revitalize the space. A fresh new palette, unique material scheme, and smart storage solutions make this small galley is now almost unrecognizable.
