We’re an easy sell for a renovated kitchen in a characterful space. Take this new kitchen in a 1970s A-frame house in Springs, New York, for example. The owners worked with Space Theory, a simplified and affordable offshoot of Henrybuilt, to design a modern kitchen within the existing knotty pine paneling. Here’s a list of sources for the key elements that make up the look.
