Congress Park Renovation
When it came to the task of renovating a century year old home, Joyce Clegg was up to the challenge. Clegg, principal designer and owner of Daydream Incorporated, specializes in restoring 100 year old homes and bringing them back to their former glory. A restoration project in the Congress Park neighborhood of Denver was no exception. Built in 1915, the “bones were good”, but after several years of bad renovations, plumbing where it didn’t belong and the presence of asbestos and lead in the ceiling, pipes and paint, all added to the challenge.
The kitchen was where Joyce’s talent really shined. The goal of the design was take a mix and match of various metals and transform the kitchen and give a mid-century, transitional feel that the client was a big fan of. The stainless steel Wolf range matched with a copper hood was the driving factor of the contemporary design. Embeded in the stone island countertop is an anthracite double bowl sink by Blanco. Above the sink, is a Waterstone 5300 Contemporary Pull Down Faucet with a matching soap dispenser. The faucet’s one-of-a-kind antique copper finish adds to the kitchen’s contemporary feel yet brings back the vintage look of the original home.
New windows brought in lots of new light, unusual for an older home. The leaded glass cabinets add storage that beckons back to the original 1915 design. Other improvements in the kitchen included Sub Zero appliances, unique metallic bird nest lighting, heated wood floor and a pocket door. Exotic stone countertops, and artistic, custom backsplash complete the kitchen.
