There are times when, if you pay close attention, a house will tell you what it needs. Such was the case in this Orlando home.

Hunch on a Hutch
Worn from nearly 80 years of use, this diminutive kitchen begged for a complete makeover. Complicating matters, prior remodeling projects had done little to preserve its innate quaintness. With standard, dingy cabinets and outdated appliances, the space no longer belonged among the home's other inviting rooms.

One item that somehow remained through all of the remodeling projects--a handsome, built-in hutch--provided just enough evidence of the kitchen's past attributes. "It was this piece that gave us the inspiration for renovating the whole kitchen," explains homeowner Lisa Poole. She and husband David were determined to revive the 1920s character of both their kitchen and house while making the place fully compatible for today's living.
