Interior designer Summer Thornton took a masculine approach to the remodel of an early 1900s French Tudor in Evergreen Park, Illinois. The house was overhauled for a single man—one who likes to entertain—and the plan allows for ample growth and plenty of guests. With its classic French range and industrial accents, the grand-scale kitchen is a healthy mix of modern warmth and ruggedness. A long marble-topped island runs down the center of the eat-in kitchen ending with a circular dining table. Large baskets tucked below the island add an extra layer of storage in the kitchen. Thornton’s firm designed and built all the cabinetry, including the columns of rustic open shelves on either side of the range.
