We recently featured Shapeless Studio’s Clinton Hill project, where an original 1867 Italianate structure is just starting its remodeling journey. The architects’ take on the parlor floor includes a simple and elegant kitchen complete with a solid oak bar; here, we detail the key elements to recreate the look.
