Garth Cottage Kitchen
The Jewelry
that Finishes
the Room
Rooted in tradition and reimagined for family
life, this Baltimore kitchen finds its voice in
refined design and the perfect patina.
Amid the quiet charm of his 1928 Colonial Revival home in Baltimore, architect J.E. Schram designed a kitchen that gracefully honors tradition while embracing the rhythm of modern family life.The space is a study in contrast and continuity—where classical details, like cabinetry that echoes the home’s original millwork, meet sculptural contemporary elements, including a softly bowed plaster hood. At the heart of this harmony is a suite of Classic Brass hardware in Revere Tarnish, chosen for its ability to stand boldly against deep finishes while feeling enduring rather than new. The Chautauqua collection, alongside Apres edge pulls and custom edge-guards, brings a refined presence that settles effortlessly into the architecture.
Vintage Charm
With no butler’s pantry separating the kitchen from the formal dining room, the hardware had to bridge two worlds: functional and refined. Schram selected pieces that elevate the cabinetry with quiet confidence—what he calls “the jewelry of the space.” Classic Brass, a long-time favorite in his design practice, finally found its place in his own home—bringing warmth, patina, and just the right amount of polish.
We couldn’t be happier with our hardware
selection. Classic Brass is one of those things
I’ve introduced clients to for years and dreamt
of having a bit for myself. Everything from
cabinet hardware to cremone bolts…
we can’t get enough of it!
