Small Brick Kitchen for Traditional, Wooden Croatian House.

My name is Pavle Loncar. My family in Zagreb wanted to improve our beautiful, traditional, wooden house located on our property. House was built in 1841 and was preserved in past with original construction and some improvements.
Kitchen was primitive in that time so small kitchen element has been added in past. By my opinion it needed something new but built traditionally, not modern or fancy.
I used old bricks removed from demolished barn, with Ikea wooden counter, sink and electric plate.
Real challenge was to incorporate counter for dining as there was not enough space for table with chairs.

Idea was to make small kitchen from old bricks, together with counter for dining due to small space. Also, floor would need new tiles.





First time I worked with bricks so it was a challenge.





Help from my daughter Antonela.
