“There was a lot of talking that we were going to have cocktails when this thing was over, that’s for sure,” Melanie joked.“In April, Thomas came with me,” Melanie said. “He walked in and right away said, ‘No, you need to do the kitchen, too.’ ” Homeowner Melanie Tucker points out details of the recently renovated kitchen in her Alamo Heights, home while designer Monica Beyer looks on.Nine decades old, the home retains much of its original charm despite having undergone previous renovatations. Most every room has wide, detailed crown molding and large baseboards, for example, and much of the flooring is oak. The kitchen floor is hand-painted, giving it a checkerboard look.
