As you may have seen in my latest Reel, I just completed a renovation for a 100-year-old bungalow in Southwest Atlanta. This kitchen has great bones (and amazing ceiling height) but had been badly flipped by a previous owner, so it lost its historic charm. I wanted to bring back classic elements to the space while improving functionality and creating a brighter, more inviting workspace for my clients who love to cook. While we retained the cabinetry for this round of renovations, the upper cabinets moved a few inches up the wall to capitalize on the height of the room while keeping them within reach. This made room for a marble shelf with brass brackets, adding easy-to-reach storage for everyday essentials and bringing a charming, old-school architectural detail to the kitchen. The lowers were painted Farrow & Ball's iconic Hague Blue (similar to Behr's Nocturne Blue I used in this kitchen design), and the walls were painted in Sherwin-William's Alabaster white paint color. I mixed metals in the space for a traditional look and used local Polycor Georgia marble for a truly timeless material on the perimeter countertops that will age beautifully.
