letter from the pres ident

message from the 2010 tour of k i tchens cha ir Welcome to the 13th Annual Junior League of Atlanta Tour of Kitchens! Through your support and that of our sponsors and kitchen designers, the Tour has raised more than one million dollars since its beginning to aid League sponsored community initiatives.

The Tour of Kitchens allows you inside private homes to see the latest in kitchen design. Whether you are interested in remodeling or updating your kitchen or just appreciate unique design, the Tour gives you access to working designer kitchens and ideas from the latest

appliances and cabinetry to counter-top and paint color choices. This event also puts you in the company of some of Atlanta’s top chefs. Many of the kitchens on the Tour feature chef

demonstrations, where you get an up-close and personal recipe demonstration and tasting.

While you are touring beautiful homes and tasting fabulous food, you are also helping to support the mission of The Junior League of Atlanta, which is to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We appreciate every Tour of Kitchens ticket purchased because the proceeds from this wonderful event help fund our mission-based programs to improve the lives of women and children in Atlanta.

So please, enjoy the Tour! We thank you for your support of The Junior League of Atlanta and for helping us make a difference in the Atlanta community!

On the behalf of the Junior League of Atlanta, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the 13th annual Tour of Kitchens! Since 1916, the Junior League of Atlanta’s volunteer efforts have helped improve the lives of women and children in Atlanta. With nearly 4,000 members today, we remain committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action of trained volunteers.

This year alone, JLA members will invest over 120,000 volunteer hours with over 90 community partners to improve the lives of women and children in Atlanta. Our volunteers

will provide services such as therapeutic recreation activities for children with disabilities, counseling at a bereavement camp, mentoring middle school Latina girls, and working in the Teen

Center, Emergency Room and Special Care Nursery for Grady Hospital. This is an incredible feat when you consider that 90% of our active members are employed! And while the JLA Tour of Kitchens is an

incredible resource for those who are looking to remodel or build a kitchen, its most important role is to provide critical dollars to fund the work that JLA volunteers do in the community, and support the training that allows our members to be community leaders today and in the years to come.

Of course the JLA Tour of Kitchens could not happen without the tremendous effort of approximately 60 League members who donate their time to produce the Tour. To our fabulous Chair Marsha Sims and her fantastic committee, I extend a well-deserved and resounding Thank You! Your enthusiasm, commitment, and leadership have made the 13th Tour of Kitchens an incredible success! I would also like to give a special thanks to our longtime partner, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, and in particular Brad Hanner for, year after year, providing his extraordinary expertise!

As you enjoy this outstanding weekend of kitchens, please remember that all of the money raised directly supports our mission-based programs to improve the lives of women and children in Atlanta.

Thank you for supporting the Junior League of Atlanta. Enjoy the Tour!

CHEf SCoTT SERpAS, SERpAS TRuE fooDSouth Louisiana native and Executive Chef Scott Serpas has a flair for carving out a style all his own, garnering attention of diners and critics alike. An expatriated Atlantan, Serpas has embarked on his first independent restaurant venture, Serpas True Food, located in the historic Old Fourth Ward.

Best described as “True Food,” the innovative American dishes encompass fresh ingredients that emit comforting flavors. Serpas enjoyed cooking with his Louisiana family daily, cultivating a culinary

philosophy that is centered around single ingredients and natural flavors. This ideology continues to drive his cooking style and is showcased on the menu of the restaurant.

CHEf CARvEL GRANT GouLD, CANoEAtlanta native Carvel Grant Gould has always had a passion for cooking and preparing tasty meals. It is evident in Gould’s cooking that she has an innate culinary sense with a remarkable eye and palate, which is why she was named Executive Chef of Canoe Restaurant in 2005. She loves to work with anything fresh, especially local vegetables, fresh seafood, and seasonal ingredients.

Gould references Julia Child as a profound culinary influence, stating, “You have to respect Julia Child because of what she was and what she stood for.” Gould is proud to be one of Atlanta’s top female chefs and working for Canoe has given her the opportunity to cultivate and present her talents and ability.

MiTCHELL ANDERSoN & BRyAN “RoCKSTAR” KRAATz, METRofRESH Actor/Chef Mitchell Anderson and Singer/Chef Bryan “Rockstar” Kraatz make up two-thirds of the MetroFresh (www.metrofreshatl.com) tag team of chefs. Emphasizing seasonal, local ingredients, they create a daily menu of creative soups, salads, sandwiches and dinner

specials that have been keeping Midtown Atlanta healthy for four years. Surprisingly, when you put two performers in the kitchen, you don’t always get a giant clash of egos, you sometimes just get a really good show!

HEAD pizzAioLo MASSiMo ANDREozzi, fRiTTiA native of Naples, Italy, Massimo Andreozzi brings more than a decade of experience tossing and baking traditional Neapolitan pizza to his role as the Fritti Head Pizzaiolo. Andreozzi’s passion for excellence and dedication to delivering authentic flavor true to his Italian ancestry have made him a

welcome addition to the popular Inman park restaurant known for its artisanal Neapolitan pizza certified by the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association. A consummate leader with an innovative culinary palette, Andreozzi developed menus and mentored junior chefs at Napule in Polignano a Mare, Italy and also at La Riviera Pola in Spain before traveling stateside in 2007.

LiTTLE CAKE BAKERyLittle Cake Bakery specializes in

cupcakes. They bake fresh everyday and use the finest ingredients available, including Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, Valhrona Chocolate from France and Callebaut Chocolate from Belgium. They have standard daily cupcakes and also offer special flavors that change depending on what day you come in.

SuzANNE BRoWN An accomplished marketing communications professional, Suzanne is well-recognized for her expertise in the international coffee and tea industries. She is a published writer, quoted expert, marketing consultant, media spokesperson and invited speaker at world conferences. She is known as the “go to” person for insight on cross-cultural marketing and industry trends. www.browncommunications.us

DANCiNG GoATS By BATDoRf & BRoNSoNBatdorf & Bronson’s success has been based on the vision of total quality that Larry and Cherie Challain created together when they were setting out in their coffee careers and continues today in every batch of artisan-roasted Batdorf & Bronson coffee.

BREADWiNNERBreadwinner, Inc. is a family-owned gourmet bread baking company based in Atlanta. Founded by the husband-wife-sister team of Geoff, Katie, and Wendy Melkonian in 2005, Breadwinner uses recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation and every recipe is a family

recipe. Made with only the finest ingredients, offered at a reasonable price point, and matched by quality packaging, Breadwinner breads can

be shipped across the U.S. and are available at select retail outlets in Atlanta. Breadwinner has been featured on DailyCandy, the Food Network series “Road Tasted” and on NBC’s “Today” show. Visit www.breadwinnerbreads.com

SAvoR GouRMETSavor Gourmet was established in 2004 in Atlanta by husband and wife team, January and Robert Hodgson. The couple’s passion for fine gourmet food

products, hard-to-find antiques from all over the world, and a taste for all that is epicurean led them to open Savor in hopes of bringing Atlantans a taste of what they truly love- gourmet foods and flawless home furnishings. Prior to Savor’s inception, January spent her years in the food retail business and Robert Hodgson was a professional geologist. After uniting in marriage, Robert and January decided to combine their worldly experience to create Savor.

CHEf STEpHEN HERMAN, HAvENA native of Knoxville, Tenn., Herman ventured to Johnson and Wales University where he graduated magna cum laude with a degree in culinary arts. While at Johnson and Wales, Herman worked

with renowned Chef Bob Waggoner at the prestigious Charleston Grill. Soon after, Chef Joël Antunes recognized Herman’s skill and put him to work at Joël, one of Atlanta’s finest French restaurants. Chef Herman came to HAVEN at its inception and is now executive chef. At HAVEN, Herman combines seasonal meats and produce with traditional southern ingredients to create a fresh, sophisticated version of comfort food.

Along with the need in every kitchen for the perfect flow and function is the need for a wonderful focal point. It’s so important to edit the other details in order to create an amazing focal point while leaving space for the eye to rest. In the end, the space has even more continuity and presence by keeping the details to a minimum.

In this particular kitchen, the cabinets and color scheme were chosen so they would be very understated and simple. This allows the brick hood, which is architectural in nature, to take center stage. The materials selected for the hood compliment the wood beams in the kitchen and

the numerous brick accents throughout the home. With the massive brick hood as such a dramatic center piece, it was important to let that element shine and keep all of the other details clean, simple, and subtle.

In order to provide the breadth of space needed for this massive brick structure, the windows were distanced further apart than originally planned. This eliminated much of the space previously planned for wall cabinets. As a solution to maximize dish storage while eliminating the wall cabinets, a tall deep dish pantry was substituted for wall cabinets, which more than makes up for the lost wall space

diVers i f i ed cab inet distr i butors It just feels like home! It exudes warmth and comfort, and you just naturally gravitate to a seat at the island in front of the huge rustic fireplace under the high, painted bead board ceiling. But this kitchen can work hard with its built in refrigerator and freezer, pro cooking, double oven, warming drawer, micro drawer, and trash compactor – all wrapped up in simple, elegant cabinetry. Taken as a whole, this space is the meticulous expression of the homeowners’ sophisticated, yet wonderfully livable style.

The starting point was easy, move the kitchen from a small, cramped space at the front of the house to a much larger area in the adjacent family room. Then open the space from front to

back, allowing natural light to flow in at both ends, and let the new kitchen be the center of attention in this multifunctional great room.

Determining the location was just the beginning. That’s when the homeowners turned to Jeff Reed, at Diversified Cabinet Distributors, to take their wish list and turn it into reality. They had very specific ideas – a long open galley kitchen with a raised bar for seating, two sinks, professional cooking with a custom decorative hood, lots of storage, glass front cabinets for display – and all to feel like classic craftsman made furniture.

Jeff introduced the homeowners to Crystal Cabinet Works of Princeton, Minnesota, a supplier of custom furniture quality cabinetry. He worked with the homeowners’ hand drawn

sketches to incorporate their specific wants and needs into a detailed cabinet layout, and helped them finalize their finish selections – inset cabinetry using a classic Shaker door style in quarter sawn white oak blending traditional medium and dark tone stains.

Once the design was finalized, Jeff and the team at DCD worked with the homeowners to make sure that the rest of the process went smoothly. This attention to detail resulted in a remarkable space for this active family to enjoy for years to come.

A study in glamour is what the homeowner of this kitchen remodel in Sandy Springs requested – oh, and don’t forget the coffee/tea bar! Rose Hall Kitchen Galleria started the planning with all four members of the family having input.

The wall between the original kitchen and dining room came down first – creating an open floor-plan conducive to busy family life and entertaining. The repositioning of the pantry to the back of the kitchen increased storage – in a beautiful and functional format. An interesting L-shaped island positioned the cooking area with a Viking professional

range-top and double ovens conveniently along the back and also created a breakfast bar large enough to accommodate four comfortable custom designed barstools.

The designers at Rose Hall made sure the coffee/tea bar included special compartments that hide all of the equipment and supplies, beverage drawer refrigerators for cold supplies, and ample glass and cup storage. It has become the hub for morning activity and since expanded to a smoothie bar.

Where does the glamour come in? Special design elements such as a custom designed iron window to allow for ambiance and access to the wonderful backyard view, smoky antique mirror at the prep sink, hand-made glass brick backsplash and a rich dark espresso stain on cherry cabinetry. The plans and materials came

together so well, it inspired the addition of a redesigned laundry room, powder room and mud area, and the addition of new dining room furniture- all equally as sophisticated for a very fashionable family!

This new Italianate estate home designed by Harrison Design Associates (HDA) and built by Eric Johnson of E2 Development features large open areas perfect for entertaining. Michael Bell of Inspirations Kitchen & Bath worked closely with HDA’s architectural and design team to create a large kitchen that is truly the “heart of the

home,” providing professional functionality while also serving as the center for entertaining and family activities.

Drawing from the architect’s vision for an Italianate style, the Tuscan-glazed hand-crafted cabinetry with traditional inset doors and extra-thick drawer fronts enhances the clean lines of this home while extra-tall cabinets accentuate the 12’ ceilings of this majestic kitchen. The main sink is centered on a grand window that floods the kitchen with an abundance of natural light. In the cooking area, a chimney-style hood over a 48” professional range is flanked on both sides by integrated refrigerators and freezers, creating a strong focal point for this kitchen

The Italian Renaissance style is further accentuated with a generous island constructed

from Khaya Mahogany finished in a warm antique brown. The heavy doors with applied moldings along with turned posts on each corner lend a furniture-appearance to the island. This multi-functional area includes a sink for food preparation along with numerous storage solutions and a microwave drawer. The island also provides abundant seating space for informal entertaining.

An accompanying dining hutch and wet bar with wine cooler and ice maker provide the final complement to this Italianate-inspired kitchen.

The kitchen, caterer’s kitchen/butler’s pantry and outdoor kitchen are all designed to be flexible enough to accommodate all of these functions.

Two sliding panels allow the dining room to be directly connected to the caterer’s kitchen for serving or isolated for a more formal setting. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a crowd with serving at the raised counter and table or a comfortable family dinner at the table overlooking the pool. A snack is possible sitting at the counter bathed in sunlight from the skylights overhead. Of course, a candlelit dinner for two in the intimate niche or a pool side meal served from the outdoor kitchen is a pleasant way to spend a summer evening.

All of these activities happen within a space that celebrates the interplay of textures and light. Details like the back of the island, where the travertine floor wraps up the wall to meet the mosaic tile in an irregular, soft, undulating line simulating an abstract Tuscan landscape, the custom teak cabinets, and artisan lights in the summer outdoor kitchen are what make these spaces unique.

Take a minute to relax, enjoy the view, textures and light that surround you.

Located in the historic Garden Hills neighborhood, the original home was torn down and the homeowners contracted Harrison Design Associates to design a new home that would architecturally compliment the historic features of the neighborhood. Sweeney

and Son Contracting began the construction phase of the home and contracted Brooks Kitchens and Baths to design cabinetry that would have a timeless style along with all the qualities of an older historic home. To bring this concept to life, Lisa Brooks of BKB incorporated unique details into the kitchen space that would give it not only timeless style but would include modern day features.

The kitchen design reflects a historic persona by the use of classic antique white finished cabinetry, ample glass doors and extra large dental moldings. To bring some modernistic appeal to the kitchen, we selected a large

Wolf stainless steel range, an oversized custom designed hood and hidden appliances behind custom cabinet panel doors provides this modern essence. Designed for a very busy family, another unique feature of this space is the large children’s entertaining center that houses a set of Sub-Zero fridge drawers, microwave, espresso maker and hidden sink nestled in the kitchen area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large butler’s pass through to join the kitchen with the formal dining area and was designed to mimic the classic style of the kitchen.

With great attention to detail by the architect, contractor and designer, this project brought a concept to reality which adds charm to the neighborhood and enhances the lifestyle of the homeowners.

Here’s a cozy Kitchen that works in the real world. You won’t want to miss this Kitchen; it may provide just the right ideas for your renovation! A bungalow in the intown oasis of Loring Heights provides the perfect location for these busy professionals. This quaint home’s Kitchen did not accommodate the lifestyle of its owners. The cramped, outdated space was tiny, making cooking and entertaining difficult as well as lacking storage and modern amenities.

The owners turned to Distinctive Remodeling Solutions to provide a new Kitchen that would transform the home’s main level into a multi-functional environment. Without changing the home’s original footprint, Distinctive created a new layout that now includes an open floor plan, easy access to the Dining area, and more natural light. By removing a wall between the Sunroom and Kitchen, and a wall at the Dining Room, the length of the Kitchen doubled. An additional existing

kitchen window was relocated to create natural light that now bathes the space. The opened floor plan allows for easy flow with the rest of the main level.

Distinctive’s transformation, a seamless blend of old to new, melds traditional and modern resulting in a classic appeal. Warm Cherry cabinetry in a Whiskey Black finish is complemented by soothing green walls. New oak flooring expertly stained to match floors in the rest of the house, and all new stainless appliances, form an inviting aesthetic. The focal point of the room, a custom multi-colored, mosaic backsplash in hand-painted tiles above the cooktop, was a design collaboration between the homeowners and Traditions in Tile.

The new Kitchen matches both the vibrant lifestyle of intown living and cozy feel of this charming cottage. The homeowners now enjoy ease of cooking and casually entertaining friends in their new space, thoughtfully recreated by Distinctive Remodeling Solutions.

140 Barksdale Dr NERao Design Studio, SieMatic and Dwell Modern

rao des ign stud io and s iemat icEnvironmental responsibility has always been a quiet part of the RAO Design Studio ethic, but rare are the occasions when clients demand it. Matthew Rao jumped at the chance to design this LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified kitchen and wet bar that Matt and Jennifer Liotta required. Working as a team with architect Bryan Russell, interior designer Michael Habachy, builder Alan Cablik and the Liotta’s, the group met weekly for

two months to evaluate the look and function of this compact kitchen and how it related to the architecture of the home.

The design is a “sculpted” mass of wood that reveals a niche for the kitchen. Wenge veneer contrasts with the warm white cabinetry. Rao proposed SieMatic for its design, engineering, and reliability, as well as its environmental aspect.

The kitchen, open to the rest of the house, is framed by tall pantry cabinets. Rao, using integrated Miele appliances, created a visual “block” out of the ovens, warming drawers, and coffee machine, minimizing their visual impact while creating a culinary statement. The 3/8

thick granite slab countertop features an eating bar, sink and induction cooktop. The long wet bar, open to a large interior courtyard, meets the client’s need to support large-group entertaining.

Layers of lighting, including low-wattage halogens and linear “L” shaped florescent fixtures, create different moods. The wall washing florescent is dramatic while the halogen lighting provides enough light to work and gives a brightness to the room.

about the k i tchen

RAO Design Studio is a leader, both locally and nationally, in kitchen and

bathroom design. Matthew D. Rao, CKD created RAO Design Studio to offer the most comprehensive design process available, taking a “whole-room” approach to the kitchen and the bath.

The process starts with understanding the clients and their needs. Matthew then brings his mantra of synthesizing form and function to the process, creating living environments that are at once beautiful, functional, and enduring. His approach is comprehensive: from the first notion of how to organize the space to offering choices for all finishes in the room.

Mathew’s work is frequently featured in national publications. His projects have won numerous awards, including the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Kitchen of the Year (7 times, 2009 Grand Prize Winner) and the SubZero-Wolf Kitchen Design contest (4-time regional winner).

SieMatic Möbelwerke, or Furniture Works, is one of the pre-eminent kitchen brands in the world. Since the first fitted SieMatic kitchen caused

a sensation in 1960, the company has been a leader in design, quality, engineering, and in the very conception of what is the modern kitchen.

Founded in Germany in 1926, this third-generation family business has introduced innovations such as the first handle-free kitchen, the classic raised panel white lacquer kitchen, the re-invention of the Shaker kitchen as a modern classic, and the recent introduction of BeauxArts, a clean yet classic interpretation of the American kitchen of the early 20th century.

fus ion des ign groupLocated in the heart of Morningside, this new Arts and Crafts style home was created by Dresser Homes to respect the architectural character of this lovely traditional neighborhood, while creating an open, urban interior reflecting today’s lifestyle.

The kitchen exemplifies the overall atmosphere of the home with many traditional features combined with simple, classic design elements.

The kitchen is the focal point of the public space of the home and is open to a spacious family room. The kitchen features a two tier island with a large porcelain farm sink and offers generous cooking preparation space while still allowing for separation while entertaining.

The kitchen is appointed with all modern appliances situated among traditional cabinetry with flat panel doors, painted in a neutral Gettysburg Gray, and highlighted with glass

inserts. The clean, elegant palate of the the kitchen is continued with honed Venatino Marble countertops. One of the most interesting features of the home is the custom-built, curved banquette adjacent to the kitchen. Situated under a wall of curved casement windows and featuring an exotic wood breakfast table from Verde Home, the banquette is a relaxing, light filled venue, ideal for every day dining.

This Arts and Crafts home embodies a successful collaboration of Builder and Designer to create a truly elegant and functional kitchen.

640 Somerset Terrace NEHome ReBuilders

home rebui ldersA few years ago, our clients came to us to help them design and build out their attic to give them a 2nd story in their Poncey Highlands home. This past year they were ready to redo their small overworked kitchen. The couple’s expressed needs for the project were very specific- create a family friendly eat-in kitchen with a large central island or peninsula space and improved views to the rear yard. (Take a peek out the back door to see a beautiful rear yard and great view) Creating and maximizing ample storage in a relatively small kitchen was also a priority with a growing young family. The location is a small in-town lot with

narrow side yards. A key requirement was to take better advantage of the unrealized downtown skyline view from the rear of the home. An additional request was to consider the possibility of a future family room addition and how the kitchen would relate to that space.

The “before” kitchen which had been renovated at some point in the past- though a generous galley style layout – was not quite wide enough to accommodate an island, nor did it incorporate any casual dining areas, a problem for a family with young children. The work zones were split across the wide walkway. Because the kitchen also functions as the primary route to the rear yard from the rest of the house – as such, it was a must to provide a dedicated zone for circulation which would not conflict with the primary work space in the kitchen. A “storage spine” was created by relegating features such as the pantry and refrigerator to the remaining interior wall of the space while allowing for windows to

be located on the exterior walls without sacrificing much needed storage. This establishes the circulation zone as a path through the kitchen but not in the way of the kitchen

Our clients chose top of the line appliances with Subzero and Wolf, as cooking is a passion. We designed in the new refrigerator drawers to the island to make access for small children. Diamond cabinetry was chosen in two colors providing a contrast with the island in black. Some great storage accessories are not to be missed. Be sure to ask about all the special technology designed into the kitchen.

This kitchen was part of a larger scope of work that required adding a small addition to the rear of this 1920’s historic Druid Hills home. Their dream kitchen, finally realized after kids finished college, needed to include multiple workspaces, a planning area, butler’s pantry, pantry and room to accommodate triplet sons, a daughter and their growing families.

The first challenge was that the kitchen gracefully tie into an existing living space without overwhelming it. This would be no easy feat considering the amount of workspace, storage and appliances that were required. The second challenge was that our clients actually cook. They cook for themselves, for family, for friends, and for neighbors. More food is prepared in this kitchen than your average diner. This kitchen had to feel historic, cozy and connected while providing ample storage, great working areas and ultimately had to look great.

Beyond the function and questions of scale we wanted to create an aesthetic that complimented the home and their style. An updated version of a 1920’s kitchen seemed like a perfect fit. Simple shaker style cabinets were chosen with an inside bead painted on the perimeter. A small mosaic brick stack tile on the backsplash and gorgeous leathered granite give the sense of age. The stained island was designed to look

like furniture. It provides abundant workspace and functions as both a connecting element with the adjacent living areas and a physical block to keep guests out of the working area.

In order to minimize the scale of this kitchen, the range and associated workspaces were tucked into a large dramatic niche. The kitchen is equipped with a warming drawer, a 36” built in refrigerator, and four ovens. The four ovens were achieved by combining a 48” range and double wall ovens. The full height pantry storage, and a desk area are hidden around a corner and behind the existing fireplace. This area also provided a second hidden dog entry to the backyard. A butler’s pantry was added between the formal dining room and kitchen for additional storage and to facilitate buffet or seated service. The result is the perfect balance between flow and function, age and beauty.

1820 Grist Stone Court Home Forge

home forge remodel ingThis is the newly designed kitchen of Martha and Sean Cook. Martha and Sean approached Home Forge Remodeling to recreate their kitchen and to better incorporate it into both the adjacent living room and to the future outdoor entertainment area in their yard. Being a gourmet cook, Sean also needed to bring functionality and style together. The result is this striking contemporary kitchen, complete with new French doors leading out to the planned

outdoor kitchen and pool area as well as a much improved overall functionality, beautiful finishes and dramatic lighting.

The kitchen was originally divided into two distinct areas separated by a peninsula. Home Forge reconfigured the space to unite the breakfast area with the main kitchen. A seldom-used butler’s pantry was eliminated to create more useable space, and a wall separating the kitchen from the living room was removed to bring in light and unite the two rooms. The new kitchen features a large island as its centerpiece and a strategically placed bar that work extraordinarily

well for both cooking and entertaining. The central cooking area allows for easy accessibility to large and small appliances, while the entertaining area wraps around it and allows interaction with guests and family.

Warm wood tones on the cabinetry soften the room and are enhanced by natural cork flooring. Mink-colored glass brick backsplash tiles add a dynamic element to the space, which is all set off with functional and interesting lighting. Hidden under-cabinet fixtures, recessed ceiling lighting and the highly-styled, remarkable “artichoke” pendants are also elements that make this kitchen unique, both as a design and renovation project and as a reflection of the Cook family’s lifestyle.

The recently completed renovation only took five weeks to complete making the Cook’s vision of a wonderful new kitchen a reality.

about the k i tchen

Home Forge Remodeling brings a new perspective to an old industry. We are committed to bringing you the

highest quality workmanship while respecting your time and your home. After working with you to design your project, our staff handles the ordering of all materials, oversees the delivery of all items before work begins in your home, and remains fully engaged as the project moves to completion.

Traditional remodeling puts homeowners out of their kitchen or bath for an average of 8 to 16 weeks; Home Forge’s team moves from demolition to completion in an average 3.5 weeks, ensuring you more time with a functional room. This truly sets us apart as your remodeler of choice.

Since our core craftspeople are full-time employees rather than subcontractors, you are assured a conscientious group of people dedicated to your project from start to finish. Our approach allows Home Forge to deliver total quality work on a well defined and concise schedule. We are happy to put you in touch with our past clients so you can assess for yourself these two key elements of our service.

Home Forge can help you with your project, from single room renovations all the way up to large home additions.

csi k itchen & bath stud ioWhen the homeowners came to CSI Kitchen & Bath Studio to remodel their kitchen, they had some definite ideas in mind. With a young child to keep an eye on and another on the way, the kitchen had to be family-friendly and efficient, but also elegant for social gatherings.

One of the first priorities was to improve the layout of the kitchen for efficiency. The awkward L-shaped peninsula was replaced with a large island—designed to serve a multitude of functions. Not only does it direct traffic flow, but it divides the kitchen area into work zones. The clean up center (sink, dishwasher and trash pullout) conveniently faces the cooking zone, a desk area with

file space at the rear is at a lower height for messages or homework, and a raised bar with seating accommodates snacks and visiting friends. Plenty of storage was provided for with tall cabinets, lots of drawers, pullouts for spices and bakeware and tray dividers. There is even storage space incorporated into the hood. Take note of the new corner pantry—concealed behind doors to match the cabinetry. The layout is now a cook’s dream with all appliances out of the traffic pattern and within easy each.

A distinctive feature of the kitchen is the coffered ceiling. While trying to determine how best to integrate

a structural beam that ran the length of the room into the design, the wife said, “Why not a coffered ceiling?” It perfectly disguises the beam and brings an interesting architectural element to the space. Custom pendant lights made of aged tin are suspended from the ceiling.

The creamy painted finish on the inset cabinetry is elegant and rich and is accented with handmade glazed porcelain beveled tiles behind the cooktop. Granite countertops with a brushed finish are a pleasant tactile counterpoint to the smooth surfaces. The ceramic tile floor in varying sizes is easy to clean, and its look of stone lends a French farmhouse feel to the kitchen.

thelen des ign bui ldThe homeowners desired to remodel the 1970’s kitchen area that was limited in space for the needs of a growing family. The three floors of the house were measured and drafted in order to have a plan of the house and a place to begin our many sketches, studies, drawings and options for the owners to consider and approve.

Thelen developed an extensive program that included a two story addition the allowed additional kitchen and breakfast area, screen porch and deck on the main floor. On the lower, walk-out level, an additional bedroom was built and revisions to the bath, family room/ playroom and wet bar were made. Other revisions were made to the remaining first floor laundry, dining room, living room and foyer and the bedrooms and baths on the second floor.

The design of the exterior addition on the rear of the existing house was accomplished with large curved top windows and French style doors. This provided additional natural light and improved the view of the large landscaped rear yard. The new French doors on the lower level opened to a stone patio and pond with “under cover” ceiling of the deck for exterior covered patio area.

Mouser Custom Cabinetry with Burnished finish established the décor for the much larger separate functioning areas for preparation, cooking and cleanup that included a morning bar with microwave. A raised level breakfast bar with stacked stone lower “knee wall” provided a study or “help prepare food” area for the younger family members.

Considerable revisions were made to the plumbing, heating/air conditioning and the electrical systems to update the house to meet the needs of the family. Oak wood floors were added in many room and existing wood floors refinished. Wallpaper and stippled ceiling were removed and smooth drywall installed. New door trim, casings, base and crown were added and the majority of the house was custom painted. This sizeable job was accomplished while the family lived in the house during the remodeling process.

From founding some of the mainstays of the community – like the Atlanta Speech School and the Atlanta Children’s Shelter – to supporting already established organizations like the American Red Cross, the Junior League of Atlanta has had a monumental impact on the Atlanta community for more than 90 years. This year alone – either by raising money to support JLA e�orts or working

directly with community organizations – active members will collectively give more than 120,000 volunteer hours to improve the lives of women and children in metropolitan Atlanta.

The commitment and compassion of each member is what makes the Junior League of Atlanta possible. Here are stories of two of the thousands of members who help keep the League strong.

To learn more about how you can make a di�erence, visit www.jlatlanta.org.

The American Red Cross has been Donna Gallaher’s placement since 1998. Through the Red Cross, Donna

says she’s gained valuable experience in leadership and crisis management...and a clearer perspective on what’s really important in life. She says seeing people who have truly lost everything in a disaster makes you appreciative of what you have. Donna especially likes the “hands on” approach to the Red Cross assignments in the commu-

nity. She recalls one special experience where she played a vital role in reuniting an elderly man with his family

after Hurricane Katrina. Donna was working as the shelter manager at Georgia Tech when she noticed an evacuee

who was depressed, despondent and alone. She gathered some basic information from him and was able to locate and eventually reunite the man with his daugh-ter from Arkansas. Donna says this is just one of the many times she’s witnessed a joyful moment stem from a tragic

experience.

Connie Land Norris started with the League in 1999 as a provisional. She

currently serves as chair of the NearlyNew Leadership Committee; a place-ment that she’s especially proud of

each day. The Nearly New Shop is the League’s largest fundraiser. Connie credits her committee for making it run smoothly and e�ciently. On a personal note, Connie says she’s

bene�tting from this placement by learning how to run a small business without the �nancial obligations of

owning one. Connie says she initially joined the JLA for networking oppor-tunities but soon realized that being a

member provides much more. She’s made great friends and likes working

with the strong and accomplished women in the JLA.
