Renovation of the Month

If you haven't seen the May issue of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles its not too late but I am going to give you a sneak peak.  Featured in this month's issue is the kitchen renovation completed by Ryan Duffey, of J Ryan Duffey Architect, Nancy Duffey of Scout For The Home Interiors and Cameron Thurman of Phoenix Millworks for a Brookhaven family.

 A view of the dining area in the kitchen/keeping room.  The iron doors were fabricated by Dave Quinlan, the walls throughout are stucco applied by Vali Lazar.

All wood in the kitchen is lime washed including the kitchen island with a marble top, the same marble was used for the counter tops.  The lime wash is from ROMA.

I was able to visit the project myself when it was completed and want to share some of the photos I took.  I am not a professional photographer so my images will look nothing like Lauren Rubenstein's in the above article.

The view looking from the kitchen to the dining and keeping room.

You can really see the texture of the stucco walls and ceiling.

View to kitchen from keeping room.  The arched opening leads to the wet bar and the living area.  Straight ahead behind the closed pocket doors is a spacious mudroom and ladies office.

Another view through the arched opening.  The use of iron windows and doors throughout provides plenty of natural light.

The living area off the kitchen/dining keeping room.

Wooden beams were added for interest, they were sourced from Willis Everett at Vintage Lumber in Gay, Georgia.

The wet bar connects the living room and the dining room.

The builder on this project was Mike Hammersmith.

Stay tuned for the next installment where I talk more about the extensive work performed by Cameron Thurman of Phoenix Millworks.
