Located in the beautiful intown Ansley Park neighborhood, this kitchen was part of a complete home remodel. The client wanted to take her craftsman-style home and transform it into a modern home with a craftsman soul. This custom kitchen features fluted rift sawn oak and slab style cabinetry. The Miele touch-to-open appliances are hidden beneath a wall clad in a gorgeous REHAU RAUVISIO ferro Metal PET surface in Empire Skyline—which is fingerprint and scratch resistant. The ventilation integrates seamlessly into the top of the cooking niche for cleaner lines. Compac Unique Calacatta Macchia Vecchia countertops accent the kitchen colorations and provide a forgiving work surface. The Galley sink and faucet add glamour to doing the dishes. A dramatic wall of glass folding doors open to the view of the outdoor patio water feature.
Jenny and Eric Rothman have crafted intimate, personal architecture throughout the Southeast, producing a diverse body of work that reflects their passion for wellchoreographed homes. They believe in fully integrated design and creating beautiful spaces that reflect the unique character of each homeowner. Rothman+Rothman designs have been featured in local, national, and international publications and have garnered many prestigious design awards.
We would like to thank Rehau, Distinctive Appliances, Innovative Appliance, John Wesley Hammer Construction, and Wood Cabinet Design for their excellence and for sponsoring this year’s kitchen.

In the heart of Virginia Highland, lies a meticulously designed kitchen that is a harmonious blend of the homeowner’s restaurateur expertise and design flair. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, creating a space that seamlessly marries functionality with aesthetic appeal. The kitchen features Leicht cabinets adorned in a rich anthracite hue. Gilded gold handles add a touch of opulence, creating a striking contrast against the dark cabinetry. The focal point of the room is the oversized island, crowned with a luxurious dark quartzite stone and complemented by a warm and inviting walnut butcher block. This kitchen stands as a testament to the restaurateur’s discerning taste and the designer’s artistry, where every element is a carefully chosen brushstroke contributing to a culinary masterpiece.
Located within the prestigious Atlanta Decorative Arts Center in Atlanta (ADAC), German Kitchen Center stands as a beacon of contemporary kitchen design, with a focus on the exquisite craftsmanship of Leicht German cabinets. The showroom has been curated to perfection under the keen eye of Trey Monroe, the senior designer and visionary behind a myriad of kitchen creations.
Trey Monroe, with a passion for marrying form and function, has left an indelible mark on the showroom’s portfolio, showcasing his expertise in designing kitchens that transcend styles and preferences. The commitment to excellence is evident not only in the sleek lines and innovative designs, but also in the unparalleled dedication to customer service.
A significant opening and reorientation of this kitchen into the new combined living space was the primary design goal for Matthew and interior designer Monika Thiels for the life she wanted for her family. That was not as easy in practice as the original historic house and its additions had load bearing points in the walls that needed removing. However, the design incorporated those points and unified the space, creating the feeling of a closed-in sunroom that opens to the rest of single living space. A clean white simple handle-free SieMatic kitchen with sleek Gaggenau appliances makes the kitchen timeless and the perfect complement to the contemporary yet eclectic materials of the house and the interior design elements.
Matthew D. Rao, CKD founded RAO Design Studio in 2003. He began his kitchen career in 1988 and has had a long association with the SieMatic and Gaggenau brands. The idea of the kitchen as the central social space of the home has been a main theme in his work. Through communication and his passion for cooking, Rao has helped hundreds of clients have an experience of a design for living that unifies form, function, and a love for shared stories.

When the designer became the client, a split personality emerged during months of navigating details from both perspectives. Kelly brought her professional prowess home, crafting a Mid-Century Modern kitchen befitting the 1964 build. The space blends sleek design with family functionality—featuring playful accents and innovative storage solutions. This modest culinary haven is a canvas for her family to play, create, learn, and grow together. In this carefully curated space, Kelly aimed to infuse her family’s daily life with the comfort and charm of MCM style, creating a vibrant setting for all their shared moments.
With a passion for precision in kitchen and bath design, Kelly Carlisle, dubbed the “sixteenth of an inch girl” by clients and colleagues, thrives on the engineering challenges of high-end execution. With two decades of specialized expertise, her talent shines through in crafting spaces that seamlessly integrate into architecture while reflecting clients’ personalities. Garnering local and national recognition, Kelly established her eponymous firm in 2018, focusing on bespoke cabinetry design and implementation. Driven by a dedication to tailoring spaces to individual tastes, she continues to elevate her craft with a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Transforming this stately kitchen with high ceilings into a grand space for elegant entertaining posed a design challenge. We designed floor-to-ceiling cabinets accessed by a sleek ladder rail system—maximizing storage. The classic design showcases a stunning walnut Island, complemented by state-of-the-art Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove appliances. This remodel seamlessly merges sophistication with functionality, creating an inviting haven for both culinary endeavors and social gatherings.
With over 21 years in the kitchen and bath industry, Lisa Brooks Designs uses innovative solutions that reflect her clients’ individual personalities and lifestyles.

PDI,
This colorful kitchen underwent a big transformation from a small undersized space to the vibrant, open area that it is now. The homeowners purchased a new home and lived there as-is for a short time before realizing the kitchen was undersized for their needs. They decided to renovate the kitchen area, allocating more of the existing space to the kitchen. The layout and placement of appliances and task zones were reworked, two islands were added, and a co ee room was created to the side of the kitchen. A bourbon and wine room with a backlit countertop and backsplash was also added as a key feature adjacent to this space. The homeowners’ love of color and texture drove the design with the use of deep blue and gray. These colors were used on portions of the cabinetry as well as on rift oak panels for built-in refrigeration and sliding barn doors leading into the beverage room. Zinc metal accents and banding were added to the island ends and the oak doors and panels to complement the new stainless zinc hood. The range area is surrounded by a dark blue tile to bring in the colors from the rest of the kitchen and the natural quartzite countertop pulled in amazing tones of blue, gray, and taupe to unite all elements of the color scheme.

Kitchen designer Stephanie Elder of Dove Studio was thrilled to join forces with Hrach Burtoyan of Keystone Custom Homes for their latest custom build project just outside of Atlanta. The kitchen boasts elegant soft white and deep moody gray painted inset cabinetry and stained oak island cabinets and accents, harmonized with stained wood ceiling beams and brass hardware, capturing the essence of a modern farmhouse aesthetic. To highlight the homeowner’s eclectic collection of art and accessories we added floating shelves flanking the custom range hood. The kitchen also features a hidden co ee bar and custom appliance storage cabinet as part of the built-in fridge armoire. A spacious island takes center stage, catering to the needs of the family and suited to the large open floor plan. In addition to the kitchen, Dove Studio provided custom designed cabinetry for the o ce, mudroom, bar, laundry, and bathrooms.

Expansive windows, recessed lighting and a flush ceiling hood maintain generous sight lines underscoring the homeowners’ call to connect with nature. An adjoining screened porch nurtures this objective. Functional features include appliance hide-aways, pull-out shelves flanking the range top, and a sizeable island. Abundant tableware storage lives in the alcove hutch. The walk-in pantry o ers food storage, a laptop perch and conceals nicely with frosted glass doors. Attention to key design details such as the custom-made walnut co ee station shelf, natural stone countertops, frosted glass, and chamfered island legs complete this haven perfect for slowing down with family and friends.

Bremtown Cabinetry started as a passionate pursuit of true craftsmanship and excellence in 1977. Possibilities and craftsmanship: these are the soul of Bremtown’s fine cabinetry.
The pièce de résistance of this modern design is unmistakably the “floating” island. Built on a sleek raised steel frame is a spectacular, gray-stained white oak island in the center of the kitchen. The striking charcoal perimeter cabinetry is asymmetrical and to the ceiling with perfectly integrated appliances. The natural light and view of the private backyard with pool never gets old. As you exit the kitchen area, you will feel how complete the full entertainment space is with a view of the 10’ bar wall. This tall, captivating cabinet wall serves as an inviting beverage area with a wine refrigerator on the lounge side and beautifully lit bookshelves on the living side.

This kitchen and house as a whole was the epitome of traditional design when the clients moved in. The goal was to maintain the classic bones of the home while integrating sleek design elements and finishes that fit with the homeowner’s more transitional taste. A symmetrical design layout alongside inset cabinetry, a plaster hood, unlacquered brass hardware, and a linear light fixture created a visually calm and clean aesthetic. Meanwhile, a walnut island with Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops and backsplash grounded the kitchen in its traditional roots.
The Designery is an Atlanta-based kitchen and bath design house that translates your highest vision into reality through expert technical knowledge and unrivaled customer care. We dig deep creatively, helping clients navigate the process in a straightforward way that focuses on informed decisions, considered options, and accessible style with a soul.
The Designery’s work has been featured across Atlanta through numerous show houses and industry events. Courtney Shearer and Ryan Foxx collaborated on this kitchen remodel and are thrilled to showcase a truly stunning before and after on this year’s Tour of Kitchens.
This iconic English Manor estate from the 1920s has undergone a meticulous transformation in collaboration between Studio Entourage and Wolf Design Group The original kitchen has been expanded and seamlessly integrated with the family room to create an ideal workflow. Our vision was to craft a modern and functional kitchen that harmoniously blends with the vintage charm of the 1920s home. Stained wood panels conceal the refrigerator and access to the “back of house” area, while the original brick and plaster structures are retained, providing a fitting backdrop for the authentic Ilve brass and ivory range. A new steel window at the working sink introduces natural light and o ers expansive views of the front yard. The addition of a herringbone wood floor seamlessly connects with the original bowtie joint hardwoods. The use of brass fixtures, neutral tones, and beautiful Calacatta marble create a calming space to nurture culinary creativity.
