An Extensive Kitchen Overhaul Offers Room to Work and a 21st Century Redo
After 24 years in the same home, an HGTV editor and her film producer husband decided it might be time to do an overhaul of the cute, but cramped, retro kitchen in their 1930 Atlanta bungalow. As soon as they mentioned the project, friends bemoaned the loss of the "vintage" kitchen. But truth be told, all the old school elements in the kitchen (except the grubby wood cabinets) were installed when the couple moved in. And tastes change. The cramped, long, narrow kitchen lacked modern-day essentials like a dishwasher, a garbage disposal and a vented range hood. A narrow hallway and swinging door also closed the space off from the dining room and the rest of the house, making entertaining challenging.
Enter Atlanta-based designer Gabriela Eisenheart of Silo Studios and her team of skilled contractors including Alex Bodgan and custom woodworker Elmer Van Der Klei to save the day.
The CB2 Perch Round Mirror With Shelf and a vintage circus poster play into the vintage feel of the room, which Gabriela was able to maintain in keeping with the rest of the home.
