Every Tuesday, I’ll be featuring an Atlanta-area home makeover story here on our blog, and I’m happy to kick off this new routine by showcasing a design-build company with projects that always pique my interest: Brian Patterson Designs Inc.

For this particular project, owner Brian Patterson, with the help of Domain Construction Inc., renovated the kitchen of a1940s Decatur home. The goal was to make the most of the available space while maintaining the owner’s already-established-and-fabulous Art Deco style.

Here’s the canvas Patterson was working with:

1. East side- before

5. Stove wall- before

15. West View- Before

To expand the space, the washer and dryer were relocated, the two-top cafe table was replaced with a four-top in the sunroom and a functional pantry was added, along with an island for additional counter space and storage.

Patterson wanted the kitchen to complement the rest of the home’s style, so he used bold color, graphic tile patterns and retro fixtures. Floating stainless steel shelves added modern flair to the space, and the Johnathan Adler chandelier is now a sriking focal point.

The end result is a kitchen that packs a punch of personality and optimizes functionality!

Love it!
