Before and After: A Modern-Traditional Townhouse Makeover

With a modest budget and a timeline of three months, interior designers Brian Patrick Flynn and Darron O'Bonnon remodeled this Atlanta townhouse by mixing high-low materials and playing with both muted and bright colors.

To put an unused wall between the powder room and the kitchen to use, it was outfitted with a console table, open storage elements and table lamps. This resulted in the look of an actual entry, although the home doesn't officially have one.

To pack the powder room with style without spending too much, the walls were covered with a large-scale geometric wallpaper in neutral shades of gray.

In its existing state, the kitchen was only half utilized with one entire side left open and void of cabinets. To maximize the space, the homeowner wanted to extend the cabinetry and countertop across the back wall, then add a custom kitchen island to the center of the room.
