Tour a Game-Changing Kitchen Remodel

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.

Farrow & Ball Green Smoke paint paired with brass accents and a white Corian countertop gives this kitchen a timeless-meets-trending look.

An antique green sink found at an Atlanta salvage lot was the centerpiece of this pre-makeover kitchen. Interior designer Gabriela Eisenheart kept that showpiece sink and integrated it into the new kitchen plan. Her new design for the space reduced the clutter, enhanced the flow and maintained the couple's interest in a classic, timeless-feeling space.

Inspired by the beautiful bespoke kitchens created by the British kitchen company deVOL, this kitchen features a custom island with turned legs, four generous drawers and a lower open shelf for even more storage. The simple wooden counter-height chairs for the island are from West Elm.
