One of my dear friends in Atlanta, Ruby, just had her kitchen remodeled, so I just knew this would be something you’d all enjoy seeing. She knocked out a wall between the kitchen and mudroom off the garage, to open up her kitchen making it much more spacious. With all new glazed cabinets, a Shaw farmhouse sink, new gas range with pot filler, and a huge black island, it is a kitchen worth drooling over now. She said she’s actually cooking more too.
I was home over Thanksgiving and got to see it in person and it is just a beautiful space. She now has a spacious black island to really work for her.Lots of room in this kitchen now.Seeded glass doors bring in some sparkle and let the cabinets shine.She added a little sink on this end of the kitchen too, which I’m sure comes in handy.So pretty and spacious.I love the range area with pot filler and the way the cabinets are staggered. That’s always a great look.She said she fell in love with the Shaw farmhouse sink and that’s what got everything started.Toile valances let in plenty of light in the windows.Right bank with the fridge and ovens.What a beautiful kitchen.
Hope you enjoyed touring Ruby’s kitchen! I know she is proud of this one and I can see why. So glad we got to catch up again too. She’s a very special friend of mine.

Kate says
Beautiful! Love the attention to detail, especially the valence and the hooks it hangs from. I’m curious though….why didn’t she paint the doorframe surrounding the brown door?? One doorframe leading to another room is white, while the doorframe around an actual door is brown. I’m confused as to why they aren’t both painted white. I know nothing about decorating and fail at it totally, so I’m sure there’s a reason! Just wondering what it is!
Rhoda says
Hi, Kate, she mentioned that she painted that door and frame to the same as the wall color to blend in, since this door goes to the garage. She didn’t want to highlight it, but I think she has decided to go back & paint it white, the same as the other doors, just to keep it consistent. It was an experiment, I think & now she changed her mind.

What a beautiful kitchen! We put in the same sink in our kitchen 2 years ago and love it! Would love to see some before pics to show the difference. What great choices in the updates!
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
OMG! I love it! From the window valances to the wood floor! Love the cabinets and the island {including the glass doors and the colors}. I am really hoping that when we down-size I will luck out with the kitchen. She has a lot of touches in here that I’d love to have.

Hi Rhoda! Oh, your friend Ruby’s kitchen is just so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. I love that sink too and wanted one so badly but hubby just doesn’t like them. Shoot! I didn’t get my way! 🙂 What a wonderful beautiful space and it’s so big. Congratulations to her.
Be a sweetie,
