Feature Friday: Ruby’s New Kitchen

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.

    Great kitchen! I can see why she’s cooking more; it’s a place where I’d want to be. Nice job.

    That is a gorgeous kitchen. Love the valance fabric and oh how I wish I could have had a farmhouse sink when we remodeled, but we would have had to change the existing cabinet where the sink is and it would have been to much extra work and expense. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

    Wow, what a terrific kitchen! I was intrigued by the window treatment. Looks like drapery tiebacks set vertically across the wall and then the valence is tied? looped? bunched and attached? Did it come that way? Can someone tell me how this was done? I have the same type of window in my kitchen.

    I love her kitchen. I am so pleased to see that she didn’t use the stainless steel appliances. I also love the antiquing on the cabinets. I’m bookmarking the post for a reminder, when I finally make a decision about updating our kitchen cabinets.

    What an awesome kitchen! I love everything about it, floors, walls, cabinets, sink, pot filler, wall color, fleur de lis decorations, etc.
    One of my neighbors painted her white laminate cabinets and they look similar to what your friend has. Maybe one day, I’ll be brave enough to attempt changing mine. 🙂

    Those gleaming floors!

    The kitchen looks lovely and it is nice to see some black appliances rather than stainless.

    Love it! Definitely saving this for ideas when we return to the U.S. Hey, can we get some more shots of the lovely window treatment? I’d like to see just how they’re made. Thanks!

      Hey, Tiffany, I don’t have any other shots, sorry. It’s a swag type treatment hung on decorative knobs.

      Hmmm…Well, now I think I have to come up with a way to use this idea. Love!

    Your friend, Ruby’s, kitchen is just grand. We remodeled our kitchen a few years back (you can check it out on my post dated 10/15/10 if you are interested). We had about the same vintage kitchen that Ruby started with, but have been so pleased with all that we did. It’s now my favorite room in our home, well, maybe 2nd to my Playroom aka Craft room! Anyway, thanks a bunch for giving us the tour.

    So glad y’all enjoyed Ruby’s kitchen. I knew you would! She spent a few months getting it just right. For those asking about wall color, I’m pretty sure that it is an old Sherwin Williams color called Praline. you may still be able to get it. It’s in their OLD fandeck, along with the color Dromedary Camel, which was a popular strip from a few years ago. The new fandeck strip that is similar is my Whole Wheat color strip, so look at that one too.
