The kitchen’s dome ceiling is made of light pine wood. A natural zinc island weathers nicely over time and after use. “We added our own wood table and stools at the end of the island to serve as a space for eating and working for our boys, ” Kathy says. The large kitchen sink window overlooks the woods where feeders attract squirrels, deer and birds. Featured in “Fine Prints, ” March 2015.

Billy Wright, of Wright Cabinet Shop, installed the cabinetry. “It’s painted white with a chocolate glaze to look antiqued, ” Melissa says. “The walls are whitewashed pine, with different grays and whites to blend.” Three square canvases, found at Objects, adorn the space above the kitchen window. Each painting is labeled on the side with the local origin of the sand and seashells used in the composition. Featured in “Aqua Culture, ” March 2013. Photo by Ashley Rowe
HOMEOWNERS Caitlyn and Clifford Waite
LOCATION Midtown
Initially the kitchen was two separate rooms – a food prep area and a small dining space. The Waites knocked out a wall to give it an open concept. The couple decided to continue the beadboard ceiling, which was originally found in the adjoining sitting area. Caitlyn also used it as inspiration for the cream-paneled walls. Distressed letter hangings found at Charles Phillips Antiques & Architecturals keep with the rustic cottage style. Featured in “Newlywed Dreams, ” March 2013.

LOCATION Oakleigh Garden District
Sunshine through the windows, crisp shades of white on the walls, marble countertops, pristine custom cabinets and unique task lighting leave the kitchen bright and cheery year-round.

HOMEOWNER Brittany Fleming
LOCATION Cottage Hill
Brittany’s kitchen was a major fixer-upper. To stay within her budget, she ordered cabinets from IKEA. They were delivered to her house in 120 boxes. She got to work assembling the cabinets and modified some of them to make the kitchen island. Fun, patterned fabrics from Richtex, such as the periwinkle and lime ikat used on the valance over the sink, pull the room together. Featured in “Ranch-Style Revival, ” March 2015.

LOCATION Cottage Hill
An avid cook, Cissy combines form and function in her one-of-a-kind kitchen. The stove is a six-burner Monogram gas range, with a moon beam onyx subway tile backsplash. “I hunted a while for something really neat to match my granite, ” Cissy says. “When I saw that tile and brought a box of it home and spread it out against the granite, I knew I’d found the right thing.” Featured in “A Sophisticated Sanctuary, ” January 2013.
