Atlanta Kitchen Gets A Transformation (Before and After Pictures Included)

This galley kitchen is beautiful. Those were my exact thoughts when I first entered. With the rich dark wood, the beautiful granite and the stainless steel - I knew exactly what I wanted to do. As a professional home stager in Atlanta, my job is to further enhance and showcase the beauty of the features the home has to offer. 

So how does one take an "already beautiful kitchen" and make it stand out? It takes some thought, that's for sure. Home staging a kitchen is all about the accessories. What we use and where we place it, is important.

Here's the before picture. I loved it the minute I saw it.

Kitchen before home staging

Here's the after picture. As you'll see, I chose a deep burgundy/red color to further enhance the richness of the dark wood tones. 

Kitchen after home staging

Close-up (kitchen countertop left). Limes were on my mind as my husband had just made ceviche the day before. It's funny how things that happen in the course of our days that help influence some of our decisions. I chose the container (with greenery) in the corner as it looks "old world" to me and seemed the perfect height. With its' rustic-look, set inside a contemporary kitchen, it seemed the perfect touch.

Kitchen counter close-up

Close-up (kitchen countertop right). The small tray of olives was a carry-over, keeping with the rustic element I wanted to bring in. The red container - newly purchased (well, months ago) just matched perfectly to the burgundy vase and bowl. Envision it filled with lentils or a small pasta such as pastina.

Kathy - You succeeded in making an already great kitchen look fantastic.  The hits of red really warm up the space, and I love the direction you took with the old world, rustic elements.  It's a very nice juxtaposition to the cold, stainless steel backsplash.

Hi Kathy,  I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the home!  You have really enhanced this kitchen and made it seem vibrant, where as before staging it looked to industrial and cold.  Your choices were just perfect for this space.

I'll take it!  Thank you for removing the knife block - it's the first thing I always tell sellers to hide.

Kathy- I liked the kitchen too when I first saw it because of the potential it had and then what you did with your magic touch just made it all the more inviting.  I love how you added some warm and rustic touches to take away from the kitchen being viewed as too  contemporary or sterile.

I love the kitchen before and after.  You are so right, that even the most beautiful remodel needs to be warmed with some emotion of real living.  I am anxious to see the rest of the house.  My first thought when I saw that contemporary gray was yellow as in lemons!!!l
