A Modern Twist on a Southern Classic: BEFORE & AFTER

March 1st, 2011
by vanessa

This Atlanta Modern Home is hands down, the biggest transformation yet! It was known as the “ugly step-chid” of Northcrest, an  abandoned foreclosure scattered with trash, and a tacky paint job.  With a lot of hard work, some imagination and unexpected design elements this neglected step-child has been transformed into an Architectural Gem!!  Although this Modern Home doesn’t have some of the Mid-Century elements Northcrest is known for, it shines on it’s own. The attention to detail is what sets 3360 Archwood Drive apart. The moment you walk in the door you will instantly recognize the art gallery lighting  and “OH-SO-FABULOUS-GOTTA-HAVE-IT” Kitchen with it’s unique zebra high-gloss custom cabinetry. The colors are soothing and the floor plan has a familiar, inviting flow that makes you want to stay a while.

For all those doubters who said it couldn’t be done, I give you the latest Atlanta Mid-Century turn Modern Home, Ta-Da!!!

    Who does your renovations? They’re always so beautiful. I want my house, built in 1978, to look this good!

  2. Katie says:

    WHAT!?! Do you have time to do my house next? Whenever we do any renovations I’m totally calling you for advice. You are one talented woman!

    I cannot believe this is the same house as the entire inside
    has a different character. Mid-Century with an elegant
    touch. The tile work in the bath is awesome. And the new
    wood floors add to all the other textures in the kitchen.
    You have to step out in the yard to appreciate how big and well situated the home is located. Beautiful attention to
    detail.

    Was this a BJR renovation? NICELY done! Sorry we couldn’t make it to the open house. Finally, is that a VR original over the fireplace in the basement? Looks good! Cheers, Bo
