"Thanks to Butler and Kwaw, the kitchen, specifically, got the most charming update. Before the fire in 2023, the kitchen had last been updated in 1993, and the designers described it as "outdated with a peninsula and laminate cabinets." The duo had to approach the renovation with sensitivity and tact. "We noted, empathized, and revisited the highlights," they share. The designers drew inspiration from happy times, such as the client's annual visits to Martha's Vineyard, for the design of the new kitchen."
"The designers suggested adding more windows to flood the room with natural light, and the client loved the idea. After getting her approval, or as the designers put it, "her smile," they moved forward with adding colors inspired by Martha's Vineyard. Sentimental pieces, like artwork restored from the fire, dot the walls of the kitchen and butler's pantry. And because the room was built as a "forever kitchen," the designers added easily-accessible storage options like minimal upper cabinets and built-in storage."
B. Noelle Design rebuilt a Georgia client's kitchen after a 2023 house fire that destroyed nearly everything she had built over nearly three decades. The prior kitchen dated to 1993 and featured a peninsula and laminate cabinets. The renovation introduced more windows for natural light, a color palette inspired by Martha's Vineyard, and restored sentimental artwork salvaged from the fire. The space was planned as a "forever kitchen" with easily accessible storage: minimal upper cabinets, built-ins, and thoughtful organization. The renovation required roughly three and a half months and cost approximately $50,000 from start to finish.
