A sweeping glance of Melissa and Kevin Rathbun’s Morningside kitchen belies the diversity it represents. She, who loves all that is New Orleans, wanted to incorporate elements of the city’s rich architecture, while he—one of Atlanta’s most celebrated chefs—was steadfast in his desire for clean, modern style. As it turns out, however, there was no need for compromise; thanks to the deft hand of architect/designer Joel Kelly, the two diverse viewpoints coexist beautifully, creating one extraordinary space.
During the month of may, the Center Court at Phipps Plaza was home to the 2012 Dream Kitchen, sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. Designed and built by Inspirations Kitchen & Bath Studio, with interior design by John Fernandez and Jennifer True, the space was a living laboratory for showcasing the latest design trends for today’s lifestyles. For this ephemeral space—the third one built at the mall in as many years—the design teams chose rich textures, lively patterns and sleek fixtures and hardware.

In May, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles teamed up with Michael Bell of Inspirations Kitchen & Bath and Liz Williams of Liz Williams Interiors to create the 2011 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Luxury Kitchen, part of the magazine’s Luxury Living Show at Phipps Plaza. Visitors were wowed by its state-of-the-art appliances, as well as its design that captured a fresh perspective on traditional style.
>> Design Galleria Kitchen & Bath Studio introduced Peter Block Caseworks in May. “Design should be simply conceived, well proportioned, nimble in terms of spatial functionality and built of permanent materials,” says Block. “Intuitive design reigns.” See a full display at the Design Galleria showroom in Buckhead. 351 Peachtree Hills Ave. NE, Atlanta 30305.
