  • Custom Built French Country Kitchens

    There has always been something unique about southern country kitchens. Perhaps its that they look like they just "happened," that your grandmother composed her kitchen's design over the course of a lifetime; that the warmth of her hospitality radiated from her kitchen; that you could feel biscuits baking, Sunday dinner cooking, her hand guiding yours across a faded recipe. Even in our "big" cities, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Columbia, Raleigh or Jackson, Grandmother's kitchen had the scent of spring blooms and the light of open fields, bright, breezy, comfortable.

    And character, they had character. Filled with cook books, cooking art, pots and pans, tools and gadgets, bowls and measuring cups, grandmother kept abreast of popular trends and technological progress.

  • In kitchens framed with exposed beams, draped with bead board walls, you'd find ice boxes, kelvinators, wood stoves and gas ranges, biscuit boards and kitchen aids, and in time, all electric GE and Westinghouse appliances. Grey or white washed walls turned blossom colorful, windows framed our southern light, and always, always, folks gathered in the kitchen to help prepare the food we know as distinctly southern. The food of our forefathers, the staple of our culture.

  • Southern Style Country...

    Southern country kitchens reflect the wedding between the traditional and modernity; the melding of function and design into a unique style that combines the agrarian heritage of our culture with our embrace of all things new. Space and sunlight merge, our palette is soft and fresh like the jonquil's late winter blooms; clay and slate are our earth tones, bright whites like lofty morning clouds and ivory shades like boiling afternoon thunder peaks dominate; and no matter how compact the space, we stretch it toward the light, toward the sun, toward the yard or field.

  • ...French Country Kitchens

    Southern Country Kitchens have one more distinct trait, a certain Gallic "Joie de vivre" that pulls into our kitchens elements of our everyday life as well as remembrances of things past. We fill shelves with books and vases and framed pictures of long forgotten relatives and post cards, and our children's faces; we hang favorite images and beaten copper mixing bowls, and delft platters and church calendars on our walls. We feel the light streaming through windows and see our backyard gardens as Monet saw Giverny, and we beamingly invite all comers to watch us cook the evening's meal.

  • And We Cook...

    That's really why we care at all about our kitchens. We cook, we feed, we clean. Each element has its place and its needs. A French Country Kitchen Southern Style embodies modern technologies that allow us to more efficiently accomplish all three tasks, while we enjoy doing them. It's really that simple. We work together to create a sanctuary where success is not merely measured by gastronomical achievement but by comfort and fulfillment and simply the feeling of being surrounded by all that pleases you and the knowledge that this is the center of your universe, this is "home."

ABOUT YOUR BUDGET…
 
No one knows better than you what you are able to invest in a remodeled kitchen. It’s always best if you consider a range of  investment, from the least you would like to invest to the most you think possible.
 
You might consider calling the real estate agent who assisted you in buying your home, or any agent or appraiser familiar with your neighborhood, to determine what equity you may gain from the money you plan to spend on a remodeled kitchen. These informed people can give you good advice as to what amount of your proposed budget can be considered an investment, through the actual increase in your home’s value from the proposed improvement, and what amount will be an expense. Of course, the expense can be capitalized, if necessary, and increase your cost basis in your home.
 
Review all figures with your accountant or financial advisor.
 
Often, informed consumers will decide to budget more money than the proposed improvements are immediately worth; they do so because the kitchen is the heart of their home and lifestyle, it is a sanctuary where food and drink and family all meet, relax and enjoy a time of civility and good humor.
 
Georgia Country Kitchens has no requirements as to minimum budgets or financial commitments.
 
Our goal is to help you stretch your budget, receive maximum value for every dollar spent, avoid rip-offs, delays and contractor antics, and plan your kitchen remodeling from the idea in your head and heart to the new kitchen you enter for the first time.
 
We can help you evaluate what your budget can achieve, and help you determine what improvements fit your budget. Call us today at 770-272-4338 for more information.
 
A WORD ABOUT THE CURRENT ECONOMY.
 
We haven’t seen material and labor costs this low for years. It is a great time to bargain hunt suppliers and surplus stores. It’s a great time to get more for your dollar, and that’s part of our commitment to you. We will never submit a cost to you without having received at least three bids! We will shop local, regional, and national suppliers in person, by telephone or the internet to find the lowest prices for the products and styles you want.
 
Unless you find it at a yard sale, no one will find you a lower price on any item than we will!
