PARKHILL PIED-À-TERE

This 1940’s Morningside cottage gets a full transformation inspired by classic English interiors, the home’s original architecture and its idyllic setting in a nostalgic pocket of Atlanta.

Although the kitchen was taken down to the studs, original details like the sash pulley windows and oak floors were lovingly restored, while the original cast iron sink was moved to the basement bar. Every element was chosen with intention; artisan made task lighting with ceramic shades and brass collars echo the craftsmanship of the period. Katie Hickman Studio patina’d the brass cupboard hardware ensuring the result felt timeless and restrained, just as the client requested.

A handcrafted Shaws sink offers ample space to handle sheet pans and stock pots so water stays contained and the counter remains tidy. The Carrara countertop stretches across the kitchen which makes it practical for hosting and convenient for everyday life. 

Various textures, sheens, and elevated finishes give interest in the otherwise paired back space. Handmade tile from the family’s village in France sits behind the Miele range. Furniture grade cabinetry was key for the English aesthetic, and allowed us to integrate appliances to further enhance the look. Ceiling-high hutches with reeded glass effortlessly draw the eye upward, giving bespoke while still keeping the lines clean. The hand-troweled plaster across the ceiling, walls, and range hood is a detail that infuses the kitchen with a soft glow that shifts beautifully from sunrise to sunset.
