You know the look. It’s the quintessential Alpharetta kitchen from the late 90s. The honey-oak cabinets are incredibly sturdy, but they cast a heavy, yellow glow over the entire floor plan. Pair that with dark granite and a layout that walls the cook off from the rest of the house, and you have a space that feels more like a cave than a heart-of-the-home.
It’s frustrating because the quality is there. You don’t want to rip out perfectly good wood, but you can’t ignore how that “closed-in” feeling kills the flow when hosting. As we often say, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure,” and in design, if you aren’t measuring the impact of light and flow, you’re losing the soul of the room.

At Bath & Kitchen Galleria, we specialize in taking these “good bones” and bringing them into the light. You don’t have to sacrifice your home’s character to get the open, transitional look you’ve been pinning to your mood boards. Plus you will love our remodeling process!
Did You Know: Our “Dust-Free” remodeling tech uses high-velocity HEPA air scrubbers. This ensures that while we’re removing walls in your kitchen, the rest of your home stays pristine.

What a Pro Actually Does
A true transitional update is surgical. We look at the “bones” of your Roswell or Alpharetta home to see where we can gain the most ground. Sometimes, the “soul” of the kitchen is trapped behind a heavy breakfast bar or a dark pantry closet.
Little Known Fact: Most 90s kitchens in North Atlanta have hidden structural potential. Removing a single non-load-bearing soffit can make an 8-foot ceiling feel like 10 feet.
Visit Our Design Center
Choosing textures and layouts online is one thing; seeing them in person is another. We invite you to visit our Roswell Showroom and Design Center. It’s the perfect place to touch the finishes, test the drawer glides, and see exactly how a “bright and airy” kitchen feels in person.
