Diana and Josh bought the house several months ago, and we have been hard at work ever since. We don't know much about the former owner of their home. We do; however, know a few things. First, I have to give credit where credit is due. The former owner is a contractor, and to his credit, he is responsible for the stunning exterior and many of the unique and luxurious touches found throughout the home. It is also abundantly clear this gentleman was quite the UGA fan (it is also quite possible he was colorblind). But seriously, to say that he was a UGA fan is probably a bit of an understatement. Even his kitchen bled red and black. The kitchen has so many beautiful details, but they were hidden by a jarring deep red wall color and in true "Dawgs" style, the kitchen was made even darker by black countertops and other black elements throughout. Don't get me wrong, I love the Dawgs-I'm a Georgia graduate myself-but I think we can all agree he may have taken it a bit too far here. Nor am I firmly against black countertops, but with all of it's beautiful windows, natural light and the potential lay underneath all of that red and black, we just needed to brighten up the space so it could really shine as a centerpiece of the home.
