Based on one of our most popular floor plans, the Charleston II by Schumacher Homes offers expanded square footage, clever storage solutions, and effortless daily functionality. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired custom kitchen featuring expansive counter space, a large center island for gathering, and double-stacked kitchen cabinets for maximized storage. For seamless hosting, a connected messy kitchen and giant walk-in pantry keep prep, clutter, and dishes out of sight from the main living area.
A dedicated pocket office provides the ideal flex space to work, organize, or manage daily tasks before leading into the private owner's retreat. Here, you'll find a primary bedroom with dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired owner's bath complete with a sleek glass shower and a luxurious soaking tub. On the opposite side of the home, additional bedrooms provide private, comfortable spaces for family or guests.
Designed with thoughtful layout flow and premium custom details, the Charleston II by Schumacher Homes delivers a harmonious balance of luxury, practicality, and modern living.

The owners of this 1956 ranch home in Atlanta partnered with Copper Sky Design + Remodel to modernize the space while enhancing its mid-century character. The standout feature of the project is the kitchen, where a custom curved wood tambour island adds a striking retro element. This open-concept space is warmed by wood ceiling beams and tongue-and-groove planks, creating a blend of mid-century charm and modern functionality. The adjacent breakfast nook offers a cozy spot for morning coffee, while geometric tile patterns and asymmetrical designs throughout the kitchen honor the home's original era.
The remodel included reconfiguring the floor plan to add practical spaces like a laundry room, jack-and-jill bathroom, and pantry. The primary bathroom was updated with retro-inspired hexagon tiles, tying the room's design into the home's mid-century aesthetic. In the entryway, a vibrant front door and modern tile work, paired with clerestory windows, create a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
On the exterior, new wood-look garage doors and vintage breeze blocks enhance the home's curb appeal, while a fresh coat of paint ties everything together. These thoughtful updates to both the interior and exterior reflect a harmonious balance between mid-century nostalgia and modern living.

Design Dilemma: Our clients needed a place to store their beautiful bass and their extensive collection of books and records. Solution - We transformed this unused corner in the great room into a beautiful and functional storage space.
Using a subtle instrument rack so the client could easily remove the bass to play, we were able to showcase the bass as a work of art and make it a focal point in the space. We also added a rolling ladder to access the top of the bookshelf and to make the space more interesting.

Smokey Blue Kitchen: A Blend of Classic Elegance and Modern Flair
This kitchen design showcases a harmonious balance of sophistication and warmth, where smokey blue cabinetry sets the tone for an inviting yet stylish space. Thoughtful details such as brass hardware and a striking black island create depth and visual interest, while natural stone countertops bring a touch of organic beauty.
Key Features of This Kitchen Design:
Smokey Blue Cabinets: The cabinetry’s soft, smoky blue color adds a layer of elegance and tranquility, making the kitchen feel welcoming and refined. This hue serves as the perfect backdrop for other design elements, exuding both charm and contemporary appeal.
Natural Stone Countertops: Luxurious, natural stone countertops with subtle veining offer durability and timeless beauty. Their organic patterns pair perfectly with the blue cabinets, adding texture and a natural touch that grounds the space.
Brass Hardware: Polished brass handles and knobs introduce warmth and a hint of luxury, standing out against the smokey blue and complementing the black island. The brass accents elevate the overall design and tie in seamlessly with transitional or traditional styles.
Black Island: The bold, black island serves as a dramatic centerpiece, providing a striking contrast to the softer tones of the surrounding cabinets. This focal point not only enhances the color palette but also adds a touch of modernity.
Pops of Color: Thoughtfully chosen decorative elements, patterned textiles, add personality and liveliness without overpowering the sophisticated color scheme.
Glass Elegance: Glass-front cabinets or pendant lights with glass detailing contribute to an airy, open feel while adding a touch of refinement. These elements subtly reflect light and elevate the kitchen’s ambiance.
This smokey blue kitchen is a masterful blend of classic and contemporary design. The use of brass hardware, natural stone, and a bold black island alongside glass details creates a space that is not only elegant but also rich with character and warmth.

The interior blends the warmth of rich wood finishes, supple leathers, and plush fabrics with a refined color palette of cinnamon, fawn, onyx, and graphite blue. Custom-designed rugs add texture and comfort, while artisan decor, elegant bedding, and luxurious wall and ceiling coverings create depth, dimension, and a sense of timeless luxury.

Hamptons-Inspired Kitchen
One cannot help but feel a distinct sense of serenity and timeless beauty when entering this Hamptons-style kitchen. Bathed in natural light and shimmering with inspired accents and details, this complete kitchen transformation is at once elegant and inviting. Plans and elevations were conceived to create balance and function without sacrificing harmony and visual intrigue.
A metal custom hood, with an eye-catching brass band and impeccably balanced cabinets on either side, provides a strong focal point for the kitchen, which can be viewed from the adjacent living room. Brass faucets, hardware and light fixtures complement and draw further attention to this anchoring element. A wall of glass cabinetry enhances the existing windows and pleasantly expands the sense of openness in the space.
Taj Mahal quartzite blends gracefully with the cabinet finishes. Cream-tone, herringbone tiles are custom-cut into different patterns to create a sense of visual movement as the eyes move across the room. An elegant, marble-top island paired with sumptuous, leather-covered stools, not only offers extra counterspace, but also an ideal gathering place for loved ones to enjoy.
This unforgettable kitchen gem shines even brighter with the addition of glass cabinets, designed to display the client’s collection of Portmeirion china. Careful consideration was given to the selection of stone for the countertops, as well as the color of paint for the cabinets, to highlight this inspiring collection.
Breakfast room
A thoughtfully blended mix of furniture styles introduces a splash of European charm to this Hamptons-style kitchen, with French, cane-back chairs providing a sense of airy elegance and delight.
A performance velvet adorns the banquette, which is piled high with lush cushions for optimal comfort while lounging in the room. Another layer of texture is achieved with a wool area rug that defines and accentuates this gorgeous breakfast nook with sprawling views of the outdoors.
Finishing features include drapery fabric and Brunschwig and Fils Bird and Thistle paper, whose natural, botanic pattern combines with the beautiful vistas of the backyard to inspire a sense of being in a botanical, outdoor wonderland.

Unique design details found throughout this kitchen bridge the gaps between classic, modern, industrial, and eclectic. Rare and intricate combinations of tile, wood, steel, aluminum, and Dekton create a comfortable large kitchen with harmonious balance. Classic white cabinets with stainless steel toe kick are contrasted by the large walnut island with a taller coordinating toe. Floating in complete disguise is the 1.2 cm ultra thin countertop by Dekton rarely seen in a classic kitchen application. Walnut shelves float on the white stamped tin patterned tile and are grounded with the industrial stainless tambour appliance garage. The 3" thick floating bistro bar top by Dekton cantelivers nearly three feet with minimal visual support giving ample knee space to those who lounge at the table. The two island kitchen with an eating bar and breakfast table solved every design dilemma a large long kitchen space can have. Functional spatial design combined with unique material selections and applications makes this kitchen truly the heART of the home!
