Kitchen & Bath Business - April 2020 - 32

DESIGN WITH

All in the Family

Married pros comfortably
collaborate during
major renovations

TISH MILLS AND SCOTT KIRK recently renovated the kitchen and master bath
in their mid-century modern-style home in Atlanta. As the two are professional designers - she residential, him corporate - they worked together to
find an aesthetic that worked for them both.
"We are affectionately known as the designer Brady Bunch," said Mills,
owner of Tish Mills Interiors. "My husband is all about the form and the
architecture, and I am more into the finishes and function."
The couple, who were recently married, wanted a fresh start for their large
family, which also includes five children. They chose materials and finishes
that can stand up to everyday wear and tear and set out to maximize the use
of smaller spaces.

ABOVE The new master bath is
something Mills and her family
smile about every day. Their
children often ask to use it
when they are away.
RIGHT The designer was able
to create a powder room by
adding a pocket door to the
toilet area in the master so
guests can use it.

UPDATING A TRULY DATED MASTER

The former bathroom was a disaster from 1989 - complete with travertine
flooring, glass vessel sinks and a vanity that was too short for either of their
totally different heights. There were even steps leading up to a hulking tub.
"We started out with the goal of putting lipstick on a pig and changing out
some of the tiles, but when we ripped out the flooring, we discovered water
damage,"said Mills."That's when my husband said it was time for me to have
the bathroom I really wanted."
They ended up reconfiguring the former space - swapping the locations of
the shower and the water closet. As there was no powder room before, they
decided to add a pocket door to the toilet area so it can transform into one
when guests are visiting. The tub stayed where it was but was updated to a
smaller freestanding unit, which Mills uses all the time.
