Taking home to the next level

The downstairs kitchen and bar area was completed five years after the home was finished. "I wanted a contemporary look," Donna says. "The house is very traditional, although I like it to be eclectic, but downstairs I wanted it to be totally different." Granite countertops cover a wall of glass blocks that change color with fiber optic lights. The backsplash is made of mosaic glass tiles. Scott Dean/AJC Special
