April Haggard of Haggard Home Cabinetry & Design believes that true craftsmanship, combined with innovative design, can transform any space. Her family-owned firm specializes in custom kitchens and baths, guiding homeowners through remodels with a focus on beauty, function, and quality. With a showroom featuring cabinetry, countertops, closets, and hardware, clients can explore endless possibilities.
For a recent kitchen redesign in Milton, Georgia, Haggard was tasked with creating a space tailored to clients who love to entertain. The existing kitchen was too small, and the island lacked seating. To solve this, she expanded the footprint, designed a larger island, and installed 16-foot accordion doors to seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors. The result was a kitchen perfect for gatherings, both inside and out.

To bring her clients’ dream kitchen to life, Haggard extended cabinetry along the hearth room wall, creating a longer, more functional island. When it came time to select appliances, she partnered with Luke Smith and Jeff Dauby at AjMadison to identify the best options. Together, they chose products from Monogram, GE, Bosch, and Sharp.
According to Haggard, the sleek design of these appliances elevated both the style and functionality of the space. Their modern look tied the design together, while their performance ensured the kitchen was as practical as it was beautiful—perfectly matching her clients’ vision.

How have these appliances elevated your clients’ kitchen experience?
“The Monogram dual-fuel range is sheer perfection,” April Haggard shares. “It gives them the versatility of a gas cooktop, the power of an electric oven, and the bonus of a built-in griddle. For a family that loves to entertain, it checks every box.”
She continues, “The homeowners also wanted appliances that blended seamlessly into the design. The Monogram refrigerator and range add a beautiful pop of stainless, while the panel-ready Bosch dishwashers disappear into the cabinetry but deliver the performance needed for a busy lifestyle.”
What does being part of the AjMadison Kitchen Design Collective mean to you?
“Being part of the Kitchen Design Collective is such a rewarding experience,” Haggard explains. “It allows us to partner with one of the most trusted appliance showrooms, where the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. AjMadison values us every bit as much as we value them, and that mutual respect makes every collaboration a success.”
