NOW THERE’S A PLACE FOR HIGH DESIGN WITHOUT HIGH MARKUP.
A place where vintage home furnishings and unique handmade designs come direct, without the overhead and prices of high-rent stores and enormous catalogs. Eco-friendly, reclaimed woods. Same quality. Same makers. One half to one third of established prices. Now there’s a place where design has value. Welcome to The District.
THE GREENWICH SOLID ACACIA DINING TABLE Acacia is nature’s remarkably durable hardwood. Our artisan first selects each 4-inch plank of acacia by hand, then allows it to age a full 120 days to enhance its character and solidity. It is his hands who craft, sand, inlay and finish each unique table, creating a piece of singular beauty, unlike any other table in the world. 94 inches long.

I’LL NEVER FORGET MY FIRST WINTER IN THE SOUTH. After enduring four bone-chillingly cold winters in the Northeast, I was eager to shed a wardrobe that consisted largely of bulky outerwear, among other waterproof apparel. It was November before the first hint of “chilly” weather arrived, and oh, what a sight—furs, boots, cashmere, leather— despite the fact that temps would return to the 60s later that day. Southerners, of course, maintain a grand sense of occasion, and Atlantans are no exception. We’ll endure our short few weeks of winter, but by the time March arrives, if daffodils and tulips aren’t blooming, and our outdoor perches aren’t light-filled, pressure-washed and at-theready for springtime entertaining to ensue, it’s grounds for depression. Regardless of what Mother Nature may have in store for us this spring, our March issue promises to banish any lingering winter blues, thanks to gardens gloriously in bloom (page 66), a pair of perfectly proportioned poolside retreats designed by the city’s top architects (page 62 and 78) and a selection of refined outdoor furnishings that might just inspire the creation of your own private backyard oasis. When home is the ultimate personal sanctuary, isn’t that the most indulgent luxury?

Winged Beauty
Can chicken coops—and the birds that inhabit them—be as stylish and chic as the abodes they overlook? Only
in the Brookwood Hills backyard of Kevin and Lee Kleinhelter, where a sleek black dwelling houses a flock of gloriously feathered white Silkies. “Having the coop really forced us to interact with our property more than we had ever planned,” says Lee of the design-minded space, accessed via custom round cement pavers.

NEEDLE IN THE THREAD
Finding a designer online who not only conforms to your budget but also frequents some of your favorite local design sources might feel like finding a needle in a haystack, but a new online platform, REFINED HAYSTACK, launching in Atlanta this month, promises to revolutionize that notion. Launched in Chicago in 2014 by former Merchandise Mart manager Sabrina Vodnik, Refined Haystack’s success is rooted in making connections—between interior designers and their networks (think the local artisans, boutiques and showrooms they patron)—as well as industry professionals and the homeowners who are seeking design services. In Atlanta, you’ll find online portfolios of designers such as CLOTH & KIND, T. DUFFY & ASSOCIATES and RINEHART DESIGN GROUP, complete with tagging capabilities, reviews and more. Over 3,500 connections have been made on the site’s Chicago platform; expect Atlanta, the South’s design hub, to meet, if not surpass, that number. refinedhaystack.com

The Cherokee Garden Library at the Atlanta History Center has become a national resource for preserving the beauty of the Southeastern landscape. WRITTEN BY
Suzanna Cullen Hamilton
PHOTOGRAPHED BY
WITH MORE THAN 30,000 OBJECTS related to the study of Southeastern horticulture and botanical history, the Cherokee Garden Library at the Atlanta History Center is among the most comprehensive resources in the country for documenting the study, conservation and preservation of the extraordinarily rich landscapes of the Southeast. Anne Coppedge Carr and members of the socially esteemed Cherokee Garden Club founded the Garden Library in 28
David Christensen
1975 as a means to preserve and explore gardening, landscape design, floral design, horticulture, botanical art and the ecology of the Southeastern United States. Under the guidance of Director Staci Catron, the Cherokee Garden Library has expanded its permanent collection to include books, photographs, seed catalogs, landscape drawings and various objects related to gardening dating from 1586 until the present. Catron has established an extensive calendar of educational and
public programs, as well as an endowment for acquisitions and a conservation fund. “The Garden Library is a repository for Southern horticultural study that is free and open to the public as a true educational resource, and our visitors range from Girl Scouts to renowned Master Gardeners to landscape historians,” says Catron. A distinct feature of the library is that it serves as a tangible experience that invites visitors to touch the objects and to tour the gardens at the Atlanta History Center. “We invite people to become a part of living history,” says Catron. Visitors may explore the multitude of gardens on the property, including the lavish Swan House Gardens, the historic grounds of the Smith Family Farm Gardens and the rambling wooded Swan Woods Trails, as well as other gardens that display the rich botanical heritage of the South. A prolific speaker and writer, Catron traverses the Southeast as she continues to bolster the library’s permanent collection. However, she is equally passionate about expanded programming that includes exhibitions, lectures and tours. Mrs. Carr would be delighted to see that her vision has flourished as much as the gardens. On April 12th, the Cherokee Garden Library presents“Southern Uncovered: An Evening with The Lee Brothers,” a program featuring Southern food and culture. atlantahistorycenter.com

CHEF S E C R E T S FOOD PHOTOS BY DAVID CHRISTENSEN
“I learn from my team and they learn from me. We bring more creativity to the table that way.” Chef Michael Perez, Colletta
Clearly, Colletta Executive Chef Michael Perez knows a thing or two about pleasing palates through creativity in the kitchen. With a background that ranges from cooking on cruise ships in Hawaii, a ski resort in Oregon and an Alaskan fishing resort, Perez has been rounding out his skills all over the country. He now splits his time between Colletta in Alpharetta and Indaco in Charleston where he is also Executive Chef. Both Italian concept restaurants are part of the Charleston-based Indigo
without surrendering traditional roots—his team serves up classic Italian dishes...with a rather large dash of soul. The menu at Colletta will delight the most loyal Italian cuisine aficionado— antipasti, pizzas, pastas, piatti (main dishes)— but surprises like Sous Vide Octopus with Confit, Fried Pork Cheeks and Cannellini Beans, or Pumpkin Risotto are just a couple of melt-inyour-mouth diversions. “If you want meatballs, we have that; if you want a steak grilled over an open fire, we have that,” says Chef Perez. “We always try new things while respecting tradition. Colletta does this really well.”

AROUND TOWN WITH
ILLUSTRATION BY EMILY ROBERTSON
Naomi Von Habersham DESPITE THE FACT THAT I GREW UP in the country, I am not an outdoorsy person. I loathe bugs and dirt, detest getting rained on and feel faint when the humidity approaches 80 percent. I guess you could call me a real hothouse flower, one that withers if forced to spend too much time outdoors, exposed to the elements. But my aversion to communing with nature doesn’t mean I have to completely forgo the benefits of the outdoors—specifically, the scents and sounds of Mother Nature that even I find appealing. Let’s say I want to pretend that I’m in a forest, surrounded by pine trees. All I need to do is light Rigaud’s Cyprès candle, and I’m quickly transported to an imaginary Carolina pine forest, one without pesky pine needles and bugs. Of course, the more economical option would be to clean your house with Pine-Sol, but the effect will be slightly less luxurious. If it’s a meadow you wish to be transported to, there are a host of products at your disposal. You can wash your clothes with Tide Spring Meadow detergent, refresh your rooms with Febreze Meadows & Rain spray and lather up with Crabtree & Evelyn’s Somerset Meadow bath gel. Basically, no matter where you go in your house, the smell of a meadow will never be far away. And in my opinion, the outdoors sound a lot better when indoors. I’m addicted to my phone’s white noise app, which lulls me to sleep every night. The cricket chirps and frog ribbits of the Twilight Insects setting have a soporific effect on me (strange, considering crickets creep me out and frogs I find slimy). On cold nights, I’ll cue Campfire. You get the auditory benefits of a crackling, roaring campfire without having to pitch a tent. And then there’s the—wait for it—Country Meadow, which mimics the sounds of birds chirping and singing in, yes, another meadow. So, fellow homebodies, don’t fret. Thanks to these clever ruses, you too can enjoy the pleasures of the outdoors, all within the confines of your comfortable home.

“FOURTH TIME’S THE CHARM,” jokes designer Margaret Bosbyshell of Margaux Interiors. She has decorated three previous homes for her beloved clients, but as their three children grew up, the home’s intention transitioned from raising youngsters to entertaining the young at heart. When the family moved into their fourth abode in 2011—a five-bed/five-bath renovated ranch house on a deep, lush lot in Chastain Park—Bosbyshell styled the new space with their former furnishings. But three years later, with their youngest child leaving for college, the soon-to-be empty-nesters and frequent entertainers were ready for an interior refresh. “They originally had a warmer color palette with lots of yellows and rusts but craved a more relaxed and contemporary style that still felt traditional,” says Bosbyshell. The lush grounds, designed by Hastings Landscape, and livable backyard patio were the catalyst of the redesign. Tall-paned windows throughout the main floor seamlessly 53

connect the interior and exterior while allowing in ample streams of natural light. With a new emphasis on connecting the outside with the inside, Bosbyshell honed in on a clean-lined interior and selected a coastal-inspired palette of lighter blues and creams reminiscent of the family’s travels to Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The great room surrounds framed windows and French doors that lead to the arched outdoor patio and fireplace. Since the family craved a cozy room to watch TV and to entertain, Bosbyshell selected fabrics that were chic yet subtle in comforting colors and rich textures. The interior flows casually throughout the home thanks to a mix of soft-hued furnishings, dewy walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s Morning Light and an abstract painting by Sarah Otts from Anne Irwin Fine Art. And as a playful nod to the sun-filled space, a starburst mirror from Mr. Brown London at Holland & Company mounted above the natural stone fireplace acts as a visual anchor—and burst of sunshine—for the popular hangout. The airy breakfast nook boasts a custom round table from Old Biscayne Designs and rattan-inspired seating from Hickory Chair, perfect for sipping coffee while overlooking the terrace or as a serving station for large parties. A sleek, platinum-finished wall unit, also by Old Biscayne Designs, displays the homeowner’s pottery collection, including coastal-inspired pieces from South Carolina’s Lowcountry. 55

As frequent entertainers, the couple wanted a home that effortlessly transitioned from respite with family to festive fĂŞtes with friends, sometimes within minutes. Rather than a formal elongated dining room table, Bosbyshell incorporated a custom round walnut table from Holland & Company and paired it with Wesley Hall dining chairs for a more intimate arrangement that lends itself to potluck suppers as well as sit-down dinners. “It was important that the home felt approachable and elegant,â€? Bosbyshell says. And thanks to its composed decor and multifaceted rooms, the family achieved a comfortable and capable open house, no matter the dress code. See Resources, Back of Book. 56

RETREAT
A YOUNG BUCKHEAD FAMILY BUILDS AN ON-SITE OASIS WITH THE DEFT DESIGN HANDS OF D. STANLEY DIXON AND JOHN HOWARD. WRITTEN BY Kate
WHEN A PAIR OF BUCKHEAD DWELLERS approached D. Stanley Dixon to create their dream pool house, they knew the acclaimed architect would be an excellent fit; after all, he’d already won a Shutze award for his design of their main residence, commissioned by previous owners years before. Naturally, he referenced the same New England Dutch Colonial hallmarks, including the gambrel roof, a mix of tumbled Tennessee fieldstone and reclaimed granite, painted wood siding and machinesplit cedar shake shingles for a warm yet refined effect. Other delightful details—such as the mock pigeonnier crowning the garden shed—further define what Dixon describes as a “destination pool,” set deep into the property, fairly removed from the house. For this reason, lauded landscape architect John Howard was instrumental in siting the structure beneath a curving oak tree. Summer months are the family’s favorite for enjoying their sundappled retreat, dining alfresco on the loggia between its two main 62

volumes and lounging on its boxwood-dotted patio. “They spend entire Saturdays here, barbecue grilling, hanging out, watching TV, taking a nap (in the charming bunk room or loft, perhaps) and swimming,” says Dixon, who provided deft direction for the homeowners’ interior design, as well. “It’s youthful, sophisticated and a bit bohemian. The husband is an avid hunter and had a very large European mount that we used as a focal point. It says a lot about them and their personal tastes.” A vintage teak coffee table, rush carpets, Mexican textiles and a sparkling Jean de Merry chandelier add eclectic elegance to the double-height living room, which also boasts limewashed wood beams, painted wood floors, boarded and skim-coated plaster walls, and whimsical windows that keep things light and bright. “It’s old-fashioned, comfortable … a little bit unpredictable,” Dixon says. And what could be better in one’s own backyard? See Resources, Back of Book.

AFTER YEARS OF LONGING FOR THE WIDE-OPEN SPACES of the country but still wanting the city within arm’s reach, a family of five discovered their dream domicile in 2003 on a dilapidated Sandy Springs property. The forgotten home offered little besides good bones and three green acres worth digging into. “The house was being sold as a tear-down, but we saw the hidden potential,” says the homeowner. Thirteen years and a handful of renovations later, the decor was overdue for a face-lift by Meridy King of Meridy King Interiors. Her mission: to highlight the home’s character while keeping in mind the lush gardens and grounds. The homeowners consider the house and gardens as one continuous space, so King channeled the great outdoors into the 10,000-square-foot house to achieve a dreamy but durable design.

seamlessly intertwine thanks to large-scale, iron-trimmed doorways that lead to the front courtyard, where family dog Rambo is occasionally known to hold court.
Livability was a top priority. With pets, family, frequent houseguests and countless parties, the home needed to be sophisticated but resilient from the elements of day-to-day living. Easy-to-clean limestone and hardwood make for warm, rustic and ultimately forgiving floors, while elegant, fine-lined furnishings add sit-and-stay appeal. The two-story living room is the heart of the home, where streams of natural light bounce off the crisp white walls that once sported a heavier hue that did no service to the space. The lighter surface now spotlights the wooden-framed windows, beamed ceiling and grand flagstone fireplace. King selected a soft, neutral palette that pulls from the outdoors and reflects the family’s playful personality. Cream upholstered seating adorned with pillows covered in Nancy Corzine and Galbraith & Paul fabrics pops with blues, greens and grays and complements the large abstract painting by artist

Relaxed refinement continues in the dining room and light-filled bedrooms, where careful consideration to color gives an effortless elegance to the spaces that share attention with sweeping views of the blooming yard. The grounds were always revered as a continuation of the main house, with the homeowners investing hundreds of hours into making the outdoors into a true living room. After purchasing the property, the entire yard was dynamited; the unearthed soil was used to build dozens of beds and the large-scale granite boulders were incorporated to frame the yard and act as sculptural artwork. With the help of Adriana Hernandez of Arcoiris Design Gardening, the segmented yard now boasts a bounty of fruitful gardens growing the likes of herbs, hydrangeas, roses and cutting flowers, as well as quiet sitting nooks tucked away throughout the property. “With Atlanta’s temperate climate, we spend 10 months of the year reaping the benefits of the outdoors, even when we’re inside,” says the homeowner. “Thanks to the light-filled main house opening onto acres of green gardens, we feel like we’re on a continuous vacation.” See Resources, Back of Book.

WHILE MANY PEOPLE THINK of a pool house as an outdoor rec room where not-sorefined furniture and terry cloth towels go to retire, decorator Jennifer Healey of J. Healey Interiors upgraded this concept, designing a breezy and elegant poolside cottage that acts more like an extended arm of the home. For their dream outdoor retreat, the homeowners envisioned a space that easily transitioned with their varying needs: hangout room for their three teenagers, entertaining space for poolside parties, and comfortable guesthouse for extended-stay guests. To achieve this, they enlisted architect Yong Pak of Pak Heydt & Associates to create a fluid layout that complements the main house and nestles naturally into their lush backyard design by Richard Anderson. The family also sought a setup that was inviting year-round. Stained tongue-andgroove Douglas fir covers the walls and ceilings for a welcoming texture that feels authentic against the rock exterior. To create a more traditional look, the design team brought the horizontal layout of the planks into the kitchenette for a sleek, continuous room with a smooth façade that doesn’t skew too rough or rustic. Pak’s streamlined design focused on raw elements like stone, wood, steel and glass, so Healey selected lighting that would enhance the natural beauty of the space without stealing the spotlight. “The way we approached lighting was the catalyst for much of the project,” Healey said. Instead of overly decorative pieces, she chose simple yet stunning fixtures that echo the space. Suzanne 79

Two Christopher Spitzmiller lamps are visible from the exterior, intentionally integrating themselves into both the front porch vignette and the interior. Custom concrete waterfall consoles by John Ziebarth of Turning Stone Design create sculpted symmetry in the spacious main room to balance the multifaceted space, which houses a pool table on one side and club chairs on the other. Additionally, these do double duty as serving tables when the homeowners entertain large groups of friends. “We wanted the eye to take in general ideas like shapes and finish, versus pattern or fussy details,” says Healey, who selected furnishings intentionally sculptural in shape to mix with a contemporary color palette that pulls from the outdoors. “We didn’t want the interior to distract from the main view—the lovely pool,” she says. See Resources, Back of Book.

THE LAVA ROCK WALKWAY LEADING to The Cape, the hottest new hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico, descends to an open-air lobby with a large humpback whale constructed of driftwood at its entry. Opened last June and the first Thompson Hotel in Mexico, this minimalist hostelry embraces Cabo’s desert-meets-ocean setting with a spare, neo-industrial design nearly drained of color. In a sun-kissed destination known for its lush hideaways, The Cape, as toned down as Tribeca without the urban grit, brings an entirely new aesthetic to Cabo’s hospitality landscape. The Cape is matte black timbered walls, slabs of unfinished concrete, buffed steel accents. No adobe, no barrel roofs. Angled to El Arco, the iconic sea arch at Land’s End, the 161-suite property fronts Monuments Beach, one of the best surf breaks in Los Cabos. Catch a wave if you’re brave—or watch the locals ride the foaming waters to the boulder-strewn shore. The best vantage point is a toss-up: the dark-bottomed infinity pool and its swim-up bar, or the comfy daybed for two suspended by steel cables on the balcony of each suite. What appears to be a trio of unfinished structures is in fact a less-is-more “concept” that does not compete with the beach and sea. The eye travels beyond the neutral edifices to a broad bay and the mountains at Land’s End that mark the terminus of the Baja peninsula. The public spaces, notably the sunken lobby bar, are a study in understated elegance. The sixth-floor rooftop lounge, with its fine views of the Sea of Cortez and nearby Cabo San Lucas, is a tip of the hat to city life. Manta, the signature restaurant headed by chef Enrique Olvera, presents a pan-Pacific interpretation of traditional Mexican cuisine. (The grilled octopus is a revelation.) The dark-walled Currents Spa is an ominous labyrinth at first glance, but the enveloping darkness and ocean sounds are soothing. Guest rooms, including multi-bedroom suites, are accented by hand-painted tiles, custom-made furniture, a glass cube rain shower, a freestanding tub, and a shelf of books devoted to the ’60s California surf scene. Led by a personable, engaging staff, The Cape succeeds by making nature, not itself, the star. (877) 793-8527; thompsonhotels.com/hotels/ The-Cape-Los-Cabos

VENT STACKS, AVENUE DE CHAMPAGNE, CELLARS PHOTOS BY MICHEL JOLYOT. CHATEAU DE FERE BY GT2015.
IN THE CHAMPAGNE REGION OF NORTHEASTERN FRANCE, three grape varieties—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier—have been enriched by a unique terroir and artfully blended in winemaking. The earliest Champagne wines were popular with royalty in medieval times, but it was the late 17th century before winemakers began to master fermentation and effervescence in the bubbly wine that came to be the legendary drink of celebration. Champagne has stayed true to its traditions that became the benchmark method for making sparkling wine. Today, more than 300 producers reflect the passion of trailblazers who shaped the Champagne industry—from the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon to visionary merchants such as Claude Ruinart and a plucky widow, Veuve Clicquot. Their stories are revealed in tours and tastings at Champagne houses across the winemaking region. Moët & Chandon, a favorite on the elegant Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, showcases the region’s largest labyrinth of cellars. Two standouts in the city of Reims are the house of Mumm (the official Champagne of the Kentucky Derby and Formula E) and Vranken-Pommery, for its contemporary art installations in the ancient caves, once chalk quarries dug by the Gallo-Romans. Pommery offers an optional tour of its Villa Demoiselle, a must-see for lovers of Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. Beaucoup de Champagne may already have you flying high, but an aerial tour with AéroClub Épernay Plivot is a wonderful way to enjoy the scenery. Or take the bus—Bus en Vignes—for a countryside excursion that includes an epicurean feast with Champagne pairings. Highlights of a visit to the region include a tour of Reims’ famous Gothic cathedral, where 25 kings have been crowned. With recent restorations, the cathedral’s stained glass windows feature modern designs by Marc Chagall and German artist Imi Knoebel. And, not to be missed, the medieval village of Hautvillers is a true gem, home to the abbey where Dom Pérignon spent 47 years blending grapes, laying the foundation for the acclaimed “Méthode Champenoise.” Champagne captures the essence of French savoir faire, and its effervescence goes beyond bubbles in a bottle. Sipping a flute of the sparkling wine that fizzes with panache is said to make the soul come alive for all who taste it. Santé!

DESTINATION: WELLNESS Ultra-luxurious Parrot Cay is every bit as zen-sitive as it is chic. WRITTEN BY Gina

ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT PARROT CAY IN the Turks and Caicos Islands is one of the world’s lushest resorts and remote private getaways (Bruce Willis, Christie Brinkley, Donna Karan and Keith Richards have sprawling retreats here), the island is almost entirely nature preserve. Its appeal is enchanting. People travel to Parrot Cay for the remote luxury, but also to wade in the crystal-clear sea and admire what is perhaps the world’s most pristine white sand beach. They relish the swaying palms and tropical air, maybe even the tug of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the marshes and mangroves on the other. But the main draw is more holistic—concentrating on wholeness of the individual, balancing body, mind and spirit. “Parrot Cay is COMO Resort’s original ‘Shambhala’ Retreat,” says General Manager Pascal Mongeau. “We believe that good 90

health is not a luxury but a necessity, achieved through balance.” With yoga at its heart, COMO Shambhala is the healthy-living philosophy inspired by the mythological roots of “Shambhala”—the sacred place of bliss. Activities are based on this wellness concept, with world-class experts helping guests find their own zen as they explore synergies between the head, heart and physical being. COMO Shambhala’s spa therapies (including Ayurveda), yoga and Pilates combine with fitness-oriented activities such as biking, nature walks or water-based adventures, and a special ‘living foods’ tradition known as Shambhala Cuisine. Shambhala menu choices are offered along with a traditional menu at all meals. The Shambhala dishes are nutritionally rich with calibrated ingredients designed to balance nutrients and enzymes. Many ingredients are used in their raw form so that vitamins, minerals and living enzymes are retained. Not only does the staff recognize guests’ desires for simple, authentic cooking, great emphasis is also put on refreshingly simple dishes featuring local fish and seafood. Daytime activity options are never-ending, but those in search of rollicking nightlife should probably go elsewhere. Relaxation becomes addictive here so it is ideal for people who seek a fully immersive communion with nature (yet not at the expense of five-star pampering) and forego a wildand-crazy party atmosphere. Accommodations are tropically airy and elegant, most offering ocean views. Luxurious rooms and suites, beach villas and even beach houses rival anything you’ll ever see on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Villas and houses are surrounded by private dining pavilions and infinity pools, and are just a few steps from the beach. One of the beach houses, The Sanctuary, owned by fashion icon Donna Karan, uniquely features two beachside houses that can be rented as one. Each house has a second-floor master with 360 degree views of the ocean, two personal butlers and a chef. Parrot Cay by COMO is situated on a private island in Turks and Caicos, 575 miles southeast of Miami, and is accessible only by boat from Providenciales, the main island. Direct flights from Atlanta to “Provo” are available daily. comohotels.

MARCIA SHERRILL
marcia’s favorite place
THE SCREENED PORCH
MARCIA REFLECTS ON THE LONGEVITY OF THE SCREENED PORCH, A MUST-HAVE FOR OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING AND, THANKS TO ATLANTA’S TEMPERATE CLIMATE, A STAPLE FOR FASHIONABLE ATLANTANS.
DOWN IN ATLANTA, THERE’S NOTHING WE LOVE MORE THAN INDULGING in the luxury of a screened-in porch—nearly all year long, in fact—while our Northern friends’ outdoor fun is decidedly much more short-lived. Sure, we enlist our designers and architects to install ceiling- and wall-mouted outdoor heaters (heat lamps, I’m afraid, are now absurdly outdated), but the truth is, we’re flipping those switches when temps dip below 65, which, ironically, is about the same time when Northerners trade 96
their boots for flip flops and blankets for picnic baskets. And, while during the ’70s and ’80s, women pined for for glassed-in porches and chintzy white rattan furniture (someone, somewhere had the nerve to decry the screen itself as ugly, metal, and the opposite of decorative), today’s screened porches have returned with a vengeance (how fast can you say “mosquito-borne illness”?) Where better a place than to lounge, feel the breeze, shoot the breeze and laze away the day. This is a place we call home.
ERICA GEORGE DINES
Drawing inspiration from the late Dorothy Draper, designer Craig Duncan created a freestanding screened-in porch that’s a blend of indoor refinement and natural flair.

Continuum Sink
The Continuum sink is a re-imagination of an everyday object. Designed by internationally renowned kitchen and bath designer Matthew Quinn, Continuum is a semi-recessed sink that utilizes the countertop hole cut-out as the sink bottom, enabling the striations of the counter material to visually flow through the sink. The countertop cut-out sits on three leveling feet to form a faux bottom of the sink. Continuum is fashioned in MTI’s proprietary Engineered Solid Stone™, a mixture of natural ground materials and high-performance resins. It is non-porous, 100% solid and easy to maintain. With nearly 65% of the material being organic, Continuum is also environmentally friendly.

A LETTER FROM
THE
PRESIDENT
AND TOUR OF KITCHENS
CHAIR
Dear Friends and Patrons, Welcome to The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc.’s 19th Annual Tour of Kitchens! An Atlanta springtime tradition, the Tour of Kitchens has raised more than $1.8 million since its inception to advance our mission of promoting volunteerism, develop the potential of our members, and improve our community. The Junior League of Atlanta (JLA) is an organization of women volunteer leaders who have, for the last 99 years, continued to make a positive impact in our community. We are 3,500 brave and bold trained volunteers who contribute approximately 75,000 volunteer hours each year to local nonprofit agencies supporting women and children. JLA members are working to improve Atlanta by focusing on early childhood education, human trafficking, and generational poverty. We are women transforming our city. The JLA Tour of Kitchens and associated Toast of the Tour party are one way you help us create a better Atlanta. We introduced our patrons to a new event this year, Pour Before the Tour, celebrating the launch of the 19th annual Tour of Kitchen ticket sales. We extend our gratitude to Williams-Sonoma, Inc., the host and sponsor of this inaugural event, for this tremendously successful affair. Toast of the Tour, the official kick-off party for Tour of Kitchens, celebrates our gracious homeowners, talented designers, and wonderful contractors responsible for the awe-inspiring kitchens on the Tour. There, attendees enjoy gourmet food stations and signature cocktails, as well as the highly anticipated silent auction. Our thanks as well to PIRCH, our generous Toast of the Tour host, for creating one of the most talked about events of the League year. You will be inspired by the vision and artistry of 14 prominent kitchen designers during the two-day Tour of Kitchens while enjoying culinary demonstrations from some of Atlanta’s top chefs. For 19 years, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine and Brad Hanner have partnered with the JLA to make the Tour of Kitchens a success. We are grateful for their continued commitment to the JLA. Your patronage of the Tour of Kitchens empowers our members to truly be “Women Transforming our Community.” Enjoy the tour!
Warmly,
Sarah Batts Jennifer Paucke 2015-2016 President 2015-2016 Tour of Kitchens, Chair The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc. The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
The original kitchen was designed primarily with aesthetics in mind with very little upper storage. A storage room/scullery located behind the hood wall was the home to several of the appliances and most of the storage for the kitchen. The ovens were also located in this windowless space. For such a large room with 12’ high ceilings, the hood seemed dwarfed in the space and a large stainless refrigerator and beverage center surrounded the sink window, consuming any storage offered on the sink wall. With the new homeowner desiring more of a chef’s kitchen, the scullery was torn out and the space was added to the main kitchen. State-of-the-art appliances were incorporated into the kitchen including separate wall ovens both at a perfect ergonomic height, a built-in coffee system, microwave, warming drawer, cooktop, Teppanyaki flat grill, double downdrafts, and a pot filler faucet. Upper cabinet storage was added, with glass doors and decorative mullions for a bit of flair and cantilevered stainless corner shelves for a bit of interest. A massive island with a quartzite waterfall top adds a great prep space and opportunity for the homeowner/chef to visit with guests while entertaining.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
Our client’s 1994 6,000 sq. ft. home is a blend of contemporary and traditional architectural styles featuring a large, open floor plan. Unfortunately, the spacious kitchen and breakfast room were outfitted with low-grade cabinetry, fixtures and appliances and faced issues with inadequate storage, an undersized island, and a misplaced closet and laundry room, all of which showed 21 years of use. Our client wanted an elegant, functional chef’s kitchen, featuring ample storage space and refrigeration, more island work space, and better functionality for both day-to-day living and entertaining. The new kitchen was designed with custom cabinetry, a 48” range, and custom hood. A luxuriously sized island with a farmhouse sink was added, featuring overhang seating and an integrated 4x6 breakfast table. Perimeter cabinetry now boasts generous storage and an abundance of quartz countertop space, plus a supporting butler’s pantry and mudroom. The homeowners are thrilled with their preparation alternatives: convection or steam ovens, gas burners, a grill or griddle or a microwave drawer, and the ever toasty warming draw. Increased storage space was provided by utilizing an auxiliary stacked W/D and a mudroom-style wardrobe with storage nooks. The kitchen design features exquisite cabinetry for serving items, more countertop space, a supplemental prep/cleanup sink and refrigeration drawers.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
This renovation marks a very special shift for the homeowners as they approach being empty nesters. They were ready to create a space that is a true reflection of their style and personality, while incorporating their love for the low country. In order to achieve this look, the space was opened so that the kitchen worked as the center of the whole main floor. Walls across the back of the home were all converted to windows to maximize light. Wood-clad ceiling and aged brick walls were added to bring the low country into the home. The light colored cabinetry and butcher block island add a balance of light and warmth against the new medium brown floors. All the latest in appliances including the concealed steam oven were used to create a chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking experience. The Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pantry, which is tucked into the new dining room, serves as the beverage station for the family and transitions the dining room from a rarely used to daily space. Finally, the lighting, which is a mix of aged lanterns and an antique chandelier, add character to the space and the classic furnishings that flank the space create comfort while the soft fabric palette adds to the peaceful space.

The home is right out of the low country and into the city. Classic, sophisticated, yet comfortable.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
Morgan Creek’s featured kitchen this year is in a new home on that lovely stretch of Paces Ferry Road leading from Vinings to Buckhead. The house itself is a beautiful classic European creation by Harrison Design - full of stone and stucco, as well as large windows that catch the light from every angle - constructed faithfully by Rick Fierer of Bildon Construction and Development. The large windows and the welcoming layout are two of the owner’s favorite features of the kitchen, which is centrally located by the main stairway and open to the large breakfast room. What we love about this kitchen is the beautiful understated styling of the room devised by interior designer Karen Ferguson of Harrison Design. The combination of the brown oak floors, cabinetry with a rich gray wash on natural cypress (a favorite of Morgan Creek), the deep walnut island, tasteful stone selections, and forged ironwork lighting makes the kitchen feel like an informal living area and helps counterbalance the more functional stainless range and chimney-style range hood. Another of the homeowner’s favorite features is the built-in morning bar in the breakfast room, also in the graywash cypress, that achieves our objective of concealing practical utility behind a stylish exterior.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
The original kitchen in this wonderful home was closed off and did not have a view of the backyard and pool. The layout of the adjoining family room did not reflect the needs of a growing family. We brought in architect Frank Irizarry to redesign the space and the result was a more open kitchen, new family room with terrific light and views of the pool, a new media room, and a redesigned office off of the kitchen. Above, we added a new master suite. Now the layout flows from kitchen to family room and out to a new covered porch for poolside gatherings. The thin brick backsplash brings an air of informality to the kitchen. Hardwood flooring adds warmth and ties all the rooms together. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces make everyone comfortable. Each family member can now enjoy varied activities while remaining physically close to one another.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
This classic Ansley Park house, built in 1910, had a kitchen that needed updating and did not make the best use of the space. It felt cramped to work in and the peninsula made the traffic flow difficult for an active family. The redesigned layout features a large island with seating, and a range was placed between two tall windows with a custom hood as a focal point. Inset custom cabinetry by Rutt HandCrafted Cabinetry was chosen to harmonize with the Craftsman details in the home. Look for special features such as the secret cabinets on the ends of the island with touch latches and a hidden wine refrigerator disguised as drawers. The countertops in Calacatta marble on the perimeter and heartwood walnut on the island have a reverse cove detail that echoes the cove molding on the cabinetry. The homeowners love the spaciousness and functionality of the new kitchen, the seating on the island, and the state-of-the-art appliances. They now feel that they have a kitchen that is worthy of the house for cooking, entertaining and bringing up their two daughters.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
This home started out life as a split level ranch. Our client’s desire was to create a home that had the character of an old Anglican Church or English Manor. This required tapping into the mysterious, honest, raw and natural qualities these structures encompass. While the façade is formal and elegant, surprises await through the front door. Soaring spaces, thickened passages and dramatic arches make up the formal approach of the house. Stained wood, raw steel, stone walls and handcrafted concrete floor tiles are also incorporated, creating the feel of an old English manor. Narrow mezzanines and winding stairs create the magic. The kitchen is nestled in the center of the home and embraces the outdoors. Functionality and ample storage include a mudroom and butler’s pantry. The kitchen reflects the character of the home and is accented by a handcrafted pewter vent hood and island legs.
7 712 W. Ponce de Leon Ave. Decatur, GA 30030
Custom cabinets throughout the home were beautifully created by the fine craftsman at Wood Cabinet Design. The overall vision for this home was carefully and artfully executed by the amazing team at John Wesley Hammer Construction.

When this native Californian chef isn’t at home perfecting his baby back ribs recipe, he’s busy navigating the kitchen at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta where he works alongside Executive Chef Gerstenecker to oversee the breakfast, lunch, Sunday Brunch and banquets program for the hotel and its restaurant, Bar Margot. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America-Napa Valley, Derek says he was born a chef. His mom, a hotel catering executive, exposed him to the science of food since his childhood and, by the age of 17, Derek knew his career would involve a cutting board and chef’s jacket.

OF
POPS -

Tyler’s not a “bro,” but he’s not not a “bro” either. He came to King of Pops in 2014 after cutting his teeth with Atlanta burrito legend, Willy’s.

Give him a call if you need pops, or if you just want to talk about absolutely nothing for 15 minutes. Outside of the office you’ll find him on his bike, in downward dog, or at an Atlanta sporting event.

THE KITCHEN
Classical and timeless is the best way to describe this functional yet comfortable kitchen. Kingdom Woodworks has a great affinity for this style as long as it is performed with originality and craftsmanship, suitable for both cooking and entertaining. A “sculptural” mix of Old World plaster, reclaimed beams, marble countertops and hand-crafted custom wood cabinetry tie this kitchen together to create a beautiful functional design.
4632 Dudley Ln. NW Atlanta, GA 30327
One of the most elegant features of this kitchen is the two handcrafted furniture-style islands. The careful attention to detail and the fine workmanship that is on display on these pieces is something very seldom seen in today’s kitchens, yet they work beautifully for both cooking as well as a place for up to four people to gather together for each meal. Besides ceiling lights, beautiful chandeliers and ornamental lamps were also utilized for the lighting of this space. Equally important is the decorative cabinet hardware, the “jewelry” of this exquisite kitchen and the finishing touch to this wonderful ensemble!

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
The kitchen in this newly constructed home complements the light, ethereal atmosphere of the space. The crisp, contemporary lines of the monumental marble parsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frame are softened by the texture of the custom coastal gray finish on quarter sawn oak cabinetry. Balance and proportion are key in the design that features elongated cabinets flanking the marble frame and vibrant Statuarietto marble backsplash. Mirrors sparkle from behind pocketed cabinet doors to allow for design flexibility between hidden storage and decorative display. The cutting edge functionality of the kitchen is exhibited with integrated appliances and a commercial-grade range. Deep cove panels on the sides of the island and the exquisite lighting above anchor it as the centerpiece of the kitchen. The modern features of the kitchen are highlighted by the Purist faucet and clean glass hardware.

THE KITCHEN
Soaring ceilings and clerestory windows created incredible architectural drama and hierarchy to this space and presented a challenge in making the kitchen feel comfortable. The navy blue La Cornue and the mixed metal hood anchor - the 16-foot tall wall balancing the keeping room fireplace at the opposite end of this 36-foot long room. Bleached and stained cherry cabinetry and slabs of marble extend upwards to ten feet while framed panels of antique mirror reflect the light and view from the clerestory windows above. A large blue lacquered island is the primary prep space with clean up and dish storage and small appliances are hidden behind pocket doors on the window wall overlooking the covered porch. A working pantry holds another oven, steam oven, freezer, sink, dishwasher and even a small induction cooktop. Dual entry glass hutch doors allow access to dishes from the hall leading to the dining room and from within the working pantry. The combination of multiple cabinet finishes along with the Calacatta Capri marble, walnut stained floors and eating bar, brass and stainless hardware and hood, and iron light fixtures and windows complete the comfortability of the kitchen.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
The renovation of this contemporary family home included a sensitive makeover of the kitchen and adjacent areas. Equipped for the serious cook, the kitchen integrates professional-caliber stainlesssteel appliances, including a French-door wall oven amid cabinetry clusters that provide generous storage. Glass-fronted upper cabinets provide a clean finish up to the ceiling line, with windows that display prized pottery or plates. The cabinetry’s warm white hue and inset-style drawer and door fronts complement the island’s chocolatey hue and the floor’s honey coloring. The hood and pendant lights above the island add an industrial element, a welcome contrast to the cabinetry’s transitional style. Thoughtful details such as the pot filler, range-side spice cabinet/drawer, and appliance garage anticipate the cook’s workflow. The installation also includes a conveniently placed desk workwall, which can be closed when not in use to keep the area tidy.

THE KITCHEN
Fun yet functional, modern but traditional – an innovative kitchen remodel with an approaching deadline of Christmas could only be accomplished by the best. With the clients’ concise time frame and high demands, Rocco Sinisgalli and his team at Oneida Builders, specializing in their eight week kitchen renovation, were the firm to call. The remodel was custom designed to combine the wife’s modern style with her husband’s traditional flair. Inspired by an Italian mosaic, the backsplash is a custom gradient blend of glass tile. The kitchen has a unique U-shaped island, a custom heat resistant wall cabinet to hold a television over their cooktop, a relaxing coffee bar, and a full bar with baby grand piano all while remaining open – ideal for cooking and entertaining. In order to achieve the necessary space, a concealed steel beam now replaces the old wall between the kitchen and dining room. The clients could not have been more pleased with their now complete renovation in eight weeks!

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
Built in 1971, this traditional Georgian-style home featured a small, builder-grade kitchen isolated from the rest of the house. Years of water damage and poor construction finally drove the homeowners to call in HammerSmith to address their structural issues, poor layout and space concerns. The homeowners needed a kitchen capable of accommodating their growing family and their love of entertaining. Budget was key, so HammerSmith creatively gave the clients the necessary extra space by expanding the kitchen several feet into the garage as well as into an oversized powder room. By relocating the washer/dryer, a new walk-in pantry featuring a hidden door and second refrigerator was possible. The enlarged kitchen allows for a breakfast area with seating for six and is delineated by a series of beams cut into the ceiling--a motif that repeats over the farmhouse sink. The backsplash tile is crafted of inlaid marble squares, with a matching pattern cut into the custom cabinet doors. The resulting kitchen is timeless and elegant, perfect for cooking, entertaining and sharing quality family time.

ABOUT
THE KITCHEN
This stunning chef and prep kitchen was designed as part of a 2015 custom home project. The focal point of the main kitchen is the extra-large island, which sits 8, and features a 48” professional range top. This allows the homeowners to cook while entertaining family and friends. Two freestanding custom cabinets on either side of the window are used as china cabinets and made with doors from an old school’s windows in South Georgia. The “prep” kitchen is separated from the main kitchen with 9-light French doors. This division closes off messy work areas and undesired views. The ceilings were dropped in the kitchen area and constructed with tongue and groove wood. Lowering the ceiling made the space cozier and made the living room ceiling grander by contrast. The clean cabinet lines, countertops’ square edges and simple cabinet pulls add a modern flair. The neutral color palate of the kitchen is complemented by a strike of color that is stylishly delivered with these custom window curtains.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM CHIEF TASTER DICK DENNY
One of my favorite wine retailers told me he had a customer who took a bottle of Colgin (one of California’s great CULT cabernets) to a fancy New York restaurant where the sommelier took one look at the vintage and asked to put it in a food blender. It sounded weird, but it worked; the result propelled a wonderful, vibrant wine into one more mature than its vintage. Well, we won’t be shaking and blending our wine this year, but almost everything else will be “all shook up.” The High Museum has a new Director and a new Chairman of the Board, AND we have a new site to set up our trademark auction tents.
2016 Co-chairs Dina Woodruff and Leigh Walsh kick off the 24th anniversary with Chief Taster Dick Denny.
AUCTION CO-CHAIRS Leigh Walsh Dina Woodruff ASSISTANT MANAGER Amy Fortson COORDINATORS Carole Ashworth Crystal Love CONSULTANTS Elizabeth McDonald Rob McDonald Woodie Wisebram
Don’t despair. The new Director, Rand Suffolk, comes from a museum that has held several very successful wine auctions, and he enjoys sipping the good stuff. Our new Board Chair is our venerable auction volunteer, Charles Abney. Our glorious tents will look even more stunning in our new venue—the Atlanta Braves Green lot (right where Hank’s record-breaking home run landed). Our new Atlanta Braves sponsors—we have it on good authority—are led by a wine-loving trio of executives who look forward not only to supporting us but also partying with us. To be sure all is not new and untried, we have some experienced hands helping steer the new folk. Dina Woodruff, a past successful Co-chair, is teaming with Leigh Walsh as this year’s Co-chairs, leading the charge with our dynamic auction committee full of longtime volunteers and our many returning sponsors. Just take a look at our theme and artwork, and you’ll know we’re off in the right direction. We’re CRUSHIN’ IT with the extensive line-up of renowned winemakers and chefs who have signed up to offer their pours and tastes, not to mention exciting auction lots, for our funloving crowd. I already have a CRUSH on all of them, and I’m sure you will too. Come join us in a celebration of good things in wine and food and art. Cheers,
DICK DENNY, CHIEF TASTER

2016 SPECIAL GUEST OF HONOR
CHUCK WAGNER OWNER & WINEMAKER, CAYMUS VINEYARDS
Smart, affable and down to earth (and by earth we mean some of the finest vineyard real estate in Napa Valley), Chuck Wagner has an impeccable resume for a man who considers himself a farmer at heart. Chuck and his parents started Caymus Vineyards in 1972 when they decided to turn the family’s passion and skill for making wine grown from fruit on their own land into a commercial business. The Wagner family obviously knew what they were doing. Anyone who has ever had a bottle of Caymus, Mer Soleil, Belle Glos, Emmolo or Conundrum made by Chuck or one of his talented wine-making children knows just how delicious a well made bottle of wine can be. The Wagners’ hard work, perseverance and flair for making wines with character and complexity have more than paid off. Their 1984 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet was chosen “Wine of the Year” by Wine Spectator. Six years later, lightning struck again as the 1990 vintage was also chosen “Wine of the Year,” the only time the award has ever been given twice to the same wine. The cherry on top came in 2007 when Wine Spectator honored Chuck with its Distinguished Service Award for significant and long-lasting contributions to the wine industry. And these are just a few of the awards Caymus and the Wagner family have won over the years. We are fortunate to have a man like Chuck who has been crushing it at the highest level of the wine industry for decades as our 2016 Special Guest of Honor.

HAPPENINGS AT THE HIGH
IRIS VAN HERPEN: TRANSFORMING FASHION
VIK MUNIZ Through May 29, 2016
Through May 15, 2016
The High is the first U.S. museum to present a major exhibition of work by visionary Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, a cuttingedge artist inspired by diverse influences in the arts, sciences, music and philosophy. Marking the High’s first presentation of fashion design, the exhibition features one-of-akind haute couture—internationally acclaimed for its combination of traditional craftsmanship and futuristic, innovative techniques. On view are 45 outfits, including some of the world’s first examples of 3D-printed fashion, which were carefully selected from 15 of van Herpen’s collections designed from 2008 through 2015.
This major retrospective of the work of celebrated contemporary photographer Vik Muniz examines the full breadth of this imaginative artist’s career and features nearly 120 photographs, including many of Muniz’s most recent works. Renowned for creating what he calls “photographic delusions,” Muniz works with a dizzying array of unconventional materials—including sugar, tomato sauce, diamonds, magazine clippings, chocolate syrup, dust and junk—to painstakingly design narrative subjects before recording them with his camera. His resulting photographs often quote iconic images from popular culture and the history of art while defying easy classification and playfully engaging a viewer’s process of perception.
BASQUIAT: THE UNKNOWN NOTEBOOKS
I SEE A STORY: THE ART OF ERIC CARLE
Through May 29, 2016
April 2, 2016 through Jan. 8, 2017
Featuring rare notebooks created by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988), this exhibition offers an intimate look at the life of the influential contemporary artist who died tragically at age 27. Filled with Basquiat’s handwritten texts and sketches, the 160 unbound notebook pages are presented along with 30 related paintings, drawings and mixed-media works drawn from private collections and the artist’s estate, as well as a Basquiat painting from the High’s collection. Created between 1980 and 1987, the notebooks demonstrate how Basquiat began to develop the artistic strategies that would inform his large-scale works.
Eric Carle (American, born 1929) is widely acclaimed as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for young children, including such familiar favorites as “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and “The Grouchy Ladybug.” The High is the sole venue for this retrospective, which will feature more than 80 collages from 15 of Carle’s most popular books that span his 50-year career, including many original works rarely on view. The exhibition will explore the artist’s varied subjects, personal interests, materials and artistic techniques and take visitors on an educational journey, celebrating the unique ways Carle’s books offer opportunities for children to learn.
