This historic residence’s lacquered reading room, crafted by interior designer Clary Bosbyshell Welsh, offers its owners a private retreat for work or respite. The photograph is by Erik Madigan Heck, through Jackson Fine Art.

The RETURN of the DOOR

Will 2021 be the demise of the open-concept ﬂoor plan? Atlanta designers and architects foresee a seismic shift in design, as months of multitasking our homes and ways of living takes its toll and homeowners seek more clearly deﬁned spaces. “Everyone has been on top of each other at home in 2020, and the result is that people want designated spaces, so rooms with doors are returning,” says architect Jack Davis. On the following pages, AH&L takes a look at concepts that contain noise, curb visual clutter and keep aromas at bay.

IN THE MOOD This energetic library multitasks as a tailored retreat for work, musical play and relaxing—for any member of the family. Designer ANGELA BROMENSCHENKEL decorated the masculine-leaning space with tufted seating and rich blue-gray walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s Witching Hour. Equally adept for entertaining small groups or for indulging in downtime, we predict this is the direction of the formal living room of the future.

WITH A VIEW A sophisticated but cozy library by interior designer LIZA BRYAN overlooks the rear courtyard and gives her clients a quiet, contemplative space. Existing bookshelves in the library were dressed up with molding and other detailing to match the distinction of the couple’s leather book collection. With no television in sight, it’s also the ideal outlet for escaping the 24/7 news cycle.

Equal parts charming and practical, doors in the dining room are a proven way to keep aromas from the kitchen at bay, not to mention the sounds of scampering feet, whether it’s dinner for four or a chic work-from-home station.

HALF FULL Perfect for keeping an eye on children and pets, the dutch door—in this example part of a casual entrance space accessed from a small sitting porch—has also been referred to as a “friendly” door. A dutch door is also the ideal solution for easing separation anxiety, in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Originally part of this home’s kitchen, this space speaks to the family’s desire to live more casually, say builder MICHAEL LADISIC and interior designer DANA WOLTER. We think it allows just the right amount of daylight and breezes.

COUNTER-SERVICE CAFES, OPEN-AIR gathering spaces and patio dining—these are the essential survival elements of shopping destinations today. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, outdoor shopping and dining destinations have uniquely positioned themselves to handle the shift toward priorities like social distancing. “Community is the future of retail,” says Mark Toro, managing partner at North American Properties, the developer behind AVALON. “It’s that human energy on the sidewalks and in the patio seating that is attracting people to outdoor retail destinations—not what the stores are selling.” The Alpharetta mixed-use complex, which typically hosts more than 200 events annually, sprang to action to launch adapted gatherings like drive-in concerts and pop-up outdoor markets.

GOOD WOOD. Lumber prices continue to climb. “It’s a big impact,” says Paces Builder Group’s Jim DeLany. “If you had a $50,000 lumber package in 2019, the same materials were $60,000 to $65,000 in 2020. That’s a big jump.” Prices peaked in summer of 2020, leveled out some and began climbing before the new year. Like any market driven by supply and demand, “No one knows how high it might go, and demand is way up,” says DeLany, who adds that most of his customers are choosing to absorb the increased lumber cost rather than wait for prices to dip.

CHAIN REACTION. Supply-chain disruptions have been a factor in every project interior designer Tish Mills Kirk has worked on for the last year. “It’s across the board,” Mills Kirk says. The first shutdowns impacted finishing, but after factories reopened, deficits in raw materials caused further delays. “The industry is really busy right now,” Mills Kirk says, adding that she’s planning on 50 percent more time on every order. “It builds in some cushion. My clients may be paying more in storage for furniture and such, but it’s better than not having [what we need].”

GRAYDON

GOING UP. “Condo sales were on the rise in Atlanta in 2020 compared to 2019,” explains Hil Harper, co-founder and vice president of Ansley Atlanta Real Estate. The trend shows no sign of slowing. He says the spike in condominium interest is attributable to renters capitalizing on historically low interest rates and downsizing homeowners buying second homes outside the city who still want an Atlanta pied-à-terre. To wit, Graydon, the new luxury high-rise in Buckhead for which Harper leads sales, is under construction and has already presold over 20 percent of homes more than a year before it’s set to open. GREAT ESCAPES. Atlantans rushed to purchase vacation homes in 2020, and Karyn Woody, a Harry Norman Realtors agent based in Blairsville, Georgia, expects the trend to continue. “The lakes and mountains offer a relaxing pace and the scenery is therapeutic,” Woody says, adding that inventory remains low. “With the ability to work from home, low interest rates and the urge to get back to what truly matters, I think Atlantans are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, even if it’s only part time.” MAKING A SPLASH. “When stuck at home for a time with not much to do, a swimming pool was just the thing that many people wished they had,” says Olivia Coker of Artistic Pools. From start to ﬁnish, their in-ground gunite pools take about six months to complete, though the required permitting—which varies by municipality—can add signiﬁcant time. “We have noticed a tremendous backlog in the permitting process because the demand for a swimming pool is so high,” Coker explains.

A fascination with the natural world keeps artist Heather Lancaster endlessly engaged Written by SUZANNA CULLEN HAMILTON IN A WORLD THAT’S OBSESSED with appearances, Atlanta artist Heather Lancaster is consumed with what’s underneath the façade. Looking beyond the obvious and exploring the natural world are integral to her character, and those qualities permit her to capture subtle nuances in her exceptional paintings. As the daughter of nationally renowned artist Helen Durant, it was inevitable that Lancaster would be sensitive to—and observant of—her surroundings. “I grew up watching Mom draw, and I loved the process of brain to hand; graphite to paper,” says Lancaster. Although she considered a career in medical illustration, Lancaster graduated from Mary Baldwin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Historic Preservation. Those passions have evolved to result in her finely detailed paintings of fauna and flora. At first, Lancaster began drawing for her three young children as a way to create memories and tell stories. Soon friends began requesting her work, so she expanded into small graphite drawings of baby animals and plants. “My hope was to create these quiet little drawings to encourage observation and nurture children’s connection with the natural world,” Lancaster explains. Today Lancaster works on a large scale layering graphite, charcoal and in India ink—an unforgiving medium that doesn’t permit changes or corrections. Preferring to work on one piece at a time, 24

she’s her harshest critic as she evaluates the degrees of completeness, value and balance of a piece. “I break the rules with my application of ink and water, but I’m very deliberate about the marks I make, and negative space is tantamount to the figure in every composition,” says Lancaster. Lancaster is devoted to the study and careful contemplation of her subjects. She thoroughly researches them and then creates small-scale studies—a process she considers fun and interesting. For her original series on ostriches, Lancaster was inspired by a visit to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “I love the Victorian weirdness and the odd elegance of these birds with their loose, flamboyant feathers that are completely juxtaposed with the stark musculature of their long legs,” says Lancaster. The majority of Lancaster’s work are commissions placed through galleries. “Art is the soul of the house, so it’s crucial for me to create each piece for each specific owner; each specific place.” While research, studies and proposals are part of the three-to-fourmonth process, the result is that every creation is intentional. “I’m deliberate. I love black and white. I value contrast and simplicity,” says Lancaster. This artist not only understands her creative language, Lancaster is equally genuine as a person—and that authenticity is evident in every painting.

ILLUSTRATION BY MEREDITH GILLESPIE

Naomi Von Habersham I DEBATED WHETHER OR NOT to mention the pandemic in print yet again, because if you’re anything like me, you’re sick of hearing and talking about it. But if one is writing about the way we live today, how can one not mention it? The last 12 months have certainly changed our lives and lifestyles, what with social distancing and quarantining, and I suspect that those changes may have a lingering effect on how we live moving forward. Take television viewing, for example. 2020 was the year when those who didn’t already have a Netflix account got one. To be honest, I just didn’t have the bandwidth to commit myself to hours of streaming during the pandemic, so instead I watched my favorite reruns of “Law & Order.” I’m definitely the odd man out, because everyone else remains addicted to the latest streaming series. Will that change anytime soon? I doubt it, but streaming’s popularity might wane a bit once we can safely do other things that require us to step away from our TVs and laptops. For many of us, those “other things” primarily mean travel and entertaining. Like many, I’m dying to take an international trip, but for me, that probably won’t happen until next year. In the meantime, my focus is on planning the many dinner and cocktail parties I hope to host before year’s end, and I suspect many of you are doing the same. After a year of pent-up desire for socializing, what will our soirees look like? Will we start out entertaining more lavishly than we did in pre-pandemic days and then settle back into a more casual routine once our giddiness has subsided? I’ve got so many questions about what life will be like post-pandemic. Although we may have to wait a bit longer to figure things out, there is one thing we do know for certain about the future: Just as it has been in the past, and particularly now in the present, there will never be any place like home.

ODE TO HOME

An homage to restaurateur Fares Kargar’s roots, Inman Park’s DELBAR transports guests to the Iranian countryside Written by LAUREN IVERSON

top to bottom Delbar owner Fares Kargar infused interiors with design elements inspired by his grandmother’s village in Iran, including plaster walls and Iranian art. Featuring walnuts, herbs, radishes and cheese, the Sabzi plate is commonly served with every meal in Persian culture to enjoy as a small bite or to add to main dishes. Delbar cooks meats like the Shishlik (lamb) kabob over charcoal for added ﬂavor.

ATLANTANS DON’T HAVE TO TRAVEL FAR for a worldly experience thanks to restaurateur Fares Kargar, who opened Middle Eastern hot spot, Delbar, in Inman Park last May. With dreamy interiors and a family-style menu rooted in tradition with a twist, Delbar is the Little Women of restaurants—masterfully intertwining separate stories of food, family, culture and home into one narrative that you simply can’t help but love. Inside and on the glass-enclosed patio, every detail tells a story. Art throughout the restaurant was imported from Iran, and at the bar, glassware with arched detailing resembles Iranian architecture. The logo depicting a woman’s face represents the female figures who taught Kargar how to cook, and Middle Eastern design elements—Moroccan tile, clay plaster walls, woven chairs, colorful carpets and popular pre-revolution Iranian films projected on the bathroom walls—remind Kargar of home. “I envisioned my grandmother’s village in Northern Iran, Dastjerd, and tried to re-create it in the form of a restaurant,” says Kargar. That’s not to say opening the concept came easy. Because of the pandemic, normally common ingredients like beef and lamb were hard to come by, but Kargar stayed determined. A soft opening offered to-go only options until dine-in service was able to be safely implemented. “I was so close to fulfilling my dream of owning my own restaurant that going back was not an option,” he says. As for the menu, Kargar created dishes inspired by family recipes, such as Akbar

DINNER FOR TWO

Joojeh (Persian-style Cornish hen) and stuffed trout, and introduced more traditional Middle Eastern dishes like lamb neck shawarma, an assortment of spreads (think hummus and labneh, a creamy strained yogurt concoction) and crispy rice selections. To infuse a layer of smokiness, dishes are cooked over charcoal, common in the Middle East but a technique not often seen in Atlanta’s commercial kitchens. And the experience is truly transportive. Its name translating to “heart captured,” guests are sure to feel as though they’ve discovered a new corner of the world upon finishing a meal at Delbar. “I want the restaurant to stand up to its name and steal people’s heart away,” says Kargar. “I want Delbar to represent a journey into the Middle East, and my childhood, without needing to take a flight. And beyond that, I want people to fall in love with Middle Eastern food and culture like I did.” delbaratl.com

“I want Delbar to represent a journey into the Middle East, and my childhood, without needing to take a ﬂight.” —Fares Kargar

Fine-dining doesn’t have to be limited to dine-in services, in fact, this Valentine’s day BACCHANALIA is offering a special mise en place menu for two that can be enjoyed from home. The four-course meal includes indulgent dishes like lobster bisque, thyme-cured tenderloin or steelhead trout, roasted vegetables, a baguette and rich chocolate hazelnut tartes.

KITCHEN AND BREAKFAST ROOM, JANIE WILBURN, THE JANE GROUP AND BELL CABINETRY & DESIGN Designer Janie Wilburn—who selected all of the interior specifications for the showhouse—approached her kitchen and breakfast room designs with special attention to light, shadow and sparkle. The inspiration for the blue cabinets by Bell Cabinetry & Design came from the swirls of blue and gray in Temmer’s Calacatta Lucina marble countertops and backsplash. The polished nickel strapping dresses the cabinets with elegance. A monolithic hood captures the curve of the barrel vault ceiling, making it feel impressive, important and appropriate to the scale of the kitchen. A few steps away in the breakfast room, the decision to round the walls, combined with Wilburn’s idea to wrap the drapery hardware around the room further softened the space. Wilburn layered creams, taupes and blues with light-reflective finishes, from the tablescape to the acrylic and glass chandelier. “Everything in that room is layered in the same shades and tones with different textures and saturations,” she says. “Nothing is abrupt; nothing is stark.” Sherwin-Williams’ Limewash in a high-gloss finish picks up the iridescent sheen on the octagonal tile design in the Cowtan & Tout grasscloth wallcovering. When the weather allows, the patio doors slide all the way open for a play on al fresco dining. —Lori Johnston 34

When the hand-painted wallcovering that designer Mallory Mathison Glenn commissioned for the formal dining room still hadn’t arrived two days before the show, she recruited her mother, Alabama artist Monteigne Ray Mathison, to paint a beautiful, painterly mural that captured a similar spirit. “This space feels like a cheerful winter garden with an English twist,” she says, noting it was designed for an imaginary “posh woman about town.” Indeed, an antique gilded crystal candelabra chandelier illuminates the wooden dining table and cane chairs, which have malachite-patterned emerald velvet seat cushions with gold ties and tassels. The jewel-toned fabric coordinates perfectly with the striped silk drapery and the twin table lamps’ silk shades, which have a gold scalloped edge. “Those details make it feel feminine and thoughtful,” the designer explains. The scalloped motif can also be found on the jute rug and the custom placemats—part of an eclectic tabletop design that features potted ferns, white ceramic ﬂowers and vintage porcelain geishas. And atop each plate, a rolled up “cracker” includes a party hat, a joke and confetti. “It immediately lightens the mood and puts everybody in a festive spirit,” she says. “This is a magical place for a lovely dinner party.” —Tate Gunnerson 37

LIVING ROOM, PATRICIA MCLEAN, PATRICIA MCLEAN INTERIORS, INC. Designer Patricia McLean took cues from the living room’s views of the deep wooded lot to create a cozy, classic space with her deft blend of French, Italian and English antiques. “It’s a woodsy wonderful life,” she says. Nature’s palette is unveiled in the green and blue tones in the fabrics, contemporary scenic painting by Doug Foltz and the lamps and accessories with Dutch, English and Continental influences. She started with blue linen draperies with Cowtan & Tout embroidered trim, and once she saw the 18th-century Belgium tapestry, her woodland-inspired design fell into place. McLean, a traditionalist, used the Aubusson tapestry as statement-making art on the great big wall opposite the French doors. The foliage, flora and fauna are woven in greens, golds, blues, creams and teals. “It was all about the natural elements surrounding the house,” says McLean. “All of the colors melded together so nicely for the setting.” The limestone top of the Kathy Slater cocktail table pairs nicely with the fireplace’s Francois & Co. limestone surround and rounded plaster ceiling. The natural fibers of the abaca rug contrast with the mohair upholstery and rich wool in the tapestry for a masterful balance of heavy and light. —Lori Johnston

inviting destination

STUDY, COURTNEY GILES DECKER, COURTNEY GILES INTERIORS

Painted in an enveloping deep blue-gray hue, the study’s classical wall paneling and built-in shelving create the perfect spot to kick off a cocktail party or retreat with an engaging page-turner. “I wanted it to seem a little more masculine, classic but with an updated edge,” Giles Decker says. An antique wooden chest in the corner, for example, pairs perfectly with a piece of contemporary artwork. And layered over a sisal rug, an antique patterned rug coexists easily with a tailored sofa and a pair of laid-back lounge chairs. Not to mention the large wavy gold mirror over the linear ﬁreplace mantel. “It makes a big statement,” she says, pointing to the way it reﬂects the sculptural brass chandelier in the center of the room. “It draws your eye up to it and makes what could have been a very serious room a little more fun.” The same could be said of the colorful accents, which include a weathered wooden red chair and blue-and-white Chinese porcelain. “It’s a subtle use of color, and I’m happy with the way it turned out,” Giles Decker says. “This room just feels so inviting.” —Tate Gunnerson 40

ENTRY HALLWAY AND POWDER ROOM, JUDY BENTLEY, INTERIOR VIEWS, INC.

A Pagoda-style lantern with gold butterfly ornaments makes a whimsical first impression in the entry foyer, which showhouse honorary chair Judy Bentley furnished with a traditional Oriental rug and a black and gold chinoiserie cabinet underneath a custom Queen Annestyle gilded mirror. “It’s a classic look but not so serious,” says Bentley. “I want people to smile.” That sense of fun—and a matching rug—flows into the adjacent corridor, where blue-and-white draperies with an 18th-century Chinese leopard toile print pop against the dark blue walls. “Blue and white is my forte,” explains Bentley. “It’s a classic combination that marries well with other colors.” The palette also graces the pint-size powder room, which sports a dynamic Brunschwig & Fils wallcovering with an exaggerated diamond motif that Bentley referenced on the vanity’s glass-paneled doors for a true wow factor. Adding to the intrigue, the designer did away with the typical mirror over the sink in favor of a black chinoiserie shelf arranged with decorative plates and flanked by brass sconces with black shades. “It’s not expected, which makes it more interesting,” she says. “People are surprised when they open the door.” —Tate Gunnerson

a place to call her own

SITTING AREA PHOTOGRAPHED BY DAVID CHRISTENSEN

UPSTAIRS HALL AND SITTING AREA, TRUDY STUMP, HEATHER PARKER AND WREN CAPLES, HUFF HARRINGTON DESIGN

The upstairs hall and lounge-like sitting area serve as a serene retreat for the active lady of the house, and much like her busy schedule, the spaces’ design is a balancing act, one where elegance meets edgy and old mixes with new. “We felt strongly that we wanted to create a 2020 kind of space that was restful and serene,” the designers note. “Somewhere the lady of the house could escape from virtual learning, working from home and other stresses that come with life this year.” To draw attention to the sitting area’s statuesque vaulted ceiling, Huff Harrington Design papered it in a Serena Dugan Studio wallpaper, whose warm tones and blue accents inspired the color palette down below. A contemporary oversize chaise sports cream-colored linen and navy bolsters, while a pair of terracotta-colored ottomans sit beneath a 1920s French wine bottle rack that now serves as a console. Traditional notes like a bleached Louis Philippe-style commode and an antique barometer bring texture and patina to the space, as do modern-minded pieces, such as the rattan and brass chandelier. Equally eye-catching is the large ﬁgurative painting by artist Gee Gee Collins. And, when work rather than rest beckons, a sleek 1960s acrylic and marble desk offers a place to get down to business. —Jennifer Boles

SOJOURNER’S SUITE, CATE DUNNING AND LATHEM GORDON, GORDONDUNNING INTERIOR DESIGN Conceived by design duo GordonDunning as a sanctuary for a well-traveled woman, this bedroom pays homage to both traditional roots and a sense of worldly adventure. “This room was designed with the wandering, sojourning sister in mind,” the duo says. “The explorer who loves to come home and is always welcomed.” A timeless blue-and-white color palette, feminine embroidered bedding and a pair of antique English bedside chests speak to the designers’ love of classic decor, while Indian-inspired fabrics allude to their wanderlust. Travel mementos are sprinkled throughout the space, most notably a suzani, which covers the bed’s throw pillow, and a photograph of a young Peruvian girl taken by designer Lathem Gordon during her own travels. The room’s showstopping decoration, however, may be the designers’ creative use of a wallpaper border, whose graphic pattern is evocative of blue-and-white Moroccan tile. Taken up the room’s corners and around the vivid blue vaulted ceiling, the border design gives the effect of sleeping in a tented room—or, perhaps closer to the traveler’s heart, an exotic Bedouin tent in the middle of a desert. —Jennifer Boles

Intended as both a romantic space and a place of refuge, the second guest bedroom exudes warmth and femininity. Leading off the room’s design with a floral-print Anna French fabric which she used for curtains, designer Valerie Garrett assembled a color palette that pulled from the fabric’s many hues, including placid shades of blue and gray and notes of cranberry. Shimmering accents lend an ethereal feel, including an antiqued bombé chest and Circa Lighting’s Iberia chandelier, whose crystal drops resemble glistening icicles. For those seeking a blissful night’s sleep, the highlight of the room is Century Furniture’s Jacques bed, whose clean-lined frame and brass accents are softened by layers of cozy bed linens. The room’s finishing touches include art pieces chosen by the designer to bring soul to the space, such as framed butterfly prints and an encaustic work depicting a woman by artist Penny Treese. “The room has such a soft palette and that, in turn, gives it a calming sense,” says Garrett. “I feel like I’m taking a big, deep breath whenever I step inside.” —Jennifer Boles

coastal connection

MASTER BEDROOM AND HALL, LAUREN DAVENPORT IMBER, DAVENPORT DESIGNS

Inspired by the natural daylight ﬂooding into the spacious master bedroom suite, designer Lauren Davenport Imber collaborated with Serena & Lily to create a decidedly coastal vibe reminiscent of one of her favorite getaways. “Because of the COVID-19 travel restrictions, I wanted to bring a little bit of Nantucket to Atlanta, but with my own twist,” she explains. A neutral wallcovering depicting palm fronds surrounds the painted builtin coffee bar in the entryway. And the bedroom walls are covered in a complementary woven grasscloth—a serene backdrop for a canopy bed ﬂanked by linear raffia-wrapped console tables staged with books and treasured objects. “I imagine this couple collects and travels, and they have an appreciation for history,” she explains, pointing to the antique Welsh dresser, which is staged with beautiful old books and French and English Wedgwood plates. Art also plays an important role, for instance, the large graffiti by Andrea Costa, which is suspended from the window frame over a traditional wooden console table. “It keeps your eye inside the room while letting the light in,” she says, noting she wanted something young and fresh. “Nantucket is all about history and incorporating the old with the new.” —Tate Gunnerson 50

MASTER BATH AND CLOSET, JASON MITCHELL, J ANSEL DESIGNS

In the light-filled bathroom, floating vanities in blond-washed wood by Bell Cabinetry & Design, hand-formed subway tile, Venetian plaster on the barrel vault ceiling and gray-and-white Temmer marble countertops lend an old-world vibe that served as the foundation for designer Jason Mitchell’s curated and collected style. “I’m a lover of all things conversational in a space,” he says. That remains especially true for the antiqued Belgian bluestone floors in a herringbone pattern that extend to a climactic arch. Transitional and timeless pieces, such as the teak chair at the freestanding tub and oversize lamps from Circa Lighting (instead of sconces), can float from room to room when entertaining. In the closet, organic shapes seen in the lamp, faces prominent in the artwork and vintage accessories soften the hard edges to achieve unisex design with multigenerational appeal. His use of Romo’s cork wallpaper in the bathroom and a silk wallcovering by Innovations in the closet, along with exquisite detailing, such as a fringed ottoman and fur on a vintage three-legged chair, further establishes the fine line between masculinity and femininity with approachable luxury. —Lori Johnston 53

NURSERY, ANNA-LOUISE WOLFE, ANNA-LOUISE WOLFE, LTD. Nurseries are created for babies but best designed for parents, says AnnaLouise Wolfe, who created a soothing second floor “crib” with masculine and feminine elements to make it suitable for children of any gender. A floral vine wallcovering with blues and greens establishes the palette, which is punctuated by white furnishings such as a Jenny Lind-style crib and a white rattan cabinet with a pagoda shape. “There’s a subtle Asian thread that ties the whole space together,” says Wolfe. In case mom or dad wants company, Wolfe incorporated a pair of plush matching lounge chairs atop an antique rug with a floral pattern. It’s layered over a larger sisal rug, which coordinates with rustic baskets. “They add texture and a bit of masculinity,” she says. But just a touch. Accents such as an antique brass chandelier, blue-and-white Chinese porcelain table lamps with gathered pleated shades and vintage Venetian white shellback grotto chairs with blue velvet cushions reinforce that this is mom and dad’s domain. “I wanted it to feel light and happy,” Wolfe explains. “Anybody would be happy to sit there with their baby.” —Tate Gunnerson 54

get cozy

HYGGE LOUNGE, MICHAEL HABACHY, HABACHY DESIGNS + ATELIER Pronounced hoo-gah, the Danish concept of hygge has no exact English translation, but in essence, it refers to that cozy, contented feeling one gets in a warm house on a chilly winter’s day. A longtime admirer and purveyor of Scandinavian furnishings through his ADAC showroom, Michael Habachy channeled that concept in his design for the upstairs apartment—an enveloping space with dark gray walls, curvaceous furnishings and tons of texture. “We wanted to make an impact,” says Habachy. Windows on three sides flood the space with natural daylight. When the sun sets, a chandelier with semi-translucent porcelain shades, along with strategically placed lamps, softly illuminates the space. Designed for comfort as well as style, the room’s furnishings include a sleek, serpentine sofa covered in wool bouclé, a pair of barrel-back, velvet-covered chairs and leather poufs around a pair of handcrafted wooden cocktail tables. On the far side of the room, an iconic shearling-covered chair lives alongside a black metal mid-century modern fireplace, its convincing flame actually water vapor illuminated by LED lighting. In regard to the furniture’s interesting shapes, Habachy says, “Curves tend to draw you in and make you feel at home, and that helped make this space super casual, relaxed and cozy.” —Tate Gunnerson 57

SCULLERY, MUDROOM, BAR AND DOG WASH, COURTNEY SHEARER, THE DESIGNERY AND BELL CABINETRY & DESIGN Courtney Shearer mingles functionality and accessible style in her quartet of workhorse spaces. To keep messes at bay, pocket doors allow the scullery to be closed off when entertaining. Another shining star: an innovative pull-down faucet from Renaissance Tile & Bath inspired by the shape of a ship wheel. For her organized oasis, Shearer designed an island on wheels that she envisioned the homeowner using to plan meals and arrange ﬂowers. Shearer’s signature is to integrate unexpected elements, which she did in partnership with Bell Cabinetry & Design for her debut showhouse with her own ﬁrm. For example, a drawer in the island stashes recipe cards and the mudroom cabinetry—where the cabinets, ceiling and trim paint are enveloped in a “sea of green” accompanied by a woven wallpaper in muted tones—features a pullout for umbrellas. Across the way, a dog wash for pets is equipped with jets to give the family pooch a 5-star experience. As for the adults, the bar features handsome wood and brass details and decorative iron doors that enclose a wine room. “It’s the perfect spot to mix a drink or select just the right bottle of wine for the evening’s event,” says Shearer. —Lori Johnston 58

Designed for year-round use, the covered porch was envisioned as a spot where style and comfort transcend seasons. “I wanted the porch to be comfortable, inviting and something a family could enjoy morning, noon and night,” says designer Sande Beck. She implemented a classic blackand-white palette to give the space a crisp, timeless appearance while not distracting from its lush environment. Iron lounge chairs offer guests ample seating, as does a comfy upholstered bench that may have the best seat in the space: in front of the cozy brick ﬁreplace. Tying the seating together in lively fashion, a chinoiserie-print fabric covers the bench and is repeated on nearby pillows and bolsters. Although furnished with mostly outdoor pieces, the porch also boasts decorative accents typically found indoors, a design twist made possible by the generous vaulted roof that offers protection from the elements. A mirror is placed prominently above the ﬁreplace mantle as is a framed mixed-media and paper piece from Huff Harrington Home, but perhaps most unexpected of all is a snappy zebra hide rug, which gives new meaning to outdoor living. —Jennifer Boles 60

dramatic effect

STAIR HALL, UPPER LANDING AND LAUNDRY, KIT CASTALDO, KIT CASTALDO DESIGN Although spanning three ﬂoors, the stair hall, upper landing and laundry room are visually connected by their crisp, bright appearance—one which reminds designer Kit Castaldo of a sunny day in the snow. To amplify the generous sunlight that streams in, Castaldo chose contrasting black accents, particularly a set of custom framed intaglios by Frank Thomas and a textured Baker chest through Townhouse by Robert Brown, to punctuate the landing and set the tone for the nearby laundry room. Because the laundry room has no windows, Castaldo chose elements that would bounce light to make the space feel larger, such as a shimmering white wallcovering and a graphic light ﬁxture that reminds Castaldo of icicles. “The laundry room had no upper cabinets, no windows and the ceiling has a ton of angles, so we opted to not draw attention to those lines and add a ton of texture and light into the room,” she says. Instilling drama in areas typically overlooked in some homes, this bold design statement was echoed in the vestibule off of the laundry room, where walls were painted in a daring shade of black that lends decadence to the chore of doing laundry. —Jennifer Boles 62

HARRISON DESIGN, KBD DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION AND FLORALIS GARDEN DESIGN Harrison Design, KBD Development & Construction and The Jane Group demonstrated resilience amid the pandemic and hurricanes to complete this 6,500-square-foot new Atlanta residence designed for gracious, comfortable living. At first look, a dramatic arched entryway of cast stone from Hartstone and Texas limestone is “the strength of the house,” says architect Rick Hatch of Harrison Design. Inside, a floating rear stairwell floods the house with light all the way to the 2,400-square-foot terrace level. Dynamic barrel vault ceilings with Venetian plaster tie together the living room and kitchen. The pleasant curves seen on the traditional shingle-style exterior presented an opportunity for connectivity. Two sets of stunning steel doors, one that leads to the study and another to the wine vault in the butler’s pantry, are designed with a diamond ellipse that echoes the flares of the exterior. The same motif is seen in the dining room ceiling, the chimney breast of the living room fireplace and the kitchen hood, creating a sense of familiarity. Pocket sliding doors make the wall between the breakfast room and covered porch disappear, presenting another “great moment” in the house, says builder Chris Davis of KBD Development. A series of arches in the expansive second floor hallway delineate the bedrooms in a thoughtful manner. A creamy white exterior mixes materials, including brick and wood cedar shake, to establish its presence in a new cul-de-sac in the Ivy Ridge enclave. Custom stepping stones by Hartstone pull the arch’s “grand gesture” into the landscape and wrap around a Trust Stone container, says Lucinda Bray of Floralis Garden Design, who was assisted by Maxwell Gardens on the installation. The rear takes on a horseshoe shape with a pea gravel terrace separating the covered porch and master wing with wooded views. —Lori Johnston 65

IN LOVE WITH...

Artichoke

is at once both rich and romantic, cozy and calming. Enveloping a space in the nebulous shade creates a mysterious, cocoonlike effect. A dash of it added here and there imbues a room with an organic touch. However you incorporate the color, you’ll ﬁnd its subtlety as complex and nuanced as the many layers of its namesake plant. –Clinton Smith
