WELCOME Me, against a backdrop of “Beaton Rose” silk fabric, which was designed in 1948 by Sir Cecil Beaton. Available to the trade though Paul+Raulet at the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center.

The color blue is lovely enough. But blue and white together—ahh, those two are a pair as entwined as cake and ice cream, Champagne and caviar, even Bogart and Bacall. Some things should never be separated. Blue and white are more than just colors that look good together. That’s a given. Whether it’s from vacation memories of sand and surf colliding or holding an ever-so-fragile piece of antique Chinese export porcelain, blue-and-white has an emotional pull as much as it has a visual one. My connection to the color duo comes from childhood. I grew up surrounded by blue-and-white plates in every size. A collection of more than 30 once hung above our living room sofa; now, my mother has those pieces—and more—hanging against a backdrop of sunshine-yellow walls in her kitchen. Her passion for blue-and-white can also be found spilling out of coat closets and cupboards. With this issue, I hope you find your own connection. Happy colors? Indeed, they are.

ally surrounded by blueand-white; my grandmother must have some 1,000 pieces in her exhaustive, lifelong collection. Her wedding china, Mottahedeh’s “Blue Canton,” is a reproduction of a Chinese import that once graced the tables of the finest colonial homes, and a framed copy of the story behind the fabled “Blue Willow” pattern is one of her most treasured possessions. She’s also a big collector of Spode, which I find very charming. So naturally, my affinity for blue-andwhite is as deeply rooted as my education in it.

STYLE ( blue & white) BLUE & WHITE FOREVER PHOEBE HOWARD IS THE QUEEN OF BLUE-AND-WHITE. HAVING DECORATED MORE THAN 100 ROOMS IN THE FAVORITE COLOR COMBINATION, SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. HERE ARE 25 OF HER TIPS AND GENERAL WORDS OF WISDOM.
For a snappy looking outdoor table, use blue-and-white Canton china with pink peonies and a pink tablecloth. FOR A TAILORED LOOK, USE CONTRASTING NAVY WELT AND BANDING ON A CAMEL SOFA.
Blue and white combines well with bright colors such as chrome yellow, hot pink or tomato red.
When you limit the palette to a few shades of blue, you can combine patterns more easily.
Pale blue linen curtains frame windows beautifully and bring the color A PORCH WITH DARK WICKER FURNITURE, BLUE-ANDof the sky WHITE STRIPED CUSHIONS AND A LIGHT BLUE CEILING indoors. WILL ALWAYS BE A SOUTHERN CLASSIC.
Tabletop choices are plentiful and varied in this color palette, from traditional to contemporary.
If you have blue eyes, paint your bedroom walls robin’s egg blue. It’s flattering and you will look better in the mornings!
TRY TO IMAGINE A FOURTH OF JULY WITHOUT RED, WHITE AND BLUE! Glossy navy blue walls and crisp white upholstery, paired with black-andwhite photography, are a winning combination.
For a fresh combination in a beach house, mix Cobalt blue and turquoise; it’s like sea glass. 14
ATLANTAHOM ES MAG.COM
Deep blue-and-white striped awnings can add pizzazz to an otherwise ordinary house.
Decorating in shades of pale blue and sand instills a sense of calm and tranquility, like the beach.
PICTURE THE GREEK ISLES, THE COLOR OF THE ADRIATIC SEA AND THE PURE WHITE HOUSES. WHAT COULD BE PRETTIER THAN THAT?
Lacquer library walls and bookcases in Prussian blue to create an inviting and exciting space.
Wrap a package in blue-and-white striped paper, then finish with a blue grosgrain bow and a daisy tucked in. Paint your dining room a deep boxwood green, then hang blue-and-white transferware on the walls—beautiful.
Inexpensive enamel spatterware is fun to use for an outdoor party, with a burlap tablecloth and wildflowers. GRAY-BLUE IS THE PERFECT COLOR FOR A NURSERY WHEN YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE GENDER; GO WITH GRAY-BLUE WALLS AND WHITE BEDDING.
FILL THREE BLUE-AND-WHITE CACHEPOTS WITH MINIATURE ORANGE TREES FOR A GREAT DINING ROOM CENTERPIECE.
Blue and white bedding is perfect for a boy’s room with red walls and framed antique American flags. Visually, blue is a safe color for most men; there’s a certain comfort level.
Blue-and-white is ancient and modern at the same time, truly timeless. YOU CAN FIND CHIC BLUE-AND-WHITE TABLETOP, VASES AND POTS, OR FABRICS AT EVERY PRICE POINT.

+ “My favorite blue paint color is Blue Nile by Sherwin-Williams. I’m a water sign and am always drawn to it. The color embodies soothing and intense qualities just like the ocean. It’s perfect—not too blue and not too green.”~Christy Dillard, Dillard Design
+ “For the past few seasons, I've presented a ton of light, airy, silvery blues that all look fantastic. But lately I’ve been drawn to deeper, richer blues—colors with a bit of a history. My current favorite is Benjamin Moore’s Bella Blue. It’s a dusky peacock blue with a touch of gray that can work in a modern space with crisp white trim and black accents, or can add a dash of unexpected exotic color in a classic setting above a Persian rug or dark wood furniture. I recently used it in my own powder room in a satin finish and everyone that sees it wants it in their home.”

+ “Typically, blue is not my go-to
wall color, but I love Benjamin Moore’s Wedgewood Gray with its sophisticated gray undertones. I’ve used it in dining rooms with creamy white wainscoting, and most recently used it to bring life to an old wood floor in a mountain house master bath. Its versatility lends it to so many applications and surfaces; it goes classic when done in a soft, flat finish to fresh and modern when given a dollop of sheen.” ~Linda Beth

+ “One of my favorite blue paints is Benjamin Moore’s Mysterious from the Affinity Collection. It’s such a wonderfully deep and rich blue shade. I love to paint an entire room—ceiling, walls, trim and doors—one color. With a small space, painting an entire room a darker color camouflages the scale. It’s a knockout effect!” ~Jimmy Stanton, Stanton Home Furnishings
+ “I love every shade of blue! But
I’m currently obsessed with Farrow & Ball’s Blue Ground. It’s more of a clean turquoise blue and I enjoy pairing it with other crisp colors, including white and black. The color also changes with the time of day and amount of light, a plus as you get to enjoy it from a different perspective each time you walk into the room. This particular color reminds me of the seemingly opaque blue water of Chalk Sound in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.”~Barbara Heath, The Mercantile
+ “A blue that we recently used is Martha Stewart’s Wrought Iron. It’s a pretty deep blue with a little bit of gray that makes it feel very modern. It looks crisp with cream and whites against it, but also looks classic with black or gray in the mix. I thought it was a nice alternative to a deep neutral color. Colors like red or yellow definitely pop next to this deep ocean blue.” ~Barbara Westbrook, Westbrook Interiors
+ One of my favorite blue colors
is Benjamin Moore’s Hudson Bay. It’s a strong blue that has a lot of depth and easily coordinates with many other colors when used in small doses.” ~Kerry Howard, KMH Interiors
17
STYLE ( blue & white)
+ “Go dark! My current
favorite is Liberty Blue by Benjamin Moore. It’s so deep and rich, it’s almost black. I first fell in love with this color after seeing Giorgio Armani’s Spring 2011 collection titled ‘La Femme Bleue.’ The line was inspired by the traditional indigo robes of the nomadic Tuareg people of Saharan North Africa. I just lacquered a pair of chests with this color and plan to use it in a high-gloss finish on foyer walls to create a mysterious and chic entry.” ~Bill Musso, Musso Design Group

Naomi von Habersham AROUND TOWN WITH
ILLUSTRATION BY ABBI WILLIAMS
Steeplechase takes place this month, and the horses aren’t the only ones competing. There’s the event’s famous hat contest (for humans, not horses!) I’ve tried to win the damn thing for ages, so this year I’m going for broke. I’ll be channeling Lady Gaga thanks to my brand new Philip Treacy hat. If you need to find me at Steeplechase, I’ll be the one whose head is shrouded in tulle and feathers. Gone are the days when old Naomi would trot around St. Tropez wearing nothing but an Erès bikini and Bain de Soleil. Good times and gravity may have taken their toll, but thank goodness for my Yves Saint Laurent leopard-print caftan that I just bought at Neiman’s. I plan to wear it at my old stomping ground Le Club 55 next month, but in the meantime, you just might see me donning it down at the Peachtree Battle Publix. If you’ve got to do something as dreary as schlepping toilet paper, you might as well look fabulous doing it! Oh, how I love to snoop in other people’s houses. In fact, I narrowly avoided making Page Six headlines a few years ago after getting caught peeking into a certain someone’s medicine cabinet during a fundraiser. Fortunately at this month’s Decorators’ Show House & Gardens, snooping around is encouraged. I can’t wait to see what Atlanta’s talented designers have up their sleeves. Seeing that this month’s issue is about blue and white, I just have to weigh in. I have my own collection of blue-andwhite ceramics. The good stuff came from an estate sale on Blackland back in 1988 or ’89, but a few pieces came from Richard’s Variety Store, my go-to place for affordable ceramics and naughty birthday cards. I’ve been drawn to this color combo ever since my Great Aunt Lela used to serve me banana pudding on her best Blue Willow china. Thirty years (and two ill-fated marriages) later, I was a guest on Valentino’s yacht, the T.M. Blue One, an appropriate name as everything on board—table linens, china, even upholstery— was blue-and-white. Well, if blue-and-white is good enough for Valentino, it’s good enough for me!

Owen Southwell How could an architect so well recognized by his peers and celebrated by the architectural press be so easily forgotten here? During the 12 years he spent in Atlanta (1919-1931), architect Owen James Trainer Southwell was at the top of his profession. While his reputation today is limited to his native Louisiana and Beaumont, Texas—where he designed his most impressive commission, the Phelan Mansion—the significance of Southwell’s work in Atlanta suggests that he was an architect of importance, and the caliber of his clients proves that his services were in demand. Southwell was born on September 20, 1892, in New Iberia, Louisiana, where his parents’ families were involved in building and architectural businesses. His father, William B. Southwell, studied architecture in New York (1885-1888), after which he returned to New Iberia to practice. In 1901, the Southwell family moved to Pine Island Bayou, Texas, just north of Beaumont, where William helped develop a brick and tile plant that took advantage of the Spindletop oil boom. William’s education and occupation gave his son a distinct advantage, as there were few formally trained architects in America at that time, especially in the South. Owen Southwell won a scholarship to study architecture at Tulane University. After two years at Tulane, he transferred to the architecture program at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, headed by nationally recognized architect Henry Hornbostel, and graduated with a BA in architecture. Following a teaching appointment and a brief service in the Naval Reserve, Southwell joined the practice of his former teacher. Southwell worked briefly in Pittsburgh and then transferred to Atlanta to manage Hornbostel’s thriving Southern office. During that time (1919-1922), he helped design and supervise the initial buildings at Emory University and Continued on page 55 24

left to right Sardis Methodist Church was one of Owen Southwell’s earliest ecclesiastical designs and has recently been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The houses along St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans could have been the inspiration for Southwell’s design for this Druid Hills home. The interiors of the DeGolian residence illustrate Southwell’s use of both historical and creative design elements. The living room mantel refers to a specific historical precedent, while the stair balustrade and other iron details throughout the house and on the front porch showcase not only the architect’s creativity but also the DeGolian family craftsmanship. His client, Felix DeGolian, owned the Golian Steel & Iron Company.

A CLASSICALLY INSPIRED DULUTH HOME CAPTURES THE SPIRIT AND PASSION OF ITS GRACIOUS OWNER
inBlue WRITTEN BY SEJAL BHIMA
PHOTOGRAPHED BY MALI AZIMA PRODUCED BY CLINTON SMITH
The formal living room of designer Beth Elsey’s Duluth home is a polished showcase of splendor. Its furnishings—including the Dessin Fournir sofa, John Boone cocktail table and Holland & Company chests—were purchased by Elsey over the years. “I think things should be collected over time,” she shares. “It’s better to wait and buy something of good quality with the intention of keeping it than to think everything is disposable.”
Beth Elsey’s Georgian-style home is a vision of class, elegance and a bit of Southern flair—just like the homeowner herself. It would be hard to guess that this beautifully appointed residence was decorated solely by this one-time nurse, who spent more than 20 years working with needles and stethoscopes. But Elsey’s childhood gives a glimpse into her underlying passion. “I was fortunate to grow up in a family that loved and appreciated art and architecture,” she recalls. “I loved visiting my Grandma’s art studio because there were always different works in progress—oil paintings in one corner and pottery waiting to be fired in another.” But it was warm summer days spent on the sandy beaches of Dog Island, a tiny landmass in the Gulf of Mexico, which truly planted a love of art in Elsey and her cousins. “We’d stay for four weeks at the beach house and take sketch pads, charcoals and watercolors. We worked on a different project each year; one year we’d do collages, the next needlework,” she shares. “My grandmother encouraged us to do anything in the realm of art, and all of her grandchildren now have some type of artistic ability.” Elsey’s artistic passion fell into interiors. She left a nursing career in 1997 to open an interiors shop in south Georgia with a friend, the store’s luxe and varied inventory of home furnishings, china and crystal giving Elsey an outlet to share her tailored and graceful style. But her husband’s eventual job transfer meant leaving the successful venture behind, and refocusing her creative energy on a new home in Duluth. She drew inspiration from her idyllic childhood summers. “I love the colors of the beach, especially all spectrums of blue, from the water to the sky,” Elsey says. “I also love the whites of the shells, and the neutrals of sand and driftwood. All of those influences dictated the direction.” The home’s icy blue walls, however, started as light yellow. “Over the past nine years, this home has truly been a work in
Homeowner Beth Elsey, with her Labrador Emma, relaxes in the formal living room. The stylish table setting in the dining room features glass hurricanes and crystal stemware by William Yeoward. “Greenleaf” china by Anna Weatherly, one of the many patterns Elsey has collected over the years, is set upon custom linens, their monograms matching those of each slipcover. A display niche featuring Chinese porcelain plates from Jane Marsden Antiques is further evidence of Elsey’s passion for delicate tableware. opposite A custom hand-painted screen by Raymond Goins.

The dining room sparkles in its well-edited details, with pleated slipcovers adding a charming touch around the traditional mahogany table. Meanwhile, a Trumeau mirror, set against striĂŠ walls, brilliantly shines in the light of the crystal Niermann Weeks chandelier. Framed intaglios and silk draperies further enhance the elegant look.

David Iatesta chairs, described by Elsey as “deceivingly comfortable,” give life to her beach inspiration. Adding to the effect is a Vaughn lantern and three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light and bring the outdoors in. Chairs and fixture available through Ainsworth-Noah & Associates. opposite Comfortable seating in the keeping room gives Elsey, her husband and their three Labradors plenty of space to relax while two built-in bookcases—filled with pottery, pieces of coral, and architecture and design books—artfully display Elsey’s passions. Above the fireplace, a contemporary oil painting by Maureen Chatfield, represented locally at Anne Irwin Fine Art, conceals a flat-screen television. During warmer months, French doors leading out to the patio are kept open, extending the entire living area.
Elsey commissioned white painted cabinetry by Bell Custom Cabinetry for the kitchen. A pale blue ceiling and mahogany island add contrast and warmth. Natural light ďŹ nds its way into the space through the classic radius-top window. Range and hood, Viking.

progress,” she explains. “I think you have to live in a space for a while so you can see how it looks during different times of the day and during different seasons.” But once the walls were transformed, Elsey’s vision began to take shape. Sofas, chairs and other furnishings were soon reupholstered to match the fresh color scheme. Elsey also introduced new items, such as the custom blueand-white screen painted by Raymond Goins in the formal living room—the Chinoiserie-style panels a nod to the owner’s love of nature. In fact, several rooms boast views of the plantings she personally tends to, including potted Meyer lemon trees on the back patio that are visible from the screened-in porch. “I’m assuming most Southerners have a similar experience, but I can never remember my mother buying flowers. We used whatever was growing in the garden,” she shares. The home’s classical style is also a testament to Elsey’s love of symmetry; mirror-image seating arrangements and paired accessories give each room a balanced and calming ambience. And although Elsey refers to her style as elegant and ordered, she quickly adds, “it’s important to keep your sense of humor about your home. It doesn’t need to be so perfect that you’ll break down if something is broken.” Her three beautiful Labradors, Emma, Sophie and Olive, are allowed everywhere and have inevitably left their mark. “Yes, they chew on the furniture, but it gives it character,” she laughs. Essentially, it’s a reflection of Elsey’s gentle demeanor and that, after all, is what a home should mirror—the owners themselves. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK. Near a Belgian limestone table, a quartet of framed oakleaf and mophead hydrangea prints lend outdoorsy ambience to the screened-in porch. opposite A vaulted ceiling helps create an airy feel, while floor-to-ceiling screens blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Another highlight of this spacious room is the pair of American boxwoods in custom planters. “It’s very peaceful to sit out here with my dogs, although there’s been some collateral damage with them punching through the screens when they were puppies,” Elsey jokes.

The perfectly tailored master bedroom is Elsey’s favorite space. Luxurious fabrics are in abundance here, from the silk velvet headboard to the Sferra shams, the silk-and-cotton draperies to the monogrammed bedding from Leontine Linens.
NATURAL FOR THE DESIGN OF A STONECLAD POOL HOUSE, ATLANTA DECORATOR PHOEBE HOWARD CREATES A SPACE THAT’S AS FUNCTIONAL AS IT IS BEAUTIFUL WRITTEN BY CLINTON SMITH PHOTOGRAPHED BY ERICA GEORGE DINES PRODUCED BY REBECCA SOWELL HAWKINS
For the outdoor living spaces of this English-style pool pavilion designed by the architectural firm Henry Sprott Long and Associates, decorator Phoebe Howard chose elegant Kingsley-Bate chaise longues and ceramic garden seats. “I love mixing teak and porcelain,” says Howard. “It brings an ‘indoor’ look outside.” Landscape design by Kelly Hulsey.
Pebble stone floors in the heavily used kitchen are extremely durable, and they’re also comfortable against bare feet. Cabinet doors and drawers feature slate-gray painted panels and insets. Towels are neatly folded behind glass doors of a painted cabinet from Mrs. Howard; pool toys, goggles, flip-flops and games are stowed underneath. opposite In the great room, a bird motif on F. Schumacher’s “Chenonceau” fabric alludes to the forest beyond without distracting from the view. A Hickory Chair sofa is upholstered in outdoor fabric by Nobilis. The wicker chair and two Baker occasional chairs don Pierre Frey acrylic outdoor fabrics, which are available through Travis & Company. Driftwood lamps, bird prints and all other accessories available through Mrs. Howard. The room is anchored by a hemp rug with a diamond pattern, which lays atop slate floors.
If it weren’t for the swimming pool out front, one might think this stone-clad structure—set against a backdrop of rolling hills—was a quaint cottage nestled somewhere deep in the English countryside. And inside, with furnishings as luxe as one would find in any formal living room (without the pretense), you might think you are in a good friend’s den. But the structure is, in reality, a pool house. Created by architectural firm Henry Sprott Long and Associates and decorator Phoebe Howard, the new space has a sense of permanence, even though it’s only a few years old. While the pool house’s great room is casually elegant, it goes well beyond being functional, too. “If something is not pretty and not practical, it won’t make the cut,” says Howard of her designs. “An object has to be beautiful but it has to work for what it’s intended.” Here, cases in point include a hemp diamond-pattern rug that can stand up to the abuses of indoor/outdoor living, plus comfortable upholstery covered in weather-friendly acrylic outdoor fabrics by Pierre Frey.
“I wanted to connect the room’s design to the feeling of the woodlands that surround it—not in a mountain style, but in a way to pay homage to the nearby streams and trees,” Howard explains. A slate gray-and-white fabric with a bird motif by F. Schumacher frames a grand window and the view beyond. Bird prints, driftwood lamps, wicker and rustic antiques offer subtle reminders of the surroundings, as well. The great room is flanked by two simply stylish spaces—a kitchen and bath that the decorator designed with her stepson, Andrew Howard. White kitchen cabinets feature doors with inset panels painted slate-gray, while an antique sideboard was converted to a vanity in the bath. Pebble floors, a Howard favorite, anchor both spaces. “I didn’t want to distract from the architecture or the setting, so the pool house didn’t need to be over-decorated,” says Howard. “I wanted the clients and their guests to be able to sit anywhere they wanted while wearing a wet bathing suit.” 45
In the bath, sumptuous monogrammed towels by Matouk feature blue banding. Towels available through Gramercy Home. The garden includes a combination of formal and informal spaces, as well as a fountain and a fire pit. An Orkney Island chair adds an air of relaxed formality. Its classical shape is softened by its rope-like rush seat and back. opposite The pool house was designed to be used year-round. During spring and summer, the lush greenery and blooms add even more dimension to the outdoor spaces.

GEORGIA QUAIL IS A PERFECT PAIRING FOR A BLACKBERRYSTREWN SALAD. BOTH QUAIL AND BLACKBERRIES THRIVE IN THE GEORGIA HEAT.

T
This month—along fencerows and highways, vacant lots and backyards—miles of brambles are bearing small, wild rose-like flowers and green clusters of not-yet-ripe blackberries. While the fruit won’t be ready for a month or so, now is the time to buy jars and lids, to collect pails and buckets, to obtain some gloves—really long, thick gloves. Picking blackberries is an adventure and one should be prepared to swat at bees, scale chain-link fences or navigate through barbed wire. Blackberries grow prolifically in temperate parts of the United States; they seem to like the poor soil conditions and thrive under the hot Southern sun, soaking it up and making the fruit special—sweet with a hint of sour, and undeniably wild. But a wild food source is much more than a free product. Food that’s foraged carries with it the taste of its specific soil, and personally gathering it somehow imparts flavor. Compared to cultivated produce, the fruit might not look as appealing, but there are flavor profiles and a “mouth-feel” in wild fruit that is lost
Ingredients for a blackberry cordial recipe are mise en place, awaiting preparation. Satterfield has been experimenting with a newly developed idea for a blackberry, goat cheese and leek tart.

in breeding and cultivation. Steven Satterfield, the chef/co-owner of Miller Union, devotes himself to pursuing flavor. Chef Satterfield doesn’t just toss ingredients into a dish; he knows that when working with seasonal ingredients from multiple sources, whether wild or farmed, the flavors will vary. So he tastes and adjusts, then repeats. Committed to changing his menu often, Satterfield pours over books and reaches into his own past to coax flavors out of ingredients and onto the plate. The resulting dishes are at once traditional and modern, and definitively Southern. A native of Savannah, Satterfield moved to Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech, where he studied architecture. But at the same time, the talented musician and songwriter was nurturing a budding music career. He supported himself by working at a couple of humble-but-good restaurants before landing a job in the kitchen of Decatur’s Watershed Restaurant, where he had the opportunity to cook with treasured Southern chef Scott Peacock. What’s more, Edna Lewis—the Grand Dame of Southern Cooking and Chef Peacock’s mentor—was still living at the time, and occasional visits with her greatly impacted Satterfield, resulting in some true kitchen wisdom. After working as a cook for nearly a decade and eventually being named executive sous chef at Watershed, Satterfield left to open Miller Union with co-owner Neal McCarthy in the vibrant Westside neighborhood. Last summer, Satterfield conducted an exploration of blackberries, both wild and cultivated, coming up with recipes that celebrate the fruit while highlighting the berry’s little pops of flavor. Some traditional uses resulted, such as a dessert topping, and the placement of the fruit alongside quail married two wild Georgia flavors, allowing them to play together in a natural way. Chef Satterfield also tossed the berries onto a tart with ribbons of leeks and fresh goat cheese. And, obsessed with pickling and preserving, he packed blackberries in a jar with vinegar and herbs, yielding orbs of bursting fruit and tangy juice that brought an untamed element to a structured salad. There’s even a nod to Edna Lewis and Chef Peacock at the Miller Union bar, where the blackberry cordial recipe from The Gift of Southern Cooking (the celebrated book co-authored by Lewis and Peacock) is the base for many summer cocktails. The berries are green, just turning pink and red now, but they’ll be ready before you know it. And, one last time: Prepare yourself. Block out a weekend, gather the kids, get some snake boots and slather on sunscreen because the wild world of blackberry foraging awaits you.

Tart blackberries are the perfect foil to the sweetness of crème caramel. For the baking of the blackberry, goat cheese and leek tart, work the dough onto the back of a sheet pan. It conducts the proper amount of heat in the oven and helps keep the rectangular shape of the tart intact.

“Owen Southwell” continued from page 24 Callanwolde for Charles Howard Candler. Southwell then decided to strike out on his own and maintained an Atlanta office until 1931. To take advantage of Florida’s building boom, he also briefly opened an office in Tampa with partner Walter Felch. Like many of his peers, Southwell designed in the various revival styles popular in the 1920s, yet he was more eclectic in his use of masonry and plaster ornamentation than most. He frequently used clinker brick and other less common masonry techniques to give his exteriors texture. Limestone was used for quoins, casings and crenellation along with other elaborate cornices and conductor heads. Plaster ceiling mouldings, fanciful cornices and pediments, and limestone mantels were common interior elements. While wrought iron railings and leaded-glass transoms and side lights were commonly used at this time, Southwell frequently created his own designs rather than follow historical precedent. Southwell frequently designed two equally important façades on his residential projects. Several of his Atlanta projects are sited so that the front façades are seen on the approach to the house but are entered from the rear. This technique was used to dramatic effect at the Cator Woolford estate, “Jacqueland,” at 1815 Ponce de Leon Avenue. Likewise, the Marcus Emmert residence, “Dellbrook,” at 571 West Paces Ferry Road, is entered from the side, and the garden façade is as grand as the front. On these two projects, Southwell collaborated with Robert B. Cridland, a well-known landscape architect from Philadelphia who also practiced in Atlanta. After practicing on his own for less than two years, Southwell had two of his designs featured in Southern Architect and Building News in 1923, and this important magazine published Southwell’s work consistently throughout his time in Atlanta. Additionally, his work was frequently mentioned in The Atlanta Constitution and featured in Home & Field. While he is rarely credited for his contributions, Southwell’s Atlanta designs have continued to be published nationally in titles such as Southern Accents and Elle Decor. As the Great Depression worsened, Southwell consolidated his practice in New Iberia, where he continued to work until World War II, designing houses, churches, theaters and other commercial buildings. Ecclesiastical buildings became a niche for him in Louisiana, yet one of his earliest churches is the Sardis United Methodist Church (1927) on Powers Ferry Road in Atlanta. Southwell enjoyed a successful practice until his retirement. He died in 1961, and left an impressive legacy that has continued to be recognized in his native state. 55

INTERVIEW BY

SIGN THAT ARE GLOBAL. WHAT LED TO THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE BRAND? You grow up. You evolve, you absorb and you are exposed to things. Travel is critical. I am always traveling and shopping for clients because I love history and gardens. It is in a large measure a natural-born curiosity that pushed me to explore. It happens in a couple of ways. I explore by what I call armchair travel, reading, or the real thing. I always give examples in my lectures. You want people to be wowed in a lecture but there is so much to see in the next town, and so much our own country has to offer. YOU ARE NOW AN ICON OF DESIGN. WAS THAT YOUR LONG-TERM PLAN OR CAN WE STILL KNOCK YOU
Holy mackerel. I don’t think you ever have those grandiose ideas when you start out in business. I just wanted to survive. I wanted to be good and then I wanted to be better—and you never think about any of that other stuff like icon status or awards. You do your job and do it well. In the South, you don’t talk about money or accolades. YOU’VE WRITTEN SEVEN BOOKS…AND COUNTING. DO YOU EVER SLEEP? I love my sleep and I hug my pillow with gusto. You can’t do anything well if you are not refreshed. Arianna Huffington gave a great talk at the TED Conference on the topic of sleep and everyone should listen to it. Go and Google it. WHAT’S NEXT ON YOUR BUSY AGENDA? CAN WE HAVE A PEEK AT YOUR TO-DO LIST? Working on my garden big time. Working on book number eight; it will be out in 2012. Finishing a fabric collection to launch in the fall from Fabricut. Working on some murals for Stark. Doing preliminary sketches for a furniture collection. WE ARE LOVING BLUE-AND-WHITE IN DECORATING. HOW ABOUT YOU? I love it. Sapphires and pearls. DO YOU ENJOY COMING BACK DOWN SOUTH? I lived in Atlanta when I was first married and met great people and had great fun. Atlantans all have this great joie! I am always excited about coming south. Southerners love their houses and their gardens. They are kindred spirits. OVER WITH A FEATHER?

LITTLE HEAD TO DESIGN? It was definitely the other half of the brain screaming to “get out.” My creative side was saying, “don’t forget about me!” WHEN YOU BEGAN YOUR DESIGN PRACTICE, YOUR STYLE WAS FAIRLY “BRITISH.” WHAT INFLUENCED THAT EARLY PASSION? It was being from Virginia. I am a native of Richmond, and Virginia is very much that “Williamsburg/brown furniture/horse country” feel. Don’t forget that Nancy Lancaster was from Virginia; she was probably as responsible for the English country look to the English formality as John Fowler. You’d walk into a house and it was always dogs, baskets of logs, a drinks table and books. The flowers came out of the garden. YOU NOW HAVE INFLUENCES IN YOUR DE-

Steeplechase At Kingston Downs
Saturday, April 16, 2011
A Supplement to ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES
The Stewards of the Atlanta Steeplechase cordially invite you to attend the 46th Annual Race Meeting TO BENEFIT CAMP SOUTHERN GROUND, INC* AND THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Dear 2011 Atlanta Steeplechase Spectators,
Mr. Hal Barry, Chairman, Atlanta Steeplechase Board of Stewards
The Atlanta Steeplechase Board of Stewards welcomes you to the 46th running of the Atlanta Steeplechase! Kingston Downs once again hosts a great celebration of hunt country tradition at one of our state’s most prestigious outdoor social events. The Atlanta Steeplechase is very proud to support the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and to announce a new beneficiary, Camp Southern Ground, Inc.* We appreciate the opportunity to support the important work of these organizations. On the third Saturday in April, Kingston Downs will be transformed into a sea of people. Thousands will gather to watch powerful thoroughbreds and jockeys in colorful silks as they compete over a mile of terrain and hurdles for the prestige of $100,000 in purse money and the opportunity to bask in the glory of the winner’s circle. Beyond the exhilarating sport of Steeplechasing, families, friends, and business associates enjoy the mingling and socializing. The ‘Chase solidifies business as well as personal relationships and keeps both strong by bringing people together in the beautiful surroundings of Kingston Downs. Prior to the first race, there are plenty of activities for people of all ages and interests. Patrons can participate in the Hat Parade & Contest or the Tailgate Competition, or enjoy the pony rides, Jack Russell Terrier races, the rock climbing wall and air show. I wish to send a special thank you to Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles for once again producing this beautiful program, as well as every sponsor, patron and guest for their support of the event. Have a wonderful day at the Steeplechase! Hal Barry, Chairman, Atlanta Steeplechase Board of Stewards

Founded in 1946 the College of Veterinary Medicine today graduates approximately 90 professionals per year. With more than 130 faculty members (more than half have PhDs in addition to the DVM degree), the College represents the pinnacle for veterinary medical clinical instruction, service, and research. Its Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center, Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital, and Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study are among the best in the nation and some are the best in the world. Proceeds from the Atlanta Steeplechase will go toward building a much needed new hospital for animals and supporting the educational programs of the College.

DUANE HAMPTON At the Opening Night Party, Lotus House will shimmer in an ambience of international sights, music, cuisine and fragrance. Guests will preview the magnificent estate, the vision of the internationally acclaimed architect William T. Baker, and the masterful result of the work of Warren Sirzyk of Renaissance Development and Project Manager Jackie Cottrill. The premiere of Lotus House’s rooms and gardens, styled by a cadre of virtuoso designers, will add to the evening’s allure. The party will continue as guests mingle, dance and savor a gourmet buffet of Eastern and Western specialties. The special honored guest for the party and opening weekend will be Duane Hampton, design and magazine editor, author and prominent volunteer in New York’s cultural and philanthropic worlds. Her most recent book, Mark Hampton: An American Decorator, is a tribute to the legacy of her late husband, Mark Hampton. As an icon of American interior design, her husband Mark’s legacy includes decoration of the White House under President George W. Bush, designs for clients including such style setters as Anne Bass and Susan Burden, and arts patrons including as Lincoln Kirstein. His creativity and brilliance transformed design both in America and abroad and, together, they epitomized the finest in traditionalism with a contemporary flair. Her presence will add extraordinary cachet to the Opening Night Party, as guests can enjoy meeting and talking with her.

Please keep that idea in mind during your tour because most of the items in these spaces are for sale and are listed on a price sheet located in each room. Please ask the docent to show it to you. Write down the number of the item and the room number in which it is located; then, at the end of your tour, make your purchases at the Designer Sales Desk located on the terrace level. Purchases can be picked up on a designated day after the show ends.
COLLECTORS’ MARKET We are delighted to add a new dimension to our retail sales at Lotus House with the addition of Collectors’ Market, located on the terrace level at the end of your tour.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF ASA Welcome to “Lotus House,” the magnificent 41st annual Decorators’ Show House & Gardens presented by the Atlanta Symphony Associates Like our lovely azaleas and dogwoods, the Decorators’ Show House & Gardens is a springtime Atlanta tradition. This year’s beautiful Decorators’ Show House was designed by William T. Baker, one of the foremost residential designers practicing in the United States today, and exhibits the multi-cultural traditions of its owners. Lotus House showcases the work of 33 of the Southeast’s premier interior and landscape designers, who have transformed 29 separate design spaces with the magic of their craftsmanship. We know you will be dazzled and inspired by their artistry. In addition to our fabulous designers, it took a team of more than 100 dedicated volunteers and almost a year’s preparation to create the 2011 Decorators’ Show House. I am very grateful to this year’s extraordinary chairs, Ruth and Paul Marston, and the incredible leadership team they have put together who have given of their time and talent to run this important project and insure its success. We are privileged to have Adair and Dick White as honorary chairs of the 2011 Decorators’ Show House. Both Adair and Dick are longtime supporters of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and are active members of the ASO board. The Decorators’ Show House is one of several Atlanta Symphony Associates fund-raising events and volunteer initiatives in support of our nationally acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Funds raised by ASA support the ASO’s Education and Community Engagement programs including the Youth Orchestra and the Talent Development Program. The TDP trains and supports talented young African American and Latino musicians through private coaching, mentoring and performances. We are very proud of all of these young people. Whether they choose to become professional musicians or pursue other careers, music appreciation will have become an important part of their lives. We would love to have you join us as a member of the Atlanta Symphony Associates. You will find a membership enrollment form inserted in this booklet. For more information, visit atlantasymphony.org or call Sarah Levin at (404) 733-4921. Belinda Massafra President, Atlanta Symphony Associates

HONORARY CHAIRS
Longtime champions of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Adair White and her husband, Dick, a current member of the Symphony’s Board of Directors, are recognized for their immense contributions and volunteer leadership as Honorary Chairs of the 2011 Decorators’ Show House & Gardens. “Both Adair and Dick White represent the unflagging support and personal commitment that the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra finds the most valuable and significant resource,” ASO President Stanley Romanstein said in making the announcement. Having served 13 years as an ASO Board of Directors member, Adair undertook the complex assignment as Chair of the Architect Selection Task Force when the Symphony examined possibilities for new and expanded space. In 2002, Adair was saluted as honorary chair of the annual Atlanta Symphony Ball. Both she and Dick have given their guidance to the Board Governance Committee while, during two separate time periods, they chaired the Appassionato Committee. In acknowledgement of their exceptional service, both Adair and Dick were accorded Special Appreciation from the Association of Fund-raising Professionals in 2007. We honor you, Adair and Dick, for all of your tireless efforts on behalf of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra!

AT NTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES The Education & Community Engagement Initiatives of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is more than a grouping of programs; it is a guiding philosophy. The ASO began as a youth orchestra in 1945. Community and education are an integral part of this organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. The spectrum of offerings is broad. From a family-oriented concert series that introduces classical music to the very young, to intensive training programs, to continuing education opportunities for adults, the ASOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Engagement Initiatives truly does have something for everyone. School day concerts, training programs, continuing education, and community engagement efforts reach more than 100,000 patrons of all ages each year. The ASOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerts for Young People, our school day concerts, have grown from a simple introduction to the orchestra and exposure to classical repertoire to programs that include extensive award-winning preparatory materials. Highly engaging and entertaining, the ASOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerts for Young People serve more than 30,000 and have become an annual staple for many classroom teachers. Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2009-2010, the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO) has provided Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top student instrumentalists with an opportunity to perform orchestral masterworks under the finest conductors. Many of the Youth Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members go on to study in conservatories and university music departments, but the experience and discipline of being a part of this orchestra are treasured by all ASYO alumni. The ASYO was the featured orchestra at the National American String Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association (ASTA) Conference in March. In 2008, Mrs. Elinor Rosenberg Breman made a generous gift to open the door to this extraordinary musical experience to any student who demonstrates the desire and aptitude to achieve a chair in the ASYO. Established in 1993, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talent Development Program (TDP) was the first intense training program established by a major American orchestra to support talented, young African-American and Latino students who desire to pursue a career in classical music. Through the Azira G. Hill Scholarship Fund, the Program provides financial assistance to these students to attend leading summer music study programs. The success of the TDP has inspired collaboration between the ASO and Beacon of Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renaissance Learning Center to create a program called Kids with Strings, which will be jointly administered by both parties. The program introduces school-age children to classical music through an interactive, entertaining and engaging music curriculum. For the past 11 years the Atlanta Symphony Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community engagement component annually reaches over 13,000 metro Atlanta residents. ASO musicians perform more than 1,400 hours of community service each year through classroom contact, neighborhood chamber music concerts and interaction with members of community service organizations. The ASO is now endeavoring to work with metro Atlanta neighborhoods to completely re-imagine the way that it interacts with the city of Atlanta. This ground-breaking program, titled Rhythm In Time: A Community Experience, seeks to build community partnerships which will create unique and meaningful experiences with original programming, while building bridges across the city of Atlanta. For many seasons the ASO has offered continuing education opportunities to patrons through the ASOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concert Previews and Lectures of Note series. In 2008-2009, Lectures of Note became Conversations of Note. The program is now free to any member of the community, and has expanded beyond the lecture format. With live musical elements integrated into each event, this series is attracting a diverse group of artists, educators, professionals and audience members. Each year the Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to music and community has expanded to create a wider variety of musical and educational experiences for citizens of all ages. Partnering with community groups and schools to perform concerts in small community venues, ASO musicians travel throughout the greater Atlanta area to coach young musicians and provide classical music education to all ages. The programs are designed to educate, stimulate interest in classical music and create musical opportunities for people who may not otherwise have access to them. What are you looking for from your Atlanta Symphony Orchestra? There is something here for every age, for every level of interest and education, and for every level of involvement.

HOUSE HISTORY
LOTUS HOUSE Brings an alluring new dimension of multicultural traditions to the 2011 Decorators’ Show House & Gardens Atop a richly wooded knoll on West Wesley Road, one of Buckhead’s most prestigious addresses, the vision of the magnificent Lotus House, appears. According to Co-chairs Ruth and Paul Marston, who are leading the organization and implementation of this annual benefit for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, “Visitors will ascend the curving driveway and see an extraordinary new estate, designed by William T. Baker, recipient of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America’s Arthur Ross Award in Architecture and author of the beautifully illustrated book New Classicists. Lotus House reflects the multicultural traditions of its owners and of Atlanta itself as a progressive, vibrant and cosmopolitan regional capital. This estate brings an alluring new dimension to the Decorators’ Show House & Gardens, giving participating interior designers a 20,000-square-foot unique and elegant palette on which to work.” The owners, who chose Atlanta as their home after moving from their native India, have embraced Baker’s Neoclassical expertise and together have created a home incorporating elements of their own English and American architectural heritages. Renaissance Development Corporation and its owner, Warren Sirzyk, have used their more than 35 years of award-winning experience, coupled with 250 craftsmen and experts, to transform this property over the course of a year. Jackie Cottrill, an 18-year veteran of the Buckhead luxury home market, has brought her keen insight as project manager for Renaissance Construction on Lotus House. Belinda Massafra, president of the Atlanta Symphony Associates, echoed Ruth and Paul Marston’s enthusiasm for Lotus House, calling it, “An exceptional residence that will open the Decorators’ Show House & Gardens’ fifth decade as a cherished, highly anticipated ASA and Atlanta tradition.” Ruth Marston noted that, “Surprises and unique spaces abound, from the gem-like interior garden courtyard with a serene lotus pond and a gracefully curving staircase leading to an octagonal second floor salon with matching octagonal skylight. The rooftop terrace with outdoor fireplace enchants guests with vistas of Buckhead’s greenscape and sparkling city lights.”

1 | FRONT ENTRANCE Welcoming, So , Complementary WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM?
The evergreen accents help soften the front of the home, making it welcoming while complementing the architecture. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? It is simple and timeless. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
We want visitors to feel welcomed as they enter the home. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” The containers draw
the eye to the front door.

2 | FOYER Understated, Elegant, Unexpected WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? You only get one
chance to make a first impression, so we wanted to make this room memorable as well as timeless. We love the antique Mongolian warriors, which were made in Italy from terra cotta and glazed in multiple layers of jewel tones. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? We strive to reflect clients’ dreams and desires when they may not even know or be able to articulate what those design desires might be. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
Our idea was to show collective creativity and inspire our guests to recapture that lingering first impression for their own personal space. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” For us, “of the moment” literally means the moment that visitors walk up to the formal entrance of this grand estate and say “wow!” This moment of appreciation applies to both contemporary and traditional design; when a space is beautiful and timeless, it becomes a personal sanctuary.

3 | DINING ROOM Timeless, Classical, Elegant WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM?
The blending of a lounge area within a traditional dining room. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? It’s a fresh, clean and transitional space. It is not forced; just simple and sophisticated. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
That you can comfortably blend old and new elements to add dimension and excitement. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” Classic design never goes out of style; it is always “of the moment.”
MELANIE TURNER TURNER DAVIS INTERIORS
4 | WET BAR AND KITCHEN OFFICE Warm, Organized, Intimate WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? I love the glassware and
accessories in the bar. I have an obsession with glasses. I also love that the office is a little refuge for the lady of the house. It’s calming. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? The kitchen office is rustic and soft, with small pops of color, while the bar is a little more glamorous. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? I want it to feel inviting. I want people to see the bar and want to host a party, and I want them to see the office and desire a similar functionality in their own home. I want them to feel comfortable in these spaces. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” I think my two rooms are very different. The wet bar is a little more modern and fresh. The kitchen office is in tune with today’s lifestyle, having soft neutrals with rustic accents. NANCY DUFFEY SCOUT FOR THE HOME

5 | PUJA ROOM AND PUJA TERRACE Hindu-Gothic, Soulful, Experiential WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? It is organic
and balanced, with characteristics that are opposing and symbiotic: The use of colors is commanding and serene, as are the lines of the furnishings and art. Positive energy will be in infinite flow. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? It is, in many ways, the perfect space for me. My vision for this room brings together themes from the Hindu Festival of Colors with those of Brighton Pavilion. I strive for three things in design of any space: extraordinary use of color, experiential and soulful design, and beauty. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? The room resonates brilliance and energy, yet it is serene and meditative. It creates a sense of yin and yang, a balance for the spirit. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” We live in a time when people are seeking a higher purpose and renewed hope. The puja—the soul of the home—is not a novel idea, but its discovery in our society is, and it is something we are all intrinsically seeking. RAYMOND GOINS R L GOINS INC
6 | KITCHEN AND BREAKFAST ROOM Relaxed, Fashionable, Colorful WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The serenity
I feel when walking into the space. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a strong connection to the outdoors and encourage you to gaze out at the trees. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE?
It resonates with an aesthetic that is eclectic, clean, fresh and accessible. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? The versatility of
the room and how it was designed to be beautiful and functional. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?”
It has a fun, relaxed vibe that is created by the colorful furnishings and the impression of the great outdoors.

7 | FAMILY ROOM Vibrant, Very Inviting, Va-Va-Voom! WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? As the central
room in the house, the Family Room overflows with energy. The vibrant Raj-inspired window treatments and bright colors reinforce its lively nature. Music, games, conversation and even quiet contemplation are all part of its function. Quality resounds throughout for a very stylish, grounded sense of home. And even though the room is well planned, it has a feeling of sprezzatura—a certain nonchalance, as if collected over time. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? Original art, antiques, prop-
erly scaled furniture, comfortable groupings, vibrant textiles, exquisitely detailed window treatments and rich carpets combining to achieve a multi-layered whole. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? The layout and furnishings work so well that it seems as if the family has lived here forever. The classics can always be made to look new again. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” A thoughtful plan, strong color, sense of place, layered textures, fine furniture, quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. It’s Atlanta-meets-L.A.-meets-Chippendale! PATRICIA MCLEAN PATRICIA MCLEAN INTERIORS INC
8 | MASTER BEDROOM SUITE Quiet, Intimate, Serene WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The bold
and multicolored patterned drapery and the delicate sheers on the walls and alcoves. HOW DOES YOUR SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? The soft neutral palette of creamy deep grays, taupe and rich pewter, as well as mustard yellow, all of which are among Adams’ favorite colors. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? To be
enveloped by the sunny shades of the Mediterranean and the rich jewel tones of royal tapestries. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” The bold use of color; something that gives the soft grays—mixed
with a pop of gold—very chic, but classic at the same time.

Elegance and style create a beautiful showcase of cabinets with glass doors for the homeowner’s saris and Indian cultural wardrobe, as well as ample storage and organization. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” It is efficient beyond belief: there is an ironing board close to the laundry room—positioned by a cabinet that stores an iron, spray starch, etc.—that’s located within view of a flat-screen TV. There are hidden pullout columns to store scarves, necklaces and belts for him and the islands provide a bounty of storage for undergarments, socks, workout clothes and more.

1 3 | STUDY Polished, Poised, Intriguing WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? Its
inherent comforts. The room encourages you to reach for a book and stretch out on the sofa or settle into an armchair for a moment alone. A writing desk by the window provides a place to jot down thoughts of the day or catch up with the latest blogs. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? A subtle neutral backdrop contrasts with vibrant red and pink accents, while the crisp, clean lines of the contemporary furnishings are softened by natural fabrics, some with traditional patterns. Antiques and art create the ambience of a well-traveled family. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? Everyone needs a room that immediately melts away the stress of the day. With a carefully selected color palette and furnishings, a space can be relaxing and revitalizing at the same time.

17 | UPPER LEVEL GUEST RETREAT Modern, Bold, Chic WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The architectural detail of the built-in reading nook.
Thanks to bold upholstery and luxurious draped fabric, it feels like a very private space tucked within this modern guest suite. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? It’s all about creating layers of palettes through
timeless yet bold fabrics and unexpected details, all the while upholding the architectural integrity of the home and adding a sense of relaxed luxury. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? To think about making a space in one’s home that is very special to them. I think all too often, homeowners design their homes for their guests and not for themselves. It’s important to relax and feel pampered in at least one space in the home and to design a home to reflect oneself and one’s family. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” By mixing a unique twist of rich woods against the softer upholstered details of the reading nook and the curves of the custom bed, this room’s design steps up to today’s modern elegance. CINDY DAVIS LUXURY LIFESTYLES DESIGN

19 | UPSTAIRS POWDER ROOM Glamorous, Clean, Crisp WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The most important
feature in a powder room is the vanity wall. Like a vignette that you would see in a dining or living room, it can make a bold statement with the right cabinet or chest, decorative mirror and sconces. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? I tend to lean toward minimalistic design with maximum impact. For instance, I may do an entirely monochromatic room, adding vintage pieces, pops of color and bold artwork for effect. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? A
powder room doesn’t have to be boring. It can have a “wow” factor and still be a calming retreat. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” I like to combine both
classic and modern palettes while introducing the latest in design trends. This room will be “of the moment” because of its innovation and element of surprise.
MICHAEL HABACHY HABACHY DESIGNS INC
20 | MUDROOM Tranquil, Refined, Historical WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The
simplicity of the single window and how the light filters through it. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? The contrast in texture and juxtaposition of modern with traditional fixtures. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? To envision
spending time with the family in this space, reminiscing about the good times they’ve just had together. I want it to feel lived in, comfortable and beautiful. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” Our younger clientele is developing a greater appreciation for antiques, and is also open-minded to combining them with contemporary and mid-century pieces. People are purchasing what they fall in love with regardless of period or provenance.

walls and custom stone crown moulding, we love the floor-to-ceiling asymmetrical mirror in front of the floating vanity. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? Unexpected elegance incorporated into a functional but beautiful space. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE? It is possible to turn a space as small and utilitarian as a powder room into a “jewel box.” WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” The mix of classical elements with traditional, incorporating contemporary details to create a timeless and memorable room.
CHERYL LUCAS & JACKIE COTTRILL JACKIE F COTTRILL LLC
22 | BASEMENT FOYER Engaging, Urbane, Classic WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE ROOM? The ceiling height. In
such a small and awkward space, I wanted to take advantage of the height to create energy in a room that is typically a transition space. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? It does so through the use of classic materials and furnishings, but with a diverse mix of art and accessories. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
I want this space to be thought-provoking. I would like visitors to pause in a space they would normally simply pass through. A foyer is an opportunity for an everevolving design statement: new lamps, accessories or fresh flowers make it a great place to tell a narrative. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” In an effort to make the classics not feel “stale,” large-format photography and contemporary artwork makes this room feel very current and alive.

creative cabinetry and the eclectic fabrics from Robert Allen. Both impart a global sensibility. HOW DOES THIS SPACE ILLUSTRATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? One thing you will always see in my designs is a bold use of color. I never use a beige-on-beige palette. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
Don’t underestimate the intelligence and sophistication of young adults. This design pays homage to their energy and creativity and the fact that they are just beginning an incredibly challenging journey. However, it also allows young adults to enjoy their free time while they still have it. WHAT MAKES YOUR ROOM “OF THE MOMENT?” It incorporates the work of young, “up-and-coming” talents such as master carpenter,TJ Roebuck and an AV specialist Ari Newman. I am also using a very edgy color scheme and the latest from Varaluz lighting, both of which add to the relevance of this design as it pertains to the current climate in contemporary interiors.

this space with the use of traditional shapes and contemporary materials such as metal, concrete, etc. WHAT IS THE ONE IDEA THAT YOU WANT VISITORS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPACE?
