Ask gallerists Ann Huff and Meg Harrington

the secret to a well-decorated space and their answer issimple: Buy what you love. The pair brings this fuss-freephilosophy to life in their new home furnishings andlifestyle boutique, Huff Harrington Home at 102 WestPaces Ferry Road. “Trust yourself. When you buy whatyou love, it will always work. And that’s exactly what thisshop is,” explains Huff of the airy boutique that embod-ies their love of all things French.

A guided tour through the space—an industrial-meets-Parisian market—reveals a curated treasure troveof furnishings, accessories, books, soaps, scents and more,all carefully handpicked by the charismatic duo and theirclose-knit staff of five. “We felt strongly that everythingneeds to have a story,” Harrington says. “We’re carryingthese incredible foutas that Ann had found in a market touse in her pool house. There’s atrick to washing them so that theycome out feeling as soft as cash-mere. We love telling these stories;it gives all our products such per-sonality and soul.”

Inspiration for the shop’s stockof rarities also stems from thepair’s cultural immersion trips thatthey host throughout the year inFrance’s picturesque town ofProvence. “It’s so much fun to seewhat appeals to our clients at themarkets, where they’ll spend hourslooking at everything from table-cloths to candles and figuring outhow they’re going to fit it all intotheir suitcases,” Harrington ob-serves. “Exposing people to French

sensibilities is exciting. I mean, where else but in Francewould you find tear-off linen napkins? It’s brilliant.” It’sthis belief of effortlessly combining beauty and conven-ience, elegance and comfort that the long-time friendsare eager to share with Atlanta.

For Huff, the renovation and decoration of her stylish,sun-soaked Parisian flat played an important role in thecreation of the duo’s shop. “I purchased two gorgeousmirrors and chandeliers for the apartment, and was im-mediately petrified when I first hung them, thinking I’djust recreated the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. But theminute I started adding furniture around them, it, ofcourse, came together beautifully,” she says. “That col-lected feel is what we strive for at Huff HarringtonHome. It’s about buying what you love, mixing it to-gether, throwing in touches of color, glam and surprise,

and bringing it all home.”

Secrets de FranceAnn Huff has residences in bothParis and Provence. Here, sheshares a snapshot of life in France,along with helpful hints and haunts.

THE PERFECT DAY IN PARIS involves alittle shopping, a lot of walking, afeast for the eyes in a museum, animpromptu concert, a “coupe dechampagne” on the terrace of a fa-vorite café, a wonderful dinner ina local restaurant and a sparklinglight show from the Eiffel Towerafter dark. The perfect day inParis is any day.

OPPOSITE: HUFF AND HAR-RINGTON IN THEIR NEW

FRENCH-INSPIRED LIFESTYLEBOUTIQUE THAT RECENTLY

MADE ITS DEBUT NEXT TO THEST. REGIS HOTEL & RESI-

DENCES IN BUCKHEAD.

OOH LA LA!

ALWAYS CARRY WITH ME: Metrotickets and the weekly“Pariscope” that has all the cul-tural listings for the week,along with shows, markets andevents. And an umbrella—evenon sunny days—because the ex-pression “wait five minutes andit will change” is truer thanever in Paris.FAVORITE EXERCISE: Walking—it’s why I never gain weightwhen I go to Paris! There is somuch to see and appreciate,from the architectural details ofthe buildings and the storewindows to the views along theriver and the open sky in themany parks. I could walk forhours in Paris, and often do.

ALWAYS ON THE SEARCH FOR:

Comfortable shoes, preferablydark-colored with a slight heeland hidden under a pair ofjeans so that there is just a littleelement of chic. To take theedge off cold weather: Woolsocks! I can’t believe it took meall these years to appreciate thebenefits of wool socks, to cod-dle those feet when they’rewalking for miles a day.BEST MODE OF TRANSPORTATION:

The Metro. It’s easy, efficientand can be fun, with im-promptu concerts in many ofthe metro stations. But my favorite way to get around is either by bus (Number 69 islike having a private tour of allthe best sites in Paris!) or byVelib, the bicycle rental systemthat has pick-up and drop-offpoints every 300 metres. C’estformidable—and a boon to the environment and thighmuscles!HOW TO LOOK FRENCH: It’s theold cliché but ever so true—ascarf. Parisiennes wear themany time of year, elegantly tiedwith complete insouciance. Inthe winter, they are a must forcomfort; in the summer, they’rejust a fashion necessity!

THE PERFECT PARISIAN ACCES-

SORY: A dog! It doesn’t need tobe one of those dogs that fol-low their owners around therue Cler, but a cute, well-trained little pup is the perfectbest friend to accompany youat all times—including diningat restaurants, of course.WHERE TO BUY ANTIQUES: Thereare several antiques shows heldevery year, and you can almostalways time your trip for one ofthem. My favorite is Chatou,held in March and September,but I also love Bastille (Mayand November) and the weeklyVanves, held on Saturday andSunday mornings. Then, ofcourse, there is also the famousMarché aux Puces de Clignan-court, which is also open onweekends. And we’re just aquick train ride to Belgium,which is another great sourcefor antiques!FAVORITE SHOPPING STREET: Forfood, rue Cler. For shoes, ruede Grenelle. For hardware, thebasement of the BHV depart-ment store. For everything else,rue du Bac. This long, narrowand unassuming street is one ofmy favorites in Paris, filled withmarvelous home decoratingstores that feature everythingfrom ultra modern to retrochic. ALWAYS BRING BACK WITH ME: Itused to be that I would fill mysuitcase with favorite soaps,scents and lotions for whichthe French are famous, butnow that we’ve opened HuffHarrington Home, where wecarry lots of these items, mypersonal suitcase can be a lotlighter. There’s still one thing Ican’t live without, and that Ihaven’t figured out how to

carry at our store: Compeedbandages—the best blistermedicine ever and an immedi-ate cure for those poor, over-worked feet!

Bon VoyageHuff and Meg Harrington hostintimate shopping trips to theSouth of France. “Our week-long trips to a perfectly gor-geous spot of Southern Franceare, quite truthfully, an exhila-rating immersion in all thingsFrench and Provencal,” saysHarrington. Here are more ofher thoughts:

Les Murets is home base forthe week; it’s a charming, ram-

bling house lovingly and taste-fully renovated and decoratedthat captures the essence ofthat French je ne sais quoi. Thereare six bedrooms, a pool, a ten-nis court and a lovely terracethat overlooks valleys, moun-tains and villages. It’s a hop,skip and a jump from the beau-tiful village of Gordes.

THE DAYS RUN SOMETHING LIKE

THIS: Wake up to the sun rising,roosters crowing and birdssinging. A light breakfast in thekitchen or on the terrace mightbe a farm-fresh egg, a slice ofperfectly ripe Cavaillon melonand a crisp croissant, still warmfrom the oven.• Then it’s off and running tothe market, armed with basketsand cameras. The French (es-pecially in the South) plantheir weeks around the dailymarkets that take place comerain, shine, snow or ice. If it’sSunday, we’re off to Isle sur laSorgue to scour the brocante(picture Scott’s Antique Mar-ket transplanted to a 16th-cen-tury French town). After lunch(either at Jardin de Quai,which is very chic and full ofParisians and plenty of At-lantans, or the more low-keyCarre des Herbes), it’s fun tomeander through the manymews that line the main drag.That’s where the high-end an-

tiques dealers are and they’vegot the really, really seriousstuff. What a feast for the eyes.• After a full day, its back to LesMurets for a restorative glass ofbubbly from Domaine deBastidonne, a lovely little vine-yard that happens to be about30 seconds from the house.Weather permitting, dinner isserved on the terrace and isusually a local specialtywhipped up by Gordes caterers,Anne or Chantal. We neverskip a huge green salad (servedaprès le diner, of course) and acheese course.• The days follow with visits toGordes (a spectacular Roman-built village perched into alimestone cliff ) and uber-chicSt. Remy. We might decide togo to 6 p.m. vespers at L’Abbayede Senaque, a nearby 12th-cen-tury abbey that will quite liter-ally take your breath away. Wemight pop into an olive oil millfor a tasting, stop by the asylumwhere Vincent Van Goghstayed (its old stone walls aredecorated by art created bymentally-disabled patients whostill use the facility) or maybetake a peek at the latest waresoffered by French tastemakerEdith Mezard. Lunches arelong and leisurely. Another fa-vorite day trip is to Cassis, acharming little fishing villageon the Mediterranean. We’ll

explore the village and do a lit-tle shopping, then eat bowlfulsof soupe de poisson—a heav-enly mix of fish and brothserved over a slice of bread anda dollop of rouille, which is anaddictive blend of garlic andherbs.• It’s all fun and games: Theevenings on the terrace aregreat fun and full of lively con-versation. One of our favoritethings to do on the last eveningis to play “Show and Tell.”Everyone rushes to their roomsto artfully and tastefully display

their purchases from the week.We’ve been known to giveprizes for clever merchandisingand it’s fun to hear “where didyou get that?” and “I didn’t seethat vendor!” and “I’ll tradeyou the espadrilles for the setof linen napkins that I missedin St. Remy!”

TURES IN ATLANTA ARE VACANTAND HAVE NO CURRENT PLANSFOR REUSE. AMONG THE REM-

NANTS OF ATLANTA'S RAILROADLEGACY ARE PEACHTREE STATIONON PEACHTREE STREET AND THENORFOLK SOUTHERN COMPLEXON SPRING STREET. PEACHTREE

STATION, NOW KNOWN ASBROOKWOOD STATION, WAS

DESIGNED BY NEEL REID ANDBUILT IN 1917. IT IS LEASED TO

AMTRAK. THE NORTHFOLKSOUTHERN COMPLEX INCLUDESTWO 1912 BUILDINGS AS WELL

AS THE LARGEST VACANT SWATHOF UNDEVELOPED LAND IN ATLANTA, KNOWN AS “THE

Places in PERIL From Atlanta to Savannah, buildings across Georgia are in need of revitalization

The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s

2012 list of 10 “Places in Peril” includes a range of publicand private buildings across the state.

“This is the Trust’s seventh-annual Places in Peril list,”says Mark C. McDonald, president and CEO of the Trust.“We hope the list will continue to bring preservation ac-tion to Georgia’s imperiled historic resources by high-lighting 10 representative sites.” Places in Peril is designedto raise awareness about Georgia’s significant historic, archaeological and cultural resources, including buildings,

structures, districts, archaeological sites and cultural land-scapes that are threatened by demolition, neglect, lack ofmaintenance, inappropriate development or insensitivepublic policy.

Through Places in Peril, the Trust will encourage own-ers and individuals, organizations and communities to employ proven preservation tools, financial resources andpartnerships in order to reclaim, restore and revitalize historic properties that are in jeopardy.

AROUND TOWN WITH

Naomi von Habersham�

If I were to compile a list of my favorite things, theword “classic” would appear throughout. There’s Coca-ColaClassic, the most marvelous beverage ever invented. I’ve beendrinking the pause that refreshes since I was a young girl inMontezuma, although at that time the official name was sim-ply Coca-Cola (or, as we pronounced it, co-coler.) Classicmovies are another favorite, something which might explainmy affection for Turner Classic Movies. And I have adoredclassic rock since my glory days, though back then it was justplain rock. “Classic” wasn’t added until years later, once therockers (and I) hit middle age.

In a city like Atlanta where people, places, and things are al-ways coming and going, classic status should be conferred onany business that’s been around for more than a few decades.Like the White House in Buckhead where they’ve been serv-ing grits and Greek food since 1948. That restaurant is certainly a classic, as is The Varsity, which dates back to 1928.Need some cheese straws, yeast rolls, and petits fours for yournext soiree? (All of which, by the way, are classic Southern partyfood.) You’ve got options: Henri’s (founded in 1929); RhodesBakery (1930); and McEntyre’s Bakery in Smyrna (1959).

Let’s move on to retailers. There’s Lewis & Sheron Textilesand Forsyth Fabrics (1944 and 1949, respectively); who hasn’tbought fabric from one or both over the years? And I mustn’tforget Charles Willis. Since 1948, they’ve been outfitting ourchina cabinets and butlers pantries with the finest dinnerwareand crystal. And then there’s the granddaddy (or maybe Ishould call it the great granddaddy) of Atlanta shoe shops:Bennie’s Shoes. That business has been in existence in someform or another since 1909!

The word classic is defined as “traditional” and “enduring.”Well, all of these businesses are certainly enduring and have stood the test of time. Come to think of it, maybe I’m aclassic too. Naomi von Habersham, in existence since 19--.(Wouldn’t you like to know?)

2 Passion for a Purpose

Letter from the DeanGrace to you and peace!

On behalf of the people of the Cathedral Parish of St. Philip, I welcome you to the 2012 Cathedral Antiques Show. As always, I also wel-come you to this church, established in 1847 as the first Episcopal Church in Atlanta. We moved to our present loca-tion here in Buckhead in 1932, and we have grown tremendously since then.

The Cathedral Antiques Show began over 40 years ago as a small and sea-sonal fund-raiser organized by our par-

ish Episcopal Church Women group. How wonderfully it has grown since then! The work –and ministry—now requires a year-round commitment and has donated almost 3 million dollars to charitable organizations. I thank this year’s Co-Chairs, one of whom is a good friend: Nancy Rizor, and the other of whom is a great wife: Boog Candler! They have organized hundreds of volunteers in creating this weeklong event. I also salute my good Cathedral friends, Jane and Hicks Lanier, Honorary Chairs of the Antiques Show.

Obviously, we delight in the antiques presented here, in a show con-sidered one of the finest in the Southeast. But this effort involves more than antiques! This is also a powerful ministry of outreach; the proceeds this year are designated for All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD). I urge you to learn more about AADD, an organization that many of our parishioners personally support. A much needed Family Support Crisis Center will be opened in Decatur, furthering the goal to keep families living with develop-mental disabilities together while facing overwhelming challenges.

I thank each of you for visiting the Cathedral today, and I invite you to return for other occasions of service and prayer. We are open daily, and this is truly a house of prayer for all people. Your pres-ence helps us fulfill that mission of openness and hospitality!

May God bless you always,

The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler

Dean of the Cathedral

Letter from the ChairmenWelcome to the 2012 Cathedral

Antiques Show and Tour of Homes.

We invite you to experience and enjoy the many exciting features of our 41st annual event. Leading up to the Show, you’ll partake of a sumptuous feast of design expertise and inspiration from our inaugural First Place Passion event, our renowned Tour of Homes and our returning Inspiration House. You’ll then travel back in time with the exceptional finds offered by our stellar antiques exhibitors. You won’t want to miss our new event on Friday night of the Show, Drinks & Antiques—A Night for the Young and Savvy. We will entertain, educate and excite you about the world of antiques and design—no doubt you’ll be inspired with plenty of ideas for bringing our treasures to life in your own personal surroundings.

Over these past four decades, the work of the Episcopal Church Women has been centered on outreach in the Atlanta community; each year we renew our “Passion for a Purpose” pledge and care-fully select our beneficiary. This year we lift up the vital work of All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) and invite you to learn about their important efforts to build communities of sup-port, acceptance and opportunity for children, adults and families living with developmental disabilities.

Our highest honor and pleasure has been to lead such a talented, generous and dedicated group of volunteers and supporters. We are grateful for our Honorary Chairs, Jane and Hicks Lanier, whose contributions and service to the Cathedral and the Atlanta community are truly inspiring. The service, support and sacri-fice of our show committee, the Cathedral clergy and staff, the board members and dedicated staff of AADD, and our corporate sponsors and show patrons all comprise a beautiful engine. Hap-pily, our collective passion fuels that engine and thankfully, your patronage ensures our success.

Please enjoy your visit, with our heartfelt appreciation for your support.

�About the Cathedral Antiques Show

2012 Honorary ChairsJane and Hicks Lanier

Serving Boldly through Quiet Philanthropy

Our 2012 Honorary Chairs Jane and Hicks Lanier have lived a life of dedication and service to the Atlanta community. When asked about the forces that have guided them, they first cite the blessings of family and tradition. Their life together is under-scored by a shared philosophy of service, of quietly giving back with the goal of bold and lasting impact. They both point to the legacies of their parents who instilled in them a strong commitment to their church and community. Hicks grew up at The Cathedral of St. Philip, but spent the first eight years of his married life with Jane in New York. There was no question that upon their return to Atlanta they would return to St. Philips where they both treasure the liturgy, clergy and physical beauty of the place. Their quiet support of “all things Cathedral” has been unwavering and we honor their faithful, good works. The depth and breadth of the Laniers’ professional, civic and charitable endeavors are truly remarkable. Hicks is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Atlanta-based Oxford Industries, Inc. He is a graduate and Trustee Emeritus of the Westminster Schools, a graduate and Trustee of Vanderbilt University, and a graduate of the Har-vard Business School. He is a former Trustee of Egleston Children’s Hospital (now Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta). Hicks currently serves as director on five corporate boards, and together with Jane continues the great Lanier family tradition of service to Piedmont Hospital. Jane is a graduate of the University of Georgia and works passionately for education and the arts, currently serving on the boards of the Atlanta Speech School, the Woodruff Arts Center, the High Museum, and the Forward Arts Foundation (where she has previously served as Chairman and President). She is a former Trustee of The Alliance Theatre. Jane is an Emeritus Trustee of the University of Georgia Foundation, formerly chairing its Foundation Fellows Committee, and now serves the University as a member of the Neel Reid Scholarship Committee of Peachtree Garden Club. Family is the essence of this dynamic couple. It’s evident that compassion for others was the model for their upbringing and they pass this gift down as lovingly and completely as they themselves received it. Their three children, Jay, Liza and Stephen, have given them five grandchildren, with one more on the way. Spending as much time as possible with their grandchildren is their recipe for youth and happiness. Traveling together as a family is their great pleasure. In their time together, the couple enjoys golf and hunting, especially with good friends. We at the Cathedral Antiques Show and Tour of Homes would like to thank Jane and Hicks for their leadership, thoughtfulness and contributions in support of All About Developmental Disabilities. We celebrate their tradition of giving and we hope to reflect their example.

Founded in 1969, the Cathedral Antiques Show is a community outreach project sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of the Cathedral of St. Philip. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, devoted leadership and support from the Church, the antique dealers and our event sponsors, the Antiques Show has donated more than $3 million to Atlanta-area charitable causes that might not otherwise get the funds or exposure this event provides. Truly a Passion for a Purpose.

�2012 Cathedral Antiques Show Benefi ciary

All About Developmental Disabilities

Families living with developmental disabilities often find themselves facing over-whelming challenges that lead to crisis. To meet this staggering need, All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) will open a new Family Support Crisis Center in Decatur, with the generous grant from the 2012 Cathedral Antiques Show. This state-of-the-art crisis center will strive to keep families together and contribute to preventing the need for residential or institutional care. “AADD is truly honored to have been selected as the 2012 Cathedral Antiques Show beneficiary,” said Dave Blanchard, who serves as AADD’s Executive Director. “This generous gift will enhance our ability to do whatever it takes so that families living with developmental disabilities receive the best services, resources and support systems possible throughout their lifetime.” The Crisis Center will provide a unique range of customized services, resources and support to meet the varied and changing needs of families who care for children and adults living with developmental disabilities. This is critical in developing more stability in these families’ lives, homes and communities. AADD’s ongoing goal is to keep families together, often advocating for them in the court system, finding housing, helping persons with developmental disabilities in getting the education that is legally theirs, and assisting with employment. AADD serves more than 5,500 people annually, by working with agencies and providers in the community to improve the quality of life for its clients. Developmental dis-abilities include cerebral palsy, down syndrome, autism, and a wide range of other conditions that are usually diagnosed in early childhood. The need is great.

AADD is leading the charge in working with the criminal justice system. In the city and state, the organization is the main resource for law enforcement officers, judges and attorneys by helping them understand the complexities and challenges when dealing with people with developmental disabilities. AADD also empowers people with disabilities to advocate for themselves and use non-litigation strategies

in the areas of housing, education, public transit and community integration. Its advocacy programs empower individuals to learn the skills necessary to be productive and successful members of their communities. AADD was founded 55 years ago by a group of concerned parents who wanted to support their sons and daughters, so they could be better integrated into their communities. Since 1956, AADD has worked to increase public awareness, develop change, and expand opportunities for individuals and their families throughout Georgia. The organization’s unique philosophy provides a family-oriented and community-based approach that offers support for caregiv-ers and individuals. Also, AADD provides for the lifetime of the people they serve, because a developmental disability never goes away. This support is offered to individuals and families for “as long as it takes.”

For more information about volunteer and donation opportuni-ties, please visit or call (404) 881-9777 or visit aadd.org.

Before coming to AADD, Nathan was homeless and trying to care for his son. AADD secured housing for him through its Housing Opportunities Program. Na-than told AADD, “I just want to be the best father I can be for Shamar.”

Currently: � There are 90,000 people in the State of Georgia living with a developmental disability.� Georgia is ranked 46th in the nation in total fiscal support for people living with disabilities.� More than half of Georgia families living with a developmental disability are facing severe and persistent poverty.� More than 40 percent of AADD clients have experienced violence or sexual exploitation.� People with developmental disabilities are more likely to be taken advantage of by others, experience homelessness, or encounter the criminal justice system.

As a graduate of the Partners in Policymak-ing Program, Judith Moen Stanley learned how to effectively advocate for her son Phil-lip, leading to graduation from high school, and acceptance to the University of West Georgia, where he studies and lives his dream.

For 10 years, AADD has led an innovative training program called Partners in Policymaking. Its mission: To teach effective advocates.

Northside Drive Nancy Creek Road

This majestic English-Manor style home, designed by William T. Baker, fol-lows in the grand tradition of Buckhead estates and combines a high level of craftsmanship and design. The subtleties of English Manor style architecture are captured with the incredible attention to detail in the house. The English clay tile roof and the limestone accents reflect Tudor archi-tecture, as does the stone cladding, imported from Pennsylvania. Even the mortar was researched to match time honored traditions. The amazing interior details include hand carved doors and wainscoting with Gothic inspired designs, and an intricately carved oak staircase. The li-brary’s plaster ceiling incorporates an Elizabethan pattern, and is a particular highlight. While the house presents a formal appearance, the floorplan represents the more casual way in which families live in the 21st century. At its heart, this is a family house, and the flow and design of the house work beautifully for the homeowners and their children. The family spends much time in the kitchen-family room, a space that is simultaneously airy and open, with its soaring ceiling, as well as comfortable and relaxed. The interior design of the house was largely orchestrated by Nancy War-ren, who created both formal and casual areas with a wonderful livability. Nancy incorporated many fine furniture pieces and artwork that the homeowners already possessed, as well as new finds especially suited for the house. The result is a house that flows in both color and style in a seamless manner, and truly reflects the homeowners.

This custom French Normandy style house was the result of a collabora-tion between architects Spitzmiller & Norris and interior designer Suzanne Kasler; the homeowner gave the renowned architecture and design teams carte blanche to create a highly livable and beautiful space that would work well for both family life and entertaining. The architects characterize the house as having a whisper of French Nor-mandy – they did not strictly adhere to the style, but rather took aspects of it. Of particular note are the chimneys, which find their precedent in the 17th century architecture of western coastal France. The elegant pointed arch limestone door surround, the cedar shake roof, and the subtle color scheme of the bricks and shutters complete the soft European aesthetic of the house. Inside the house, the light wood floors and open and connected feel of the floorplan work seamlessly with the French Normandy style of the exterior. With this superb architectural backdrop, Kasler expertly sequenced color and texture throughout the rooms, and used a mix of the antique, the vintage, and the contemporary to achieve a timeless yet also fresh feel to the house. The interiors of the house were featured as the cover story of House Beautiful in 2008, as well as in Kasler’s book Inspired Interiors. This house is a wonderful example of the new traditional aesthetic in Atlanta; the architecture, design, and landscape are all rooted in the clas-sic foundation that Atlanta loves so much, but with a wonderful relaxed elegance.

Tour of HomesWritten by Holly Street Photography by Emily Followill

Tour of Homes Sponsored by



�Nawench Drive Tuxedo Road

The setting for this 1930s Georgian Revival house is truly idyllic; positioned on one of Atlanta’s most prestigious streets, the entrance is lined by an allée of trees that beautifully frames the house and provides a fitting entrance to this one of a kind house. The homeowners have lived here for over 30 years, and are only the third owners of the house. A strong passion for their home is seen in the extensive renovation projects that have taken place through the years; although they have taken great care to maintain the original integrity of the floor plan, ev-ery space has been updated or expanded in some way to create a more family friendly and light filled design. In recent years, significant updates and renovations to the upstairs have taken place. A grown son’s bedroom was recently transformed into a luxuri-ous guest suite, and a custom designed mural was hand painted by Ray Goins in the entry and stair hall. Designer Beth Webb was involved in the recent renovations and the new streamlined direction of the upstairs décor. The strength of the architecture provides an ideal backdrop for the own-ers’ collection of treasured items from their extensive travels throughout the world. Each item has a story and a memory, reflecting a lifetime of adven-ture and experiences. Walking through the rooms in the house is like going on a journey around the world, and makes the décor of the house a deeply personal reflection of the passions and interests of the homeowners. It is houses like this one that have become part of the fabric of the rich architectural legacy of Atlanta, and inspiration for the new generation of clas-sic architecture.

Nestled into a private wooded lot, this stone and white clapboard house imparts a sense of great age, and yet the house was completed only a year ago. Architect Stan Dixon looked to American architectural references as inspira-tion for the design, in particular the pre-revolutionary farm houses built of stone found in Pennsylvania’s Bucks County. For the interiors, the goal was to create a modern house with an older feel, and an atmosphere of relaxed elegance that reflects the homeowners’ Southern heritage and love of family. The layout of the interior and the ar-chitectural details were carefully considered to support these goals. Several comfortable gathering spaces were created for the family, which are used for different purposes through the seasons. Interior designer Jackye Lanham’s goal was to complement the integrity of the architecture, yet also reflect the personality and Southern roots of the homeowners. This was achieved by featuring the owners’ collection of an-tiques and family heirlooms, and using historical colors and natural fabrics with heavy weaves to work with the period of the architectural inspiration.

Lanham’s signature touches and mastery at the art of the vignette add unique character to the décor. Although great care was taken to reflect the beauty and aesthetic of 18th century American design, the house is also thoroughly reflective of family life in the 21st century. In recognition of the superb quality of the design of the house, D. Stan-ley Dixon Architects received the prestigious Shutze award for excellence in classical architecture for this house, establishing it in a unique place in the architectural legacy of Atlanta.

INTERIOR DESIGNER AMY MORRIS SEAMLESSLY MIXES CLASSIC ANDMODERN IN A VININGS HOUSE WHERE STYLE AND RELAXATION PREVAIL FOR A BUSY FAMILY OF FOUR Blue gray walls in the diningroom provide a sophisticatedbackdrop to a French linenpainted screen from B.D.

or designer Amy Morris, interiors projects begin with inspirationfrom the homeowner. “I design for the client,” says Morris of her approach. “Iedit everything they like and incorporate the things they want.” When she methomeowners Polly and Keith White and their teenage son and daughter, the fam-ily had two requests for outfitting the house for their busy lifestyle: make it comfortable and conducive to entertaining.

“We have an open house policy,” says Polly of their house situated near theChattahoochee River and within walking distance of the local high school. TheWhite’s house is a revolving door for their children’s friends and families from theschool. Morris responded by striking the perfect balance between sophisticatedand relaxed, making the house formal enough for dinner parties, but casualenough for movie nights.

Known for harmonizing classic and contemporary interiors with a twist, Morris set the tone for this home in the entry hall, where fresh pops of blue andgreen mix with herringbone-patterned brick underfoot. “It’s casual elegance,” shesays. “This space is an introduction to the color you see throughout the house.”

“The living room has a formal feeling to it, but it’s young and updated,” saysMorris of the room that’s refined without coming off as too precious, thanks to

F


a playful, graphic floral rug, colorful throw pillows, and a pair of ca-sual benches. Meanwhile, the dining room exudes Southern charm,from the homeowner’s heirloom table and chairs to an antiques-topped sideboard. Morris counterbalanced these traditional toucheswith a soft blue gray on the walls and a chinoiserie-style screen forartful impact.

A more pared-down approach prevails in the family room, whichconnects to the light-filled kitchen. Here, Morris has capitalized onthe need for comfort and low-key elegance in the family’s favoriteroom. “We’ll always end up here watching television,” says Polly. Inkeeping with the home’s traditional style, Morris updated the roomwith celadon lamps, chevron-print throw pillows, and warm, sepia-toned prints and photographs.

Upstairs, the craft room provided another opportunity for Morris

to play with color. The room, which doubles as Polly’s workshop forphotography cataloguing and a homework station for her son andfriends, is painted black to complement the window treatments.“Against the black, the fabric feels more graphic,” says Morris.

In the basement, another high-traffic space, the designer didn’tskimp on high style. The media room’s laidback vibe, created by warmtones, cozy sectionals, and an oversize coffee table perfect for perch-ing your feet, makes it a cozy movie room for family night. One ofthe designer’s favorite style secrets involves using outdoor fabric inbusy rooms, like this one. “I typically use a polyester, which looks likenatural velvet,” she says. It looks great and no one knows.”

Morris’s design philosophy and fuss-free style yielded a beautiful,inviting house that not only reflects the family who lives there, butalso transforms this house into a home. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

THE FAMILY HAD TWO REQUESTS FOR OUTFITTING THE HOUSE FOR THEIR BUSYLIFESTYLE: MAKE IT COMFORTABLE ANDCONDUCIVE TO ENTERTAINING.

“The scale of the room is quitelarge, so I brought in bigger piecesof furniture,” says Morris of the im-pressive chandelier in the masterbedroom, which features sereneSwedish blue and gray-whitetones.

“The CalhounEstate is one ofBuckhead'smost importantexamples ofItalian Baroquearchitectureand is an earlyexample of Neel Reid andPhilip Shutze’smany master-pieces in thisstyle. Thishouse an-nounces thebeginning of Atlanta’s loveaffair with Italian archi-tecture for fashionablehomes of the1920s. In itsoriginal form,the estate wasone of thegrandest properties inthe South.”–William T. Baker


“What an intrepid survivor is this house;still to be standing nearbusy, busy West PacesFerry and not to havebeen replaced by a subdivision, surely suggests divine intervention! Havingreceived part of my architectural educationin the Veneto of Italy, I can offer the notionthat this house for theCalhouns marks a brilliantly seamless, but amazingly evolvedprogression of ItalianBaroque Classicism,connecting the 16th century to the 20th as ifthere had been no intervening centuries.”– Frederick Spitzmiller

“The CalhounEstate is one ofour city’s great-est architecturaltreasures. In acity that is constantlychanging, thishouse has remained basically untouched. The colors, materials anddetails are exquisite. Whileit has grandeur,it remains intimate andfriendly.”— D. Stanley Dixon

“This house is arich, fine, pure example of north-ern Italian revivalarchitecture. Theinteriors arehighly detailed,elaborate and fanciful withstucco over doors,Italian mantels,beautifully designed carved interior wooddoors and mannerist appliqués. Thesefeatures, alongwith the ‘spot on’proportion andscale, give thishouse a very romantic, authentic feelingas if you were innorthern Italyright here in Atlanta. Howmuch fun is that?”— William B. Litchfield


“The Calhoun Estate is a statement about the ability of local architects of the time tocreate a home inspired by Italian villas that also reflected the essence of Southern graciousness. Not only was the house masterfully designed, with proportions that arejust as human and livable today, it was sited with sweeping axial views that perfectlyframed the home on the land.” – William H. Harrison

“The house is a terrific example of relating the architecture with thelandscape by its use of parterregardens in such grandeur, yet allowing for the natural vegetationsurrounding its environs. The Calhoun house is one of the finestexamples of classical architecturein Atlanta (not to mention theSoutheast) and is a great rolemodel for future architects for itstriumphant scale and proportions.”–Robert Norris

73

“The home’s lasting influence can be attributed, aswith any great design, to three simple attributes: Ithas impact. It commands our attention. And it is satisfying, because it has depth and it is memorable.Once experienced, it never leaves us.” –Peter Block

At one end of the familyroom, the fireplace is flankedby doorways leading to apantry and home office.Doors found at Linda Hors-ley Antiques make a uniquestyle statement and were, infact, the springboard for theentire space. “We found thedoors before we did anotherthing in that room,” says designer Beth Ervin.

If designer Beth Ervin could conjure up the perfect clients, theowners of this Brookhaven home would aptly describe them. Theirwarm and welcoming personalities were easy to infuse into the time-less interiors.

“They’re both so unpretentious, and she is one of the sweetest peo-ple you’ll ever meet,” says Ervin. “Everywhere we’d shop, she’d findthe prettiest things. And she knows what she likes.”

That said, one of the things that impressed Ervin most was herclient’s ability to go with the flow. “If a piece of furniture wasn’t avail-able or a fabric was out of stock, she’d say, ‘Don’t worry; we’ll find some-thing else.’ And, invariably, that ‘something else’ would evolve intosomething better than we’d originally planned. It all played right intomy personal mantra: There’s no such thing as a decorating emergency.”

The project started in 2005, when Ervin worked with her clientson the main house. That, in turn, led to the sunroom addition and,

later, a family room, complete with a pair of early 19th-century Frenchdoors still with their original paint. The rustic architectural elementsare perfect examples of how—just when you think you have a handleon this home’s refined aesthetic—you can expect the unexpected.

The color scheme, on the other hand, is consistent. “My client likescolor, but soft and subtle,” says Ervin. “I can’t imagine painting a roomin her house red! Fabrics were, for the most part, Rose Tarlow, withsoft and muted palettes—a vintage feel. And we used old Oushakseverywhere, the exception being the sunroom, where we used a wool-and-cotton woven rug to mix up the textures a little.”

“I feel like I could move right in, and I can’t say that very often.The home reflects their tastes as much as mine,” the designer reflects.“But they particularly love that it’s warm and inviting, and that’s thehighest compliment anyone can give me.”

Perfectly appointed in the same “warm, butnot cluttered” style as the rest of the house,the newly added sunroom is consistent withthe home’s color scheme with tints andshades of cream, blue and taupe. left Thiscorner of the sunroom is all about comfort,but it’s also a study in textures; the tactilemix includes a slate floor, upholstered ot-toman, wooden daybed, wrought ironlamp—even a brick wall, originally part ofthe home’s exterior. opposite, left to rightDesigned by architect Steve McClanahan, a scalloped cornice over a window in thepantry is the perfect counterpoint for thegeometric pattern of the nearby antiquedoors. If the table seems perfectly sized tothe breakfast area, there’s good reason:One that the owners already had, it was cutdown from a round to a square. It pulls upto a new L-shaped banquette with chairsfrom Holland & Company completing theseating.

The undisputed star of thedining room is a painted cup-board found at A. Tyner An-tiques, its darker interior theperfect foil for a collection ofcreamware. A combinationof slipcovered and velvet-up-holstered chairs surround atable from MacRae, the set-ting illuminated by an ornatechandelier from Jane Mars-den Antiques.


The juxtaposition of old andnew is evident throughoutthe home, especially in theliving room, where vintageoil paintings and French an-tiques mingle with a contem-porary cocktail table.


SOFT AND SUBTLE COLOR AND A TACTILE MIX OF MATERIALS MAKES THIS BROOKHAVEN HOME FEEL PARTICULARLY WARM AND INVITING.

left to right A warm marigold wallcovering graces the powderroom, beautifully complemented by bright white marble-toppedcabinetry. Shedding light on the space is a pair of antique Vene-tian sconces from Edgar-Reeves. What was once the formal livingroom is now a more casual study. “My clients wanted to makethis space more livable,” says Ervin. She designed floor-to-ceilingbookcases, creating a niche between the two just big enough fora comfy sofa, then opened up the room by painting the dark pan-eled walls a paler hue—an eye-pleasing contrast to rich velvetdraperies and a treasured secretary.


Most of the pieces in themaster bedroom were foundwhen Ervin and her clientshopped together. “I try totake my time and look for in-dividual pieces for a client,to acquire things one at atime,” says the designer. “Iprefer that people not recog-nize my style, that the housereflects their tastes morethan mine.”

“Besides being beautiful, it’s auseable room,” says Topol ofthe home’s living area, where agenerously sized coffee table isjust as apt to showcase treas-ured collectibles as it is to serveup drinks and hors d’oeurves.“We worked from a palette thatwas easy to live with, and art—like the Tim Murphy piece overthe demilune cabinet—be-comes part of it.” above StanTopol and Reynolds Brown ofStan Topol & Associates repre-sent the firm’s teamwork ap-proach to design. left A stylishCentury desk and MarietteHimes Gomez chair, illuminatedby a pair of dramatic floorlamps, fashion an efficienthome.


Throughout the residence, red-orange accents catapult theotherwise subdued neutralscheme into the stratosphere—apropos for high-rise living. opposite “One of the greatthings about this apartment isthat, with two tables in the din-ing room, you can serve a smalldinner for four or a larger partyof eight, even 12 by having thehotel finish it,” Topol observes.“I love the idea of living thiskind of life. It’s such an easyway to live. And living well isthe best revenge!” He de-scribes the kitchen as a “littlejewel box,” complete with asparkling glass wall that allows more light to filter intothe space.

Classic ReduxIn February of 2011, the Tavistock Group ac-

quired The St. Regis Atlanta Hotel and Resi-

dences, and they haven’t looked back since,

implementing upgrades worthy of the prop-

erty’s prestigious address. Taking the same

tack as Stan Topol & Associates did with their

model, Tavistock has looked to local talent to

implement the changes, says Managing Direc-

tor Douglas McMahon. “It’s a wonderful oppor-

tunity to tip our cap to how talented Atlanta is,

how deep the talent pool is here,” says McMa-

hon, who grew up in Sandy Springs himself.

“Randy Korando and Dan Belman from Box-

woods did all of the landscaping, and we’ve

enhanced the residential lobbies and garages

with Stan Topol’s help. There are new elevator

cabs, tufted-fabric walls in the lobbies and local

artists featured throughout. We’ve even added

new red awnings and red-and-white striped

furniture at the pool and bar. The end result is a

more sophisticated and warm space, more like

a great European hotel; our benchmarks are

neighborhoods like Kensington in London.”

And that’s not all; an exciting new restaurant

will soon call the St. Regis home. “Atlanta is big

but still welcoming,” says McMahon, “we want

to put a smart lens on Southern hospitality.”


The well-appointed master bathis an oasis of luxury. right It’s nocoincidence that this chaise isperfectly sized for a niche in themaster bedroom. One ofTopol’s hard-and-fast rules isthat you must measure reli-giously so there are no sur-prises. opposite The neutralpalette in the master bedroomand throughout the residenceworks beautifully, thanks inlarge part to Topol’s philosophy:He doesn’t blend colors; hematches exactly. “Everybody‘plays’ with color, but we don’tmess with it,” he says. “A neu-tral room quickly becomes bor-ing if the colors are off.”Bedroom floral designs by Jack-son Durham.

When Stan Topol & Associates was asked to design a resi-dential sales model at The St. Regis Atlanta Hotel and Residences, itwas destined to be an extraordinary project. Not only because of thedesign firm’s premiere reputation nor the St. Regis’ prestigious Buck-head address near the crossroads of Atlanta—Peachtree and WestPaces Ferry. It was just as much about the luxurious lifestyle that theproperty affords. Here, where personal service is the order of the day,the goal was to create, in Topol’s words, “a fabulous home in the sky.”

“Our first step was to create the best conceptual floorplan. Wehand-draw and measure each inch to an exact scale,” says Topol. “Indoing so, we were able to make a marvelous master suite with per-sonal space and grand closets, and we created an entrance into thehome with a major foyer. I love homes with a sense of arrival.”

The living room retains its grand scale—Topol and his team cre-ated a comfortable space in which to entertain, as well as another per-sonal space in which to actually live, day in and day out. An entire wallin the kitchen was reconfigured with a sliding glass wall that allowsBuckhead’s skyline views to infiltrate every room. “Although the spaceis just over 4,000 square feet,” Topol says, “you feel as though you are

now in your own private penthouse with the services of a grand hotel.”Working with associate Reynolds Brown, Topol then turned his at-

tention to the overall style. “I’d call it soft contemporary,” he says. “It’sunderstated with just a touch of color, designed in a way that’s easy tolive with. It’s all about comfort—and that is the ultimate luxury.”

Because the St. Regis celebrates the art of living well in Atlanta,Topol made a point of incorporating the best of the city’s resources,too, turning to companies such as Century, Manuel Canovas, HollyHunt and Donghia (represented at the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center), as well as Charles Ray & Associates (at AmericasMart).

“We wanted to put together an Atlanta lifestyle,” he explains, “soit was important for us to use local craftsmen throughout.” Havingcalled on the firm’s friends at Diamond Glass, as well as ConnorWallcovering, Moore Floor Covering, curtain guru Willard Pitt, Mas-don Custom Cabinets and Design Galleria Kitchen & Bath Studio, the reach into the local pool of talent is evident throughout.

“The residences at The St. Regis represent the best in city living,”says Topol. “And we chose to embrace all facets of Atlanta into our design.” SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

Oh, this Arctic

weather! Is Dunwoodyreally a tundra? What didwe do to deserve this?Aren’t we Southerners bychoice and didn’t Al Gorepromise me some globalwarming? I’m thinkingthat there are some polarbears and seals looking tofind a home in my pool.When have we sufferedthis much? Never is my an-swer, and my poor frozenfingers shake as I typeinto my dying laptop.

Luckily, www.cheapcar-ribean.com recently an-swered my call of the wildwith promises of sandybeaches and swim-upbars, all for about 80bucks a night (with airfareincluded, and all the grub

and libations for free). Iquickly winged my waydown to the Riviera Mayafor eight days of bliss.Heaven on a shoestring—and I have the tan toprove it. I am still bitterthat I had to leave.

Of course, there werefriends like my old TVproducer who insistedthat I would be gunneddown or forced into beinga drug mule, but as Ifound myself alone inPlaya Del Carmen shoot-ing a video series, racingup and down the pitch-black streets with a cam-eraman I had met a fewhours earlier looking for acigar emporium, I hootedwith glee. The folks arefriendly and there was not

a Federale in sight. (OK,there were a couple Fed-erales when I tried toscoot through securitywith a bottle of Pellegrinoand some lemons. Mybad.)

Last fall, I had somedesigning to do for myhandbag collection, whichis made in China. So, withthe first fall breeze thatdescended upon us, I de-cided that I would booksome R&R in Hong Kongat the Mission Hill GolfResort. Oh, how sublime!The heat, the beauty andthe tropical paradise ofsouthern China and HongKong—I could barelyspare an hour for designwhen there were pools forswimming and interna-

tional cuisine and shop-ping nirvana on every cor-ner. I did get a ton ofwork done—until the fac-tory slammed the door onme, screaming, “You aredone for 2011! You arenot Fendi!”

Now I am back,swathed in furs and mit-tens, wrapping my dogaround me like a heatingpad. Next month, look outBarcelona. Anyone wantto trade some DeltaSkyMiles? I have a 16-year-old who can cookand clean; she has to…sheis my child. She needs tostay Stateside for school,but I have drunk from thefountain of discounttravel and will not bequenched.
