A TOAST TO
THE BEST
Welcome to our 2019 Best of Design issue! There is no other way we would want to kick off the new year
than by celebrating the incredible design scene here in our beautiful city. From dynamic designers and stunning
showrooms to retail hot spots and a plethora of resources, these pages are filled with all of those that assist in
keeping Atlanta as the Southeast’s epicenter of design. Some of my favorite highlights from this designcentric
issue include “Balancing Act,” which shines a well-deserved spotlight on the handsome faces behind 2 Gays & a
Design; our candid conversation with Vicki Adams Beam of the family-owned Jacqueline Adams Antiques (“Past
Perfect”); and the showstopping abode done up by Pineapple House Interior Design (“Spec-tacular Drama”).
We are also pleased to feature our 2019 Atlanta Faces of Design. Take an inside look at design-industry
leaders—all boasting their own unique style and signature touches.
2018 wrapped with NARI Atlanta’s 26th annual Contractor of the Year Awards Gala (check out snapshots
from the affair in the House Party Atlanta section). Invited guests gathered at W Atlanta - Midtown, which
was outfitted to perfection to mimic that of a
fairy-tale winter wonderland. The evening was
hosted by HGTV personality Chip Wade. We
are proud to feature all the winners within the
pages of this issue.
The beginning of this year has already
kicked off in high gear with January Market at
AmericasMart, where tons of great highlights
included new product introductions, seminars
and panel discussions, networking, and so much
more. ADAC’s Product Launch Showcase did
not disappoint, of course—and there is still
so much to come in the new year: We will be
celebrating Modern Luxury Interiors Atlanta’s
inaugural Real Estate Awards, the magazine’s
fourth anniversary, ASID Design Excellence
Awards, and my husband and I will be
welcoming our first bundle of joy into the world!

Recently, I was at a friend’s house for a gathering with some of my
One of my favorite
nearest and dearest, as well as a few lovely ladies that were new to me. And as we’re vignettes designer
just milling about (OK, one of us was glued to the cheese board) and chatting, Kate Hayes
dreamed up for a
I looked around the room. One friend was an artist; another was launching a LaVista Park home
flooring company; a third was a lighting designer. And it struck me how lucky I

LAUREN FINNEY PHOTO BY ANDREA FREMIOTTI; KATE HAYES PHOTO BY MIKAEL KENNEDY
was to be surrounded by these talented, creative people right here in Atlanta (and
how silly I was for not capitalizing on their stories to share with you—stay tuned
for the next issue to see those come to fruition!).
I always say we have the best of both worlds here in Atlanta, and I mean it,
particularly in the design community. We’re a large, vibrant city with cutting-edge
design and a diverse community, but we retain an often “old-fashioned” way of
doing things (can I get an “Amen!” for kindness and hospitality?). It’s a place where
you might have been going to the same rug vendor as your designer mother or
grandmother before you, or where you know the showroom manager’s kids’ names
and ask after them. Or, if you’re me, where you saved scraps of fabric from a trip to
Lewis & Sheron Textiles to outfit your Barbies.
But it’s not all dripping Spanish moss, genteel accents and toile here, as we
all know—the design business is booming, and transitional and contemporary
styles are really starting to push through. Take, for example, the incredible room
Pineapple House Interior Design did for entertainment mogul Will Packer in our
“Best of Design” feature, jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald’s North Buckhead
home, or designer Kate Hayes’ project that is as much a lesson on color theory and
the psychology of color as it is gorgeous.
Please be sure to congratulate our other “Best of Design” category winners
if you see them out and about—and, please, always remember to submit ideas,
people, places, things and trends you see in Atlanta—including your own projects.
Here’s to making 2019 the best design year in Atlanta yet.

A CUT ABOVE After consistently hearing that interior designers yearned for
a one-stop shop to include fabric and furniture, Fabricut made the wish come true.
And this year, that has translated into a burgeoning section of its business: transitional
pieces, done with eight-way handtied suspension systems. The most appealing part?
They’re completely customizable and made in the United States. On offer are nine
bedframe options, 11 ottomans and poufs, 11 dining chairs, 14 lounge chairs and 13

sofa options, all available in any of the 600-plus graded-in fabrics, included in the base
price of the furniture to make it easy. Fabricut has also opened the entire upholstery
fabric library, making the grand total of available fabrics somewhere north of 11,000
choices. Try out the ever-popular S. Harris mohairs or the Vervain cut-velvets, or walk
on the wild side and take Justina Blakeney’s Inside Out performance fabrics for a spin.
A custom piece—done from start to finish by Fabricut—can be yours in eight to

BALANCING ACT
Partners in business and life, interior designers Jason Dunn and Michael
Peters of 2 Gays & a Design are “fabu-lizing” spaces all across metro
Atlanta. Here’s how they get it done.
By Caroline Perrott
For Jason Dunn and Michael Peters of 2 Gays
& a Design (2gaysdesign.com), mixing
business with pleasure is their personal key to
success in the interiors world. Together, the
pair—they’ve been married for 15 years!—
brings their balanced expertise to a long list of
clients. Of course, we had to get their
exclusive secrets.
WOULD YOU SAY YOU’RE KNOWN FOR A
SPECIFIC AESTHETIC?
JD: Our motto is we spend your money like
it is our own. We are not trying to be that
designer who wants to create a cover page
look; we connect with clients and understand
their needs.
ANY AREAS WHERE YOUR TASTES DIFFER?
JD: Overall, our aesthetic is transitional.
My personal favorite design is seeing
concrete floors, but with a 14th-century
mirror—mixing different styles. I love
walking into a clean room and not
feeling like I am going to get sick of it
in six months.
MP: I like clean lines and a more contemporary
feel. I think that is where we balance each,
working with clients to give them a
transitional feel.

next revamp, let
dynamic duo
Jason Dunn (left)
and Michael
Peters take on
the task.
WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT WORKING
WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER?
MP: The opportunity to be creative with your
spouse. It is so rewarding to create something
together in someone’s home that they are going
to be enjoying for years and years.
JD: My favorite thing is the entire process, start
to finish, with a client. We learn something
new about each other with every client we get.
It is a very emotional process, and we balance
each other out. I tend to want to go out on
a limb with design, and he pulls me back
within reason.
THE MOST CHALLENGING PART?
MP: It is hard to turn it off. We are always
talking about, ‘Oh, this is going great,’ or, ‘Oh,
this is going really bad.’
JD: I agree. We wake up at three in the morning
thinking about all the little details! The hardest
is staying emotionally and mentally healthy.
WHAT IS THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP?
JD: I know it is cliche, but communication is
so important. Don’t let things build up if there
is something frustrating one person or both;
it is important to convey those thoughts and
feelings as you have them.

When Isobel Mills visited Travis &
Company as a young girl, she had
no idea that one day her textiles
would be a part of the lauded brand’s
fine fabrics collection. “Although I
didn’t have the dream of becoming
a fabric designer at the time, I knew
I loved what I saw and wanted to
be a part of that world,” says Mills.
Her passion for textile design and
art stems from her love of ceramics,
and the infinite possibilities that
clay’s malleability provided. Once
she realized that fabric held similar
properties—“fabric, like clay, can be
manipulated in numerous ways, and
I could design and color the material
too,” she says—the Atlanta native’s
business took off, with showroom
representation in New York; Los
Angeles; Austin, Texas; Hollywood,
Fla.; and, of course, Atlanta. Mills
designs her textiles by mixing stylized
structure with an organic flow, using
color to craft a visual texture.
Her textiles are inspired by nature
and art deco, both of which come
together to create a unique and
eye-catching end result. $131 per yard,

Home to crowd-favorite Bar Margot, the hotel’s new and improved design
features a cool-toned color palette ornamented with accents of velvety burgundy
and aged-brass fixtures to build a sophisticated aura of modernity. Gray Davis,
co-principal and co-lead designer at Meyer Davis Studio, describes the new
guest rooms as a “fresh take on urban hotel living.” The rooms, suites and
corridors showcase local artists, and each piece of art tells a slice of Atlanta’s
story, centering around themes such as memory, relics and heritage.
Additionally, the hotel’s fifth-floor terrace now features an expansive lowered
pergola, crafting a lovely outdoor seating area amid Midtown’s towering
skyscrapers. Says Yvette Thomas-Henry, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel
Atlanta, “The renovation is our opportunity to enhance the hotel to meet the
travel trends and expectations of our guests who consider us their second

Pillow Talk
Atlanta-based creatives Renée Bouchon and Beth Lacefield team up to create
a pillow series that your sitting room is craving. –Presley West

The creative collaboration between Atlanta artist Renée Bouchon and artisan designer Beth
Lacefield was a match made in heaven—and at JDouglas. The duo first crossed paths at the
showroom inside AmericasMart, where their respective products were sold during market, and
realized they shared a mutual admiration for one another’s work—and a desire to collaborate. Says
Bouchon, “[Beth] had the opportunity to see my Relics pieces in person and instantly fell in love
with the detail and depth behind each one, and had a vision for translating them into textiles
and pillows—so the collaboration began!” For Bouchon, translating her Relics series—which
she describes as “a melting pot of inspirations and stories that have landed into a beautiful
little creation”—onto textiles with the help of Lacefield’s fabric expertise expanded her
outlook on her artistry. Born out of months of hands-on experimentation in the
Lacefield offices, the limited-edition finished collection features handpainted
and handembellished pillows and fabrics that are truly works of art. Fabrics

BRIGHT LIGHTS
Jonathan Browning’s latest collection is a can’t-miss modern
take on functional architectural home lighting. –PW

With 14 years of experience in manufacturing bronze, brass and steel, Jonathan

Browning has earned a reputation as an industry staple. And while his latest
architectural lighting collection through Jonathan Browning Studios possesses the
same classic style and unmatched detail for which the interior designer is known,
the new collection is unlike anything that he has released in past. Born out of a
desire to bridge a gap in the lighting industry, Browning’s latest collection employs
bronze, brass, lead crystal and handcrafted porcelain to add a modern, elegant spin
to technical, architectural lighting fixtures both within and outside the home,
ranging from waterproof outdoor lights to path lights and everything in between.
The collection—sold exclusively at R Hughes’ showroom in ADAC—features a
unique take on Hollywood-style vanity lighting. Says Browning, “Beautiful vanity
lights are hard to come by, so we designed one that is both glamorous and
modern.” ADAC, Ste. 320, r-hughes.com; jonathanbrowning.com

NICELY NEUTRAL
As designers and homeowners seek serenity and simplification, the challenge to surfacing brands is to find
richness in grayscale. That goal has been accomplished as Benjamin Moore, Porcelanosa and Hastings
have not only achieved the depth mined from earthy hues, but the luscious luxury as well.

By Drew Limsky

COOL CLASSIC SMOKY SELECTION ITALIAN HOMAGE

Benjamin Moore (benjaminmoore.com)
has named its color of the year 2019, and
the winner is… Metropolitan AF-690, an
utterly elegant gray with cool undertones.
“Comforting, composed and effortlessly
sophisticated, Metropolitan AF-690 exudes
beauty and balance,” says Ellen O’Neill,
Benjamin Moore’s director of strategic
design intelligence. “It’s a color in the neutral
spectrum that references a contemplative
state of mind and design.”
Look closer to appreciate the
variations in the XTONE countertop
collection, courtesy of Porcelanosa
(porcelanosa-usa.com). The highly
practical lightweight XTONE material
is created from thin, extra-large slabs
of porcelain that are highly resistant to
water, chemicals and impacts. It is also
fire-, frost- and thermal-resistant. The
nine shades include Raw Smoke, Moon
White, Porto Grey and Aged Clay.
Its name evoking 16th-century Venetian
architecture, the Palladiana handmade tile
line from Hastings (hastingstilebath.com)
represents a collaboration between Italian tile
masters Ceramica Bardelli and Studiopepe.
Palladiana displays a combination of
micropatterns and color nuances brought
together within one porcelain stoneware tile
that’s available in four color families: light
gray, anthracite gray, beige and a polychrome
version featuring pastel hues.

SOTHEBY’S PHOTOS COURTESY OF SOTHEBY’S HOME

“Boom in Antique Furniture Driven by Environmentally Conscious
Millennials Who Are Rejecting ‘Fast Furniture’,” read a headline from
London’s The Telegraph newspaper. The shocking story went viral on
Instagram among the interior-design community I loyally follow. But it’s
true: Millennials Google everything and, as a result, are savvy shoppers
who know the difference between Ikea and artisan-made. Now,
auction houses are catering to this younger generation. Last year,
Sotheby’s launched sothebyshome.com, a consignment marketplace
that connects collectors and design lovers in an approachable new
platform to buy furniture, art and home decor from showrooms, dealers,
interior designers and private individuals. “At Sotheby’s auction house, the
average age of a client is typically in their 50s or 60s,” says Elizabeth Brown,
CEO of Sotheby’s Home. “For us at Sotheby’s Home, we have noticed anecdotally
that there are a lot of younger consumers purchasing antiques. Last week,
a woman in her early 30s was our [biggest buyer].” –Sarah Bray

MODERN ROSE
After the recent design shows and markets, it’s safe to say
minimalism is on its way out. One of the maximalist trends
we can’t get enough of is the resurgence of English country,
and who better to take it on than leading British wallpaper
brand Cole & Son? Its new collection, Botanical Botanica, was
inspired by “the innate beauty of nature and the magical allure
of its transformation through the year,” says Carley Bean, head
of design, who spearheaded the hand-drawn and handpainted
to-scale designs. “Botanical Botanica is our ode to nature.” Based
on English country garden staples such as sweet pea, bluebell,
thistle, lilac and rose, each of the 15 designs pays homage to one
of the four seasons—incorporating bold motifs such as roses and
large-scale fern fronds, and unexpected color pairings to give the
classic florals a modern edge. To the trade, Lee Jofa, ADAC, Ste.

PERSONAL
EXPRESSION
Architect and designer Antonio Citterio, renowned for his work for
Bulgari and Flexform, sheds light on his professional journey.
By Drew Limsky
Architect, furniture designer and industrial
designer Antonio Citterio (citterio-viel.com)
is the first to point out his curious, self-
directed professional journey. And his
candor is disarming. “I started doing this
when I was 13 years old,” says the Milanese
master. “I never worked for another office.
I started myself. Maybe it’s a mistake not
being influenced by other artists.”
“My father had a little factory to
produce furniture, and I just knew when
I was really young that I wanted to do art
and design,” he continues. He marks the
career milestones: winning his first design
competition at 18, opening his practice at
20, working for B&B Italia early on with the
62

L I V I N G I N AT L A N TA
people
legendary Gio Ponti. “It took years for me to
understand his stature,” Citterio says. “But
at the end of the day that’s my life.”
Citterio explains that he became
a designer “because nobody believed I
could do architecture.” Of course, that
changed and the inexhaustible workhorse,
who has had a staggering creative output
(clients include Vitra, Flos, Hermès
and Technogym), shifts easily between
disciplines.
This year he’s unveiling a new collection
for Flexform (flexform.it), even as he remains
immersed in the details of Arte Surfside
(artesurfside.com), an exclusive 16-residence
building he’s creating in collaboration with

Kobi Karp. The moment brings together the
established and the new: Citterio has been the
visionary behind the Flexform brand for 40 years,
while Arte represents Citterio’s very first built
project in the U.S.
Stacked balconies—ubiquitous in Miami—
were not on Citterio’s mind for Arte Surfside. “My
first thought was: ‘I don’t want to do layers. I have
to find a solution in order not to do repetition of a
facade,’” he says. His aversion to layering resulted
in a skeletal pear shape that somehow manages to
be light and elegant. The midrise structure recalls
Louis Poulsen’s iconic PH Artichoke chandelier
(turned on its head) or an art deco version of
a pagoda.
Whatever references Arte brings to mind,
the edifice is in keeping with Citterio’s dismissive
take on styles. “I don’t like minimalist,” he says.
“I like reduction and synthesis.” Minimalism, the
architect explains, is the same as baroque in its
purpose to impress. Better, he implies, to create
work that is meant to be enjoyed.

An agreed-upon
minimalist palette in the
living space with pops of
color makes the home
of Christopher Confero
and Gabe Hilliard shine.

HIGH ON STYLE
An event planner extraordinaire and his partner work with a Charleston-
based interior designer to create a fabulous Midtown abode.
By Lia Picard // Photography by Willett Photography

When Christopher Confero, event planner and founder of Confero (christopherconfero.com), and his
partner, Gabe Hilliard, moved into Midtown’s Mayfair Tower, they knew they wanted to make it a
place of their own. The one-bedroom, two-bathroom condo is the couple’s first home together, and,
in such an elegant setting, it deserved to be celebrated with decor that perfectly matched their style.
They brought Charleston-based interior designer Matthew Monroe Bees (matthewmonroebees.com)
on board to make their dream a reality. For Bees, it was a balancing act between Confero’s and
Hilliard’s preferred color palettes. “People always assume, because of my events, continued…

...continued that my house is going to be loud,”

laughs Confero. But he wanted a mature, urban
aesthetic, while Hilliard wanted something more
vibrant. “My solution was minimal color in the
public spaces with lots of patterns and small pops
of color woven throughout,” says Bees.
The dining room and living room are a shared
space defined by seagrass rugs and separate furniture
groupings. The dining room table, an English
antique, gives the room a mature vibe Confero was
looking for while also adding weight. It’s juxtaposed
by Philippe Starck ghost chairs. At first glance, it
seems that the floral wallpaper consists of roses, but
it was designed by a friend and has “Easter eggs”
hidden throughout, like Confero’s logo; and apples
paying homage to Confero’s time in New York.
The bedroom, Bees says, is where Hilliard got
his color fix, evoking the feeling of a lodge: “The
deep green really gives the black-and-white fabrics
a little more push that allows them to feel warmer
than they do in the public spaces.” Making
playful nods to both dwellers are a horse motif
and Benjamin Franklin bust. The horse, Bees
says, is Confero’s spirit animal, while Hilliard is
a history buff.
Surprisingly, the sweetest continued…

...continued detail in the home is found in

the bathroom, where Hilliard handpainted a
mural. He’s not an artist by trade, but was
able to flex his creative chops in this space
where he created something personal for him
and Confero. The colorful, bold butterfly and
flower pattern also has hidden treasures for
the keen eye to find, like daisies, symbolic of
a friend; and bees as a tribute to their designer.
“It was definitely a labor of love,” says Confero.
“He’s very proud of it, and I’m proud of him
for doing it.”

CHRIS J.
DAVIS
OW NER AN D FOUNDER OF KBD DEVELOPMENT LLC
What does KBD stand for? It’s the initials of my mother, Kathy Biggs Davis.
Unfortunately, she passed away unexpectedly in 2009. Seeing firsthand how short
life can be, I reevaluated what I wanted to do in my career, so I took the leap to
start this business. A little part of me always wanted to be in high-end residential
so I was inspired to take the risk. It seemed fitting to name the company after her.
Prior to KBD, what experience did you have in the field of construction? My
education is in Civil Engineering and I cut my teeth in commercial construction
working in operations on several projects ranging from high rise condos in Buckhead
to a hospital on Pill Hill, a bascule draw bridge in Miami, private education facilities
and high-end beach condos in Sea Island.
What sets KBD apart? The business has evolved into a two-pronged structure
consisting of custom home building and real estate development. For the custom
home building, my team and I focus primarily on high-end, single family custom
and speculative homes. We build mostly in the Morningside, Decatur, Buckhead,
Brookhaven and Sandy Springs areas, but our footprint continues to expand. If
possible, we like to be involved from the very beginning, ideally even before the
lot is purchased. This is helpful because besides the obvious visual evaluation,
equally important are the zoning, arborist and other building regulations which
can all differ depending on you municipality. These factors will all play a vital role
in the viability and functionality of the lot. Having a design background, I also like
to be involved during the architectural design stages because making the right
decision in this phase can have a major impact on being able to accommodate a
client’s budget. The second part of the business structure is focused on residential
real estate development projects. There really aren’t many great options for new
construction lots, especially intown. So as a builder and developer, we look for
WHEN YOU BU IL D A CUSTOM HOME, IT’S AN
EVERYDAY RE L ATIONSHIP THAT LASTS FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS SO YOU REALLY HAVE
TO BE IN LOC KSTEP WITH YOUR CLIENT’S
VISION, AS IT’ S TRULY A COLLABORATION.
opportunities to create new construction subdivisions or townhome communities.
Because our expertise and background are in the high-end custom home realm,
we take the same approach to our developments.
What has been your secret to success thus far? It’s mostly just listening to clients
and being responsive. When you build a custom home, it’s an everyday relationship
that lasts for several months so you really have to be in lockstep with your client’s
vision, as it’s truly a collaboration. The lines of communication are critical to the
project’s success, so we use the latest project management software to keep
everyone, including the client, project manager, architect, interior designer and
sub-contractors simultaneously up to date on schedules, selections, budgets etc.
in real time via an app on your phone.
What future plans are you most excited about right now? I’m really enjoying
working on two new development projects that will become available to home
owners later this year. The first is Ivy Ridge, an 8-lot subdivision of luxury custom
residences on a cul-de-sac in a perfect location in North Buckhead. The other project
is Fourteen Park Place in the Historic Downtown Garden District of Alpharetta. The
city has really transformed that area into an absolute destination. We are building
14 townhomes downtown about a block and a half from the restaurants and shops.
True to our background, they were designed from a high-end custom perspective
and have everything that you could ask for...3 car garages, large rooftop terraces,
ground level entry, elevators, etc.

SAVE THE
CORAL
Pantone’s color of the year is Living Coral,
an increasingly rare shade of pink to see
in its natural habitat. By Sarah Bray

At High Point Market, I found believe it when I read that the

myself at a dinner seated next to
some of the nation’s most notable
interior designers. To kick things off,
the host of the evening, One Kings
Lane President Debbie Propst, asked
us to go around and predict the
“it” color for the coming year. Over
Millennial Pink, but still seeing the
world through rose-colored glasses, I
said coral. And, much to my surprise,
so did many of the table’s plugged-in
aesthetes, including Mark D. Sikes,
Amanda Lindroth, Benjamin and

Suzanne Kasler. Fast-forward to just
before the new year, and I couldn’t
Pantone Color Institute announced
the shade, which it named Living
Coral, as its color of the year. “In
its glorious yet unfortunately more
elusive display beneath the sea, this
vivifying and effervescent color
mesmerizes the eye and mind,” says
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director
of the Pantone Color Institute. A
reminder that this oceanic hue, which
used to saturate our Earth’s most
valuable and threatened ecosystem
(half of the Great Barrier Reef has
died since 2016), is a rare beauty that
all who admire should consciously
try to protect.

Got a Light
What started over 30 years ago in South Florida as a crystal chandelier
lighting showroom has evolved into one of the most respected chandelier
businesses in the Southeast. “After having representation for over 15 years at
ADAC through Smith Grubbs, we felt it was time to control our own
representation of our line, as well as represent other lighting manufacturers,
both domestic and imported,” says Myran Allan co-owner Rene Cardena.
Expect chic chandeliers, but also contemporary styles as well, with the option,
of course, of creating your own custom crystal lighting piece. The
2,300-square-foot space will have an eclectic array of furniture, accessories,
mirrors and art up for grabs as well. Ste. 420, myranallan.com

mirrored images used for psychoanalytic assessment—
could equally be considered works of art as much as
diagnostic tools. Which makes the Rorschach-inspired
Porter Teleo wallpaper lining the living room of this
LaVista Park residence the perfect backdrop for a
homeowner with an extensive collection of art, who
also happens to have a PhD in psychology.
“It’s a very well-done modern home, but I wanted to give it some life,”
says designer Kate Hayes, who was tasked with transforming the “white box”
construction into a vibrant setting with its own voice. “It was a tricky balance,”
she admits. “We wanted to bring in color, but not be such a departure from the
modernist essence of the house, and not take away from his fabulous art either.”

collection of artwork from Marche
Aux Puces in Paris dots the walls.
So she chose pieces from the likes of Roy Lichtenstein and Alexander Calder. The
result is an engaging, anti-traditional space that mimics the art collection it houses:
carefully curated, but eclectic.
“Like any good art collector, he has very broad taste. He has more traditional
late-1800s pieces from France, but he also loves modern art,” the designer explains.
“I wanted the furnishings to also feel like his collection: a broad range of taste that
is brought together smoothly.” See the living room, where a midcentury-modern
Barcelona couch and Paul Evans Cityscape cocktail table mingle with 1940s French
bergère chairs. Or the entryway, where an exuberant Fornasetti for Cole & Son
wallpaper offsets an antique console. In the dining room, the walls were lacquered
golden yellow using Hollandlac Fine Paints of Europe enamel, providing a striking
background for a vintage George Nelson credenza and Florence Knoll table. “It was
a beast to contend with; they seriously did maybe nine coats,” Hayes says of the
deep-hued wall. “But the client had a more neutral palette of dining furniture, and
it made it feel so much livelier, like he could have a cocktail party at any minute!”

JEWELRY AND HOME DESIGNER KIMBERLY
MCDONALD MAKES A TRIUMPHANT—AND
BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED—RETURN TO ATLANTA.

By Lauren Finney // Photography by Sarah Dorio

Kimberly McDonald is best known for her jewelry line, which celebrated 10
years of business in 2018, but those in the know might also be familiar with
her home decor. The same natural elements—“I love this juxtaposition of
something rough and something fine,” she says—that are the cornerstones
of her jewelry come into play in her homewares lines. And what better place
to show off her stunning sense of style than her new Atlanta home base.
“I actually lived in Atlanta before and right after college,” says the
North Carolina native who splits time between Los Angeles, New York
City and now her third adopted city. “I was here for seven or eight years.
I loved living here; my godchildren are here. I really missed being on the
East Coast, and it’s nice to have so much space.”
Her entree into home decor started about five years ago. “We found
this guy who works with the space program who helped us preserve crystals
by putting them in Lucite. Irregular shapes like crystals don’t bond with
that material, so he developed this sonic technology to pull it off, and it
amplified the crystals,” she says. From there, it was a rocket launch into
an astounding array of home goods. Paperweights, serving trays, boxes
and bookends eventually led to lighting and, “three years ago, we started
with wallpaper,” says McDonald. “We partner with Phyllis Morris and
Circa Wallcovering in Beverly Hills. And about two years ago, we began
partnering with Marc Phillips out of New York on our beautiful carpets.”
It’s all evidenced right here in McDonald’s renovated Buckhead home,
where her taste and affinity for the natural is front and center from the
moment you walk through the iron doors into her wallpapered entryway.

Agate- and geode-inspired wallpapers—including a

custom single-slab interpretation behind her master bed—
dot the home, but it never feels overwhelming. The living
room and closet are done in Benjamin Moore’s Charcoal
Slate, giving the eye a break while reinforcing the jewel-
box look. It’s all very Los Angeles, which makes sense,
as McDonald has a store and a home there and has been
heavily influenced by the city.
“Part of what I love about living in Los Angeles is
that the spaces are open,” she notes. “I wanted to bring
that feeling here. When we were looking at houses, most
of what I saw seemed chopped up. I like big, open space.”
That meant taking an outdated layout and updating
it to be uniquely hers—which wasn’t without headache.
McDonald quickly discovered that her aesthetic wasn’t
easily achieved here in Atlanta, and it took several turns
with different vendors and contractors to pull off the
renovation, which mostly took place on
the main floor of the home.
“What I found was that a lot of
people, because I was doing different
things, were just ‘yes-ing’ me and didn’t
necessarily know how to do what I
was asking, or weren’t willing to give
professional feedback,” she says. But enter
Custom Quality Flooring’s Stacey Bailey,
with whom McDonald really vibed. “He
went above and beyond,” she says. “One of
the things I’ve learned as a jeweler is that
if someone came to me to make a piece
of jewelry, they could tell me what they
wanted. But, as the expert, I have to give
them the feedback of, ‘I understand what
you want, but, realistically, these are the
things we need to do’; or ‘If you want this,
you can’t have this.’ Stacey was like, ‘I got
you; no one does this kind of floor. It’s a
pain in the neck, but this is how we have
to do it if you want it.’”
For McDonald, that was all she
needed to hear. “He gained so much
respect from me because he was confident

 enough to speak up about his expertise, and we were
able to create something unique.” Craftsperson to
craftsperson, the two connected, and the result is a
spectacular two-step multicolor preparation.
While most of the rooms have touch points of
McDonald’s signature relaxed, natural, glam style, it’s
the master suite that really produces an audible gasp.
Taking an unused front room, she converted it into a
shoe closet, complete with a fireplace.
“Most women would agree it’s really difficult to
get dressed when you can’t find everything and you
can’t see everything,” McDonald laughs. “I lived in
New York City for 10 years in a tiny apartment. I
wanted to be able to see everything, rotate things and
not just have them sitting in a box somewhere.” Her
talent for display—important in her merchandising—
is in full force in the shoe closet. “I love shoes, all kinds
of shoes, and I just thought it should be a space where
I can sit back there; we can make a margarita and put
the fire on; and be surrounded in a space with the
things that make you feel good.”
If that wasn’t enough, a serious gut renovation
went down in the master bathroom to make it an

they were okay with me having
it done by someone else. So we
had it handcut in Europe.” Glass
partitions, satin gold fixtures
and gleaming white f loor
tiles complete the Hollywood
Regency look.
Not everything was brought
in from around the world; there
are several Atlanta touches
throughout, most notably pieces
from 14th Street Antiques &
Modern Home (“I have Ken
on speed dial!” McDonald
laughs.) and Bungalow Classic.
And, tucked away in a corner
are two Eastern-inspired chairs
McDonald actually purchased
from a store on Cheshire Bridge
Road during her first stint in
Atlanta. They’ve since followed
her around the country and
were the catalyst for a lot of
Eastern influences that can be
found throughout the home.
McDona ld has gotten
requests for her interior design
skills to be put to use, and
she’s open to doing more. For
now, she’s focused on running
her business, which, by the
way, counts Michelle Obama,
Cameron Diaz and Melissa
McCarthy as fans—Cookie
Lyon, Ta raji P. Henson’s
character on Empire, even had
her living room decked out in
Kimberly McDonald textiles
and decor. For someone who
is constantly on the move,
it’s important to her to have a
centering, grounding place in
Atlanta. “I design what I think
I’d want if I wasn’t me, if I was a
customer. I think that as beings,
we’re much more affected by the
things we see than we realize—
even things we see peripherally.
Things create an energy that you
carry with you, and I wanted a
space that was beautiful and
had elements of my brand. I
think it’s important to surround
yourself with things you love.
Material things are not the most
important things, but what you
see every day is part of your life
experience.”

the hip, young New Yorkers purchased this
brand-new spec house in Buckhead. While
the traditional-style home offered tons of
potential—think an ideal locale easily accessible
to Midtown and Downtown; a modern, open floor plan to
accommodate everyday living and entertaining; and a large, acre-
plus lot—the overall aesthetic was lacking in personality and didn’t
adequately portray the couple’s refined yet adventurous design vibe.
In stepped the talented designers from Pineapple House
Interior Design, enlisted to bring the 5,560-square-foot, five-
bedroom residence more in line with the couple’s tastes, which
include ample spaces for entertaining and plenty of room to
eventually start a family. The result? A formerly blank canvas
that has been transformed into a custom masterpiece evoking
sophisticated yet edgy environs rife with bold, contrasting
colors like midnight black and snow white set against rich, dark
hardwood flooring, along with new lighting, wallpaper, window
treatments, artwork and other upscale finishes to harmonize
with the homeowners’ existing furniture.
Along the way, the American Society of Interior Designers
lauded the home with a 2018 Gold Design Excellence Award

in the residences between 3,000 to 7,000 square feet category.

Among the highlights leading to the recognition: a front-sitting
parlor highlighted by an inviting conversation area sporting a
painted white-brick fireplace flanked by four oversize swivel
chairs upholstered in taupe mohair (ideal for conversation and
entertaining), along with a dining area that imparts both drama
and depth via moody black walls paired with stark whites and
pops of brass and neutral, a high chair rail, a table that seats
10 and an artistic wallpapered ceiling crafted by Virginia artist
Lindsay Cowles. Meanwhile, the main living room showcases
a custom, large-scale black, white and pink art piece created by
Chad’s best friend, local artist Jeremy Brown (along with new
built-in cabinets, wallpaper and mantle); and a mosaic and simple
grass-cloth wallpaper takes the formerly all-white kitchen to a
whole other level.
Among the Trolines’ favorite features when all was said
and done? They both love the large, flowing kitchen and living
room space that’s great for entertaining, while Chad’s most
treasured space is a screened indoor-outdoor porch just off the
kitchen (another perfect spot for charming guests), and Heather
is enamored by the dining room with its ceiling clad in bold,
abstract wallpaper (a huge hit with visitors, she says).
“We take inspiration from our clients and set out to turn it
into something beyond their imaginations,” says Amber Gizzi,
Pineapple House co-owner. “Chad and Heather had previously
lived in Manhattan, and they wanted a well-designed home that
would stand out and impress; they wanted the ‘wow’ factor. Our
team absolutely loved the chance to show off our edgier side and
transform the client’s ideas into one cohesive plan.”

your 2019 designs the best ever.

 BEST OVERALL DESIGN FIRM
Pineapple House Interior Design
(190 Ottley Drive NE, pineapplehouse.com)

When producer and entertainment mogul Will

Packer and his wife, Heather, needed a VIP
lounge where they could relax and collaborate
with celebrities and industry insiders, they knew
to call on Pineapple House Interior Design.
Zach Azpeitia, ASID Allied; Kari Mears, ASID
Allied; and Victoria Askin took on the challenge
to create an environment that’s equal parts
relaxing and glamorous. The entire lower level
of the home is dedicated to entertainment,
complete with a theater room, VIP lounge,
dance floor, DJ booth with laser lights and fog
machine, full-service kitchen and bar, wine cellar,
and mini salon and styling room. Pineapple

House Interior Design has once again proven

that no matter the caliber of client—and, in this
case, it’s high—it can pull off high function and
high style.
BEST SCANDINAVIAN STYLE
BoConcept
(309 E. Paces Ferry Road NE, Ste. 150, boconcept.com)

Danish brand BoConcept has been around since the 1950s, but
only recently arrived in Atlanta in the last few years—thanks in part
to the high demand of Danish design as our city embraces more
contemporary styles. At the Buckhead outpost, a team of talented
designers creates pieces like this Vancouver dining table ($2,569)—
shown here with an oak tabletop, which can also be done up in a
walnut finish with optional leaves for bigger parties—that are
stylish, timeless and built to last.

HanStone Quartz
(multiple locations, hanstonequartz.com)

Thanks to designer and contractor Vykintas Genys, this

Midtown penthouse bathroom featuring HanStone Quartz
product is a modernist’s dream. “I chose a see-through
decorative block wall between the bathroom and master
bedroom to create a clean, elegant and sophisticated
design,” says Genys. “I like floating sinks and thought that this
look is what would make the basket-weave wall look like
an art piece.” Those sinks, against HanStone’s Aramis tile,
really pop. “To add functionality, I designed storage drawer
cabinets under the vanity counter to create a shelf for towels
and other things we don’t want to exhibit.” A free-standing
tub, a sauna and an intelligent toilet from Kohler round out
this very complex—but rewarding—master bathroom.

 CASSANDRA BUCKALEW
Cassandra Buckalew Interiors is driven by visual storytelling and bespoke design. Focusing on both
residential and commercial design, creating designs that are both individual and experiential guides the
process. In residential projects, the focus becomes you. How do you live your daily life? What inspires
you? What are you collecting or reading? Where have you traveled? What are your hobbies? We
concentrate on creating spaces that uniquely reflect you, where you’re going, where you’ve
been, and who you want to become. In commercial projects, we focus on your brand,
your products and your buyer. Who is the demographic we need to design for? Is it a
certain age group, a certain gender, or do we need to cast a wider net to capture a
larger target audience? Creating a project that is memorable, experiential, and tells
your brand’s story, is the guiding principle. Considering both functionality and
aesthetics, from initial research and conceptualizing, to sketches, drawings,
finishes, and construction, we are involved in the entire process. Let’s begin
the journey of envisioning, designing, and building your dream, together.

“Where some designers survey an empty room and see a blank slate, Sandie Mazzi sees a hidden
narrative. Hers is an all-encompassing vision that takes into account the character of the place, its
environment and the personalities that reside there.

After graduating with a major in Architecture from Columbia University and a degree in Interior
Design from Parsons School for Design, Mazzi earned her Masters in Florence, Italy. It
was there, amongst the rich textiles and architectural landscape that spoke volumes
about the country’s history that she gained an appreciation for how design informs
the environment and the people who engage with it. Her experience working for
prominent firms such as Christopher Maya Inc and Interior Architects in New York
broadened her scope as a designer; offering access to a range of projects and
a varied take on the traditional home. Her designs take cue from the past
while remaining true to the contemporary sensibilities of the client, meshing
function and balance with modest embellishments. Mazzi also owns Mazzi

NEXT STOP, SANTA FE

Sherwin-Williams’ 2019 color of the year is Cavern Clay (SW 7701), a warm terra cotta that evokes the smooth sand of the Southwest while
also traveling back to the ’70s—in a good way. “We believe 2019 will be a renaissance of the 1970s, but with a twist,” says Sue Wadden, director
of color marketing for the lauded paint brand. Stumped on what to pair it with? Sherwin-Williams offers up several key color combination
suggestions in shades of blue, green and greige to help offset the strength of such a natural color. Pair it with Southwestern accents to go for broke,
or make it modern against crisp white. Any way you paint it, it’s sure to be striking. Multiple locations, sherwin-williams.com –Annie Cohen

Stylist Shaye
Strager in her new
styling studio,
designed by
California Closets

CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL
Stylist Shaye Strager partners up with California Closets for a styling studio that works all its angles.

By Caroline Perrott

Atlanta stylist Shaye Strager’s swank contemporary styling studio resembles
a well-curated museum—featuring a perfectly manicured wall of shoes and
bespoke gowns that float far above the floor. The ease of the space is evident,
but Strager says it hasn’t always been this way. “This room was an unfinished
woodworking room,” she notes. “I saved money for years because
I wanted a showroom for all the one-of-a-kind pieces I
collected during my 20-year career [as a stylist].”
The functionality of the beautifully renovated
space is the result of the masterful eye of
Carmin Francisco, designer for Atlanta-based
California Closets. “We made the space feel
like we thought about every corner—and
we did! It is a simple layout, but it is very
specific just to Shaye,” says Francisco. That
included floor-length gowns. Strager says,
Francisco says, “Shaye really needed to have the display; she had specific
needs for her styling stock of designers and one-of-a-kinds. We ended up
doing a floor-to-ceiling system in a very simple style,” made superluxe by
“our brand-new finishes, our gold and classic linen, but in a thicker material
than average for a more substantial feel.” The trust was ingrained
(California Closets was responsible for Strager’s master-
bedroom closet), and Strager even left the country for
most of the renovation. “I wasn’t even there when it
all came in—that is the trust I had in California
Closets. Clients are counting on them to make a
difference in their lives, and make it quickly.”
While Strager is extremely happy in her
new styling studio—saying, “it helps give
me credibility, a showcase for my styling
inventory and a stylish home for my one-of-

ALL IN

Mother-daughter duo Angela
Marseille and Savannah Denham
use their organizing skills to
transform everyday spaces into
flawless surroundings.
By Kelsie Allen Barton
Photography by Elle Wood

There’s nothing like packing for a big move

to make you realize the importance of being
organized. “Our business idea stemmed
from our own personal experiences while
moving homes and dealing with downsizing
years of life’s collectibles. We wanted to
share the satisfaction we received when
we learned less is truly more,” says Angela
Marseille, who, together with her daughter,
Savannah Denham, recently launched local

Denham put their company Methodical Muses. “I grew up
organizing skills—
and good taste—to watching my mother breathe her creativity
good use with into our home,” adds Denham, a University
Methodical Muses.
of Georgia graduate. “I have always been
fascinated with the details of spatial design.”
Through Methodical Muses, the two
are able to share their passion for elevated,
photo shoot-ready interiors that prioritize
both aesthetic and function. “For us, the
organization process comes very natural and
is a canvas for our creativity. There’s nothing
more rewarding than the ‘before and after,’”
Marseille says. That creative vision is evident
in their eye-catching, Instagram-worthy
projects, from color-coordinated medicine
cabinets to fridges stocked with a rainbow
of fresh fruits and veggies. But the duo
admits that bookshelves and shoe shelves
are their sweet spot. “We love styling and
color-coding books; it’s basically a hobby
of ours at this point,” Marseille says with a
laugh. “As for the shoes—let’s just say our
ultimate client would be Carrie Bradshaw.”
For the fashionable women, a strong
sense of personal style and admiration
for icons like Coco Chanel and Karl
Lagerfeld certainly influence every
vignette they tackle. Says Marseille,
“Whether it’s coveralls or couture, I
love to put my personal spin on it. I
treat our projects the same way.” $150

 DRESSED: Colour in
(e)motion
The Tabernacle Atlanta
September 20, 2018
What does color mean to us? Certainly, they each have
their connotations, but how heavily do we tie them to
certain emotions or actions? Is green symbolic of verdant
growth, or is it jealousy? Is red passionate anger, or is it
passionate love? Or can those symbols be morphed
outside of traditional expectation?

Our design teams explored this precise theme in IIDA’s

2018 Fashion show, called Dressed: colour in
(e)motion. Each team was assigned a color, a verb, and an
emotion to inspire their garments, which are made almost
exclusively of interior building materials.  The outcome of
their months of work yielded beautiful and thought
provoking results, ranging from a sultry flamenco
influenced garment in red to a peppy blue goddess who
slayed the crowd.

Mark your calendar for early fall to see what sartorial magic

these wildly creative teams of designers come up with in

Several years ago, USGBC and AIA Atlanta
initiated a singular holiday event for their
members, and as momentum grew, several
additional industry related associations joined
in hosting the effort. Red & Green Scene has
now grown to include members from ASHRAE,
ASID, CSI and IIDA, in addition to its two
founding associations. More than 450
attendees enjoyed an exciting evening of
fellowship, delectable deserts, cocktails and
dancing to the sounds of DJ Yvonne Monet. The
lively atmosphere was all for a good cause:
collecting toys for Toys for Tots. It is the single

Chesa el Toula using traditional Engadine architectural elements, which have been recently updated with

snowcapped peaks in the winter and ruby-tinged cliffs the rest
of the year. Composed of small private neighborhoods planted
in a rugged expanse of the Heber Valley in northern Utah, Red
Ledges (homes from $1.2 million, redledges.com) currently
offers more than 110 properties with access to golf, tennis,
skiing and an equestrian center. Spread over 2,000 acres, home
designs range from smaller cottages along the golf course to
larger, more isolated mountain-modern and Craftsman-style
homes at the Mountainside. That, and it’s only minutes from

PLAYA CONCHAL, COSTA RICA
Living happily between tropical beaches and a lush rainforest,
Reserva Conchal (reservaconchal.com) offers condos and
complete homes distributed through multiple neighborhoods—
all with access to the Beach Club, gourmet dining, a spa and a
fitness center. Town homes start at around $629,000, with
condos opening at $460,000. The property’s prime highlight is
the Robert Trent Jones II-designed championship golf course.
Along the rainforest’s borders, every hole brings encounters with
iguanas, frogs, alligators and howler monkeys.

Interiors Atlanta partnered with NARI Atlanta for the
26th annual Contractor of the Year awards
presented by Subzero/Wolf/Cove. The Winter
White Gala, hosted by W Hotel Midtown, began
with a cocktail reception courtesy of Marvin
Windows and Doors. Guests sipped Marvin Mules
and Marvin Manhattans while enjoying
entertainment by Yvonne Monet. PMC’s photo
booth captured stills from the buzzing atmosphere.
After cocktails and light bites, guests were
transported to a winter wonderland with enchanting
florals by FH Floral Design. The winter-inspired
menu and festive music added to the event’s overall
Innovative Construction, Inc and emcee Chip Wade
ambience. When it came time for the highly-
anticipated award ceremony, guest emcee Chip
Wade, presented each winner with a custom award
by Levantina. Following the ceremony, guests were
surprised with a Sweets and Champagne
Celebration. The Off-Centered Project donned a
delightful, winter-themed champagne skirt, and
Bean in the Borough served up delicious holiday
espresso drinks. Joel Rabe of Lethal Rhythms kept
the entire crowd dancing as they enjoyed bite-sized
cheesecakes courtesy of Say Cheesecakes and
delicious chocolates by Cirque Confections. Thank
you to all who made the 26th annual CotY awards

YOUR HOPE
Your immune system may be the key to beating cancer.
lmmunotherapy, a new approach to cancer treatment, is bringing hope
to cancer survivors everywhere. lmmunotherapy works by empowering
your body’s own immune system to correctly identify and eradicate
cancer cells. This approach has been used to effectively fight many
types of cancer, with new research leading to greater hope each day.

Brooklyn studio, which is
also home to his collection
of more than 50 live birds
“
I just caught the bug early on,” says acclaimed artist Hunt Slonem. “I was in second
grade: We had to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up, [and]
I drew of a picture of myself standing in front of an easel painting.”
And what a blessing it has been for the creative force, celebrated for his series of
bunnies, butterflies and tropical birds spotted not only in the chicest homes around
the globe, but also in the permanent collections of 250 museums around the world, including
the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the
Whitney, the Joan Miró Foundation and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Slonem moved to
Manhattan in 1973, started showing at age 24 and has been highly prolific ever since, with TEW
Galleries as his representation in Atlanta.
Today, Slonem’s work ranges from his iconic paintings to large-scale works and sculpture
installations (think Bryant Park Grill’s massive 6-by-86-foot mural of birds). But the artist’s grandest
passion is the preservation of neglected historic estates—all filled with his menageries of beautiful
birds and creatures, of course. Landmarks he has lovingly restored include Cordts Mansion in
Kingston, N.Y.; the Lakeside and Albania plantations in Louisiana; and the Scranton Armory (the
subject of his latest book published this fall, Gatekeeper: World of Folly ($85, Assouline), which will
be available at TEW Galleries, among other books he’s published). His latest project is Belle Terre in
South Kortright, N.Y. “I just love filling the houses up and playing with color, constantly reorganizing
and redeveloping rooms,” he says of his devotion to these old-world architectural treasures. “The
environments artists create are really worthy of saving and having people observe. It’s just remarkable
in this age of beige and boredom and horror shows in white, that these kind of magnificent, exalted
places exist.” 425 Peachtree Hills Ave., Ste. 24, tewgalleries.com; huntslonem.com
