As a former New York city girl my next statement might seem a bit out of place but there is something very appealing to me about Southern decor. More specifically, Southern decor that is not overtly formal in style. What I love are the Southern rooms that could sit nestled amongst magnolia trees on heavy, late summer afternoons. Spaces where there is an ease inside of the walls and a special character that only comes with time.
Atlanta Home Magazine is a favorite stop of mine when sourcing what is current in decorating trends and design inspiration. I find that it adds a nice perspective that is not uniquely East or West coast. In it, they recently featured a wonderful article on The 2010 Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators’ Show House & Gardens. This year the showcase was situated in Buckhead’s prestigious Tuxedo Park and offered a grand canvas for it's team of talented designers. My absolute favorite entry was a glorious dining room by Meg Adams that carefully mixed a beautiful turquoise color with a soft neutral backdrop. Anchoring the room was a reclaimed wood table paired with linen dressed chairs and two perfectly tailored benches. Every touch worked effortlessly. Please, please, please take note of the perfect Osborne & Little fabric and the Empire-style chandelier. To die!
