Mastering the Mix LIVING ROOM, LORRAINE ENWRIGHT, INTUITIVE DWELLINGS
Concepting the interior canvas of a home can be daunting, but not for Lorraine Enwright of Intuitive Dwellings. As the lead finish designer, she curated the distinctive details, such as hardware and lighting, that defined the Serenbe Designer Showhouse. Describing the aesthetic as “transitional modern,” Enwright started by mixing reclaimed and organic materials with modern lines and finishes. “We wanted to capture the casual, artistic design flow of Serenbe with a sprinkle of modern elegance,” she shared. “Reclaimed and natural materials combined with modern forms and finishes create a visual yin and yang of comfort and sophistication.” This creative push and pull is seen in the living room, where a statement steel mantel and beveled quartzite fireplace serves as a sleek counterpoint to reclaimed beams overhead. Enwright also crafted a vignette of smaller pieces to soften the room’s soaring 14-foot ceilings, invoking scale and intimacy. “Mixing a bold, colorful and modern painting with smaller black-and-white framed compositions provided both the drama and the scale that’s perfect to bring the space together,” she says.

Well Grounded
KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM, ELIZABETH FERGUSON DESIGN AND BELL CABINETRY & DESIGN (KITCHEN) The kitchen and dining room have always been the heart of the home, but after an unparalleled year, it’s become our hardworking haven, notes Elizabeth “Buffy” Ferguson of Elizabeth Ferguson Design, who complemented elements like the kitchen’s lime-washed oak and quartzite waterfall countertops with an earthy palette rooted in natural tones and textures and punctuated with pops of black. “We wanted to create an elegant yet comfortable environment—a retreat with personality and warmth where friends come together, families are raised, and the beauty of everyday life unfolds,” she says. In the open-concept living-dining room, pairing elegance with versatility was key, so Ferguson opted for stylish form and function. Hide barstools, brown velvet pillows and leather slipcovered chairs create a sense of elegant ease, while a round table is conducive to conversation. “Combined with a comfortable settee, you can spend hours working or enjoying long dinners with friends. The materials hold up to the reality of everyday life yet have a beautiful elegance.”

Linger Longer
BACK SCREENED PORCH FRANCIE HARGROVE, FRANCIE HARGROVE INTERIOR DESIGN Screened porches have evolved from heavy hues into light, luxurious settings for extended relaxation. “I like to create rooms where people want to linger and enjoy conversations, whether it’s over a cocktail or dinner or just reading a great book,” says designer Francie Hargrove. The rich pigment in the abstract painting established her palette of navy blue and chocolate brown. An ebony finish on the waterfall coffee table, accessorized with antlers and an onyx bowl, serves as an anchor against neutral furnishings and drapery. The high ceilings called for a series of panels that added warmth and intimacy to the vast space, yet still let the light filter in. An antique carved wood buffet from France doubles as a bar. With drinks in hand, the residents and guests can choose from various seating, including a swivel chair upholstered in Belgium linen, hair-on-hide stools or barrel-back chairs that marry with the warm tones of the stone fireplace.

Timeless Welcome
FOYER HOLLY LAUGHRIDGE, ACORNS AT OLD EDWARDS INN AND SPA Foyers deserve amazing mirrors, says Holly Laughridge, and she looked no further when she found the trumeau mirror that became the focal point of her entryway. The carved ribbon-tied musical trophy on the wood piece, circa 1820, established the designer’s timeless style. The mirror’s light wood, along with with the Jan Barboglio sconces and an iron table with a green glass top, keep the entryway light and airy. Antiques and heirlooms blend with new pieces, such as an antique wool that was rewoven into a new rug. A vintage European fabric in green and orange and a pair of ferns provide traditional accents while the rug creates a calming point of entry, even for virtual viewers. “All of the colors were very representative of a mountain home,” says Laughridge. “In my mind, everything just kind of blended well together.”

Sophisticated Setting
DINING ROOM TORI ALEXANDER, ALEXANDER INTERIORS
Nature’s palette is evident in Tori Alexander’s first showhouse. The designer says she pushed her own tastes to the extreme, such as in choosing the floral chintz in a chartreuse citron for the skirted table. “My design aesthetic is traditional and timeless with a fresh and young perspective,” she says. Mixing color, texture and pattern is her signature, and she did so with the table, wicker chairs, gilded settee, painted wood high chair and artwork. To create visual interest and bring attention to the height of the room, Alexander hung the draperies high, accented corners with columns and wicker urns, and hung a delicate iron chandelier. “My whole objective was to frame the window and really emphasize nature’s beauty,” says the Nashville designer. “That’s, to me, what Cashiers and this area is about, is incorporating the natural elements inside and out.”
