Battle of Atlanta
a
On February 22, the ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER unveils the much anticipated, meticulous restoration of one of the world’s largest paintings, the cylindrical and panoramic depiction of the Civil War’s 1864 “Battle of Atlanta.” Painstakingly transported from its former home in Grant Park (where it lived for more than a century), the German restoration firm Weilhammer & Schoeller has unfurled, restored and meticulously installed this massive yet fragile piece of American history, where its new, 360-degree home will once again display its original “wow” factor. atlantahisto-

Artist Collaborations
Forget influencers, we’re excited about the number of brands enlisting artisans to extend their reach into other mediums, by rejuvenating everything from textiles to furniture. One partnership we’re jazzed about: HEATHER ROSENMAN for KERRY JOYCE TEXTILES, in which the ceramist's figurative works, inspired by ancient forms, are translated into sculptural textiles due to be released this month. Available to the trade at Grizzel & Mann, ADAC. 12

Colors of the Year Color! Is it making a comeback? Depends on which 2019 Color of the Year announcement you believe. BENJAMIN MOORE announced its hue, a cool, contemplative, stylish gray called Metropolitan AF-690 (along with a 15-hue on-trend palette for 2019), while color authority PANTONE went warm with a striking, “life-affirming” Living Coral, a shade of orange with golden undertone.

Fashion-forward! We’re loving the way some of our favorite interior and textile designers have translated their interior perspective into fashionable jewelry collections. Design doyenne CHARLOTTE MOSS has collaborated with hardware firm P.E. GUERIN to adapt a number of their classically inspired decorative motifs into a collection of contemporary, heirloom-worthy cuff bracelets (above right) available in 24-karat gold and sterling silver finishes. “Textile-infused accessories” is how designer and master colorist LORI WEITZNER describes her fresh line of necklaces, earrings, cuffs, handbags and headbands (left). Weitzner’s attention to hand-made details are revealed through five richly rendered palettes. charlottemoss.com; shop.loriweitzner.com
An exciting new museum exhibition that calls attention to 20th-century artist Salvador Dali will arrive at OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF ART this May. Called “Salvador Dali’s Stairway to Heaven,” and on U.S. tour through 2021, the exhibition explores two of the Spanish artist’s most monumental and revolutionary illustration projects: his artwork for unforgettable editions of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” and Comte de Lautréamont’s “Les Chants de Maldoror.” museum.oglethorpe.edu
In February, we come out of hibernation to catch illustrious design-industry veterans like DeJuan Stroud at the THOMASVILLE ANTIQUES SHOW (February 22-24; thomasvilleantiquesshow.com); also look for us at ANTIQUES & GARDEN SHOW OF NASHVILLE (February 1-3, 2019; antiquesandgardenshow.com); LUXURY LIVING SHOW (February 1-28; atlantahomesmag.com) and DESIGN INFLUENCERS CONFERENCE (February 24-26; designinfluencersconference.com).

2019 might just be the year of the garden party, as textile and furniture manufacturers alike find ways to bring the outdoors in, and vice versa.

When in Nashville THE CLASSIC LANDMARKS & MODERN MUST-SEE’S IN TENNESSEE’S MUSIC CITY—RIGHT NOW! Written by CLAIRE RUHLIN
NASHVILLE IS HAVING A MOMENT; if you’re one of the city’s many visitors (there were 14.5 million recorded in 2017), you’ll notice an abundance of new shops, restaurants and boutique hotels—with countless more under construction. And while there’s no shortage of new sights to see, you also won’t want to miss the legendary landmarks that originally landed Nashville on the national radar. Here, we’ve broken down a bit of the new and the old that you won’t want to miss on your next trip to Music City.
STAY When it comes to accomodations, the luxurious Hermitage Hotel offers a chic glimpse into the city’s storied past. Nashville’s only Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond hotel, its Beaux Arts architecture has served as a striking backdrop for guests (many a celebrity among them) since the hotel opened in 1910. Downtown’s newer boutique options include Noelle, housed in the circa-1929 Noel Place, and travel-inspired hotel Bobby. For an intimate experience, don’t miss the historic Germantown Inn. Housed in an 1865, Federal-style home in Nashville’s hip Germantown neighborhood, the hotel recently completed the addition of a 2,000-square-foot Carriage House, encompassing two stories of four additional suites. For the resort experience, the sprawling Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, though just outside Nashville proper, is just steps from the Grand Ole Opry and offers lush atrium gardens with live music and entertainment. 20

VISIT Nashville is known as Music City for a reason; don’t miss legendary sites such as the “Mother Church of Country Music,” the Ryman Auditorium, where everyone from Patsy Cline and James Brown to Taylor Swift and Coldplay have performed. Though the Ryman is one of Nashville’s most famous music venues, it was historic Fisk University’s Fisk Jubilee Singers who earned Nashville its iconic nickname when they performed for the Queen of England in 1873 (the a cappella group was also one of the first concerts at the Ryman). Explore musicians throughout history at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum, or browse more than 8,000 square feet of vintage instruments at Carter Vintage Guitars (where you just might run into a well-known musician or two). And of course, the wait is always worth it at the iconic Bluebird Cafe, where some of the most legendary songwriters performed their original material.
EAT Among Nashville’s most beloved restaurants is Rolf and Daughters, which gained national recognition for its New American shared plates and rustic pastas. Its sister concept, the pizzaforward Folk, opened in spring 2018. Charleston-based Butcher & Bee expanded to East Nashville in 2015, offering up a menu of farm-fresh, simple dishes designed to share (we recommend the hummus). For a taste of classic Tennessee barbecue, visit the everpopular Peg Leg Porker (the line is worth it—we promise).
BUTCHER & BEE BY ANDREW CEBULKA AND SAM ANGEL
SHOP If shopping is on the itinerary, the city’s trendy 12 South neighborhood is a must. Here, you’ll find local favorites such as premium denim purveyor Imogene + Willie and Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James boutique. You’ll also find the iconic “I Believe in Nashville” mural here, and keep an eye out for Amelia’s Flower Truck. Nearby is Nashville-based interior designer Sarah Bartholomew’s charming Green Hills studio, SB. Sarah Bartholomew, which opened in August 2018, an ode to the designer’s fresh-yetclassic aesthetic. Meanwhile, in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood, you’ll find chic boutiques housed in industrial buildings and warehouses. Stop by the airy showroom/studio Emil Erwin to browse a curated selection of classic, handmade leather handbags, belts, home goods and more. Nearby is the showroom for Nisolo—known for its ethically made leather shoes—and the second retail shop of Nashville jeweler Consider the Wldflwrs. Housed in a former industrial boiler room, Peter Nappi’s studio showroom is home to high-end Italian leather boots, shoes and accessories, along with European vintage home goods. Before leaving Germantown, pay a visit to the 16-acre, indoor-outdoor Nashville Farmers’ Market, where, in addition to fresh produce, you’ll find local artisanal food, restaurants, shops and chef demos. visitmusiccity.com; (800) 657-6910
clockwise from top Keep an eye out for Nashville’s mobile flower shop, Amelia’s Flower Truck. Fresh, simple dishes and thoughtful cocktails take center stage at Butcher & Bee. The Peter Nappi showroom offers high-end Italian leather products.

HARMONIOUS BLEND ELIZABETH GODWIN INTERIORS & KINGDOM WOODWORKS
Liz Godwin knew that the kitchen design was a success when most visitors ended up in the space on opening night. For her first showhouse, Godwin blended elegant antiques and nostalgic touches with modern styling and conveniences. The bold scale of the pyramid motif, walnut wood and a high gloss on the island reinvent the traditional elements of cabinetry by pushing the envelope toward modernism, says Kingdom Woodworks’ Marcel Olariu. Brass and polished nickel work in harmony in the cabinet lining, hardware, lighting and custom vent hood. Godwin accented the room with personal collections and heirlooms, such as silver salt and pepper shakers, which added patina to the approachable, inviting space. Blue tones in the stools’ boutique fabric, an antique rug and drabware plates (belonging to Godwin’s mother) contrast against the kitchen’s sleek functionality. “With all of the ambient noise of a busy lifestyle, I wanted a calming surrounding where the family could relax and regroup after a hectic day.” Or on opening night. —Lori Johnston

CHEERFUL EXPLORATION INTERIOR PHILOSOPHY
Natural light and views from the upstairs bedroom made Mandy Mayers and Jessica Roan, co-owners of Buckhead boutique Interior Philosophy, feel happy and serene, and the design duo transferred those feelings into an upbeat, eclectic room layered with texture. “The room was designed to feel cheery, not too serious,” said the designers, who envisioned a well-traveled individual surrounding herself with fabrics from India and Turkey, rugs from Morocco, antiques from France, and baskets and accessories from Africa. Shades of magenta and other berry tones mingle with earthy neutrals, seen in the feather art, vintage rugs and canopy bed with a romantic custom fabric roof. To add interest, they combined several textures—wood, raffia, grasscloth, beads and metallics—as the bedroom transitioned to the bathroom with cabinets by Kingdom Woodworks. Punctuation points included an acrylic chair at an antique French table that serves as a desk for work. “We didn’t want to block the beautiful window,” Mayers says. —Lori Johnston

YOUTHFUL RETREAT MONTGOMERY GRATCH INTERIORS
For this upstairs young adult bedroom, Julie Montgomery and Michele Gratch of Montgomery Gratch Interiors imagined their client as “a sophisticated high school senior who was well traveled, loved art and fashion,” says Gratch. Their jumping point was the black-and-white accent wall, which was hand-stenciled by textile designer Kari Fisher. “We chose one of her patterns, changed the scale and collaborated with her to achieve the block-printed look for the focal wall,” Montgomery says. From there, the duo layered the space with colorful, abstract art and accessories, while pops of black in the custom headboard and drapery offset the sweetness of the blush accessories and walls (painted Sherwin-Williams’ Nearly Peach). Champagne-hued chairs and a soft, neutral rug provide softness. “We wanted to show that all though black can be strong it can also read as a neutral and not to be afraid of it,” explains Gratch. The blackand-white scheme carries into the adjoining bathroom, where Schumacher’s Blommen wallpaper adds “a touch of whimsy to keep the space feeling youthful—this fun print might make you think of a coloring book,” Montgomery says. —Claire Ruhlin AREA RUG ANDOUSHAK RUG Keivan Woven Arts PENDANT, FLOOR LAMP AND SMALL TABLE LAMPS Circa Lighting ANTIQUE BRASS ETAGERE Verde Home LEATHER CHAIRS Regina Andrews BURLED WALNUT ITALIAN COMMODES William Word Fine Antiques OTTOMANS Spiffy Stuff DRIFTWOOD STOOL, OLIVE VENEER CHAIR, SHELL OBELISK AND PORCELAIN PUFFER BALLS Made Goods ALL OTHER ITEMS Montgomery Gratch Interiors PAINT Sherwin-Williams BATHROOM CABINETRY Kingdom Woodworks COUNTERTOPS HanStone TILE Renaissance Tile & Bath
