KEITH, ETC. A designer and nearprofessional shopper with discriminating taste, KEITH ARNOLD unleashes his trove of one-of-a-kind finds inside a boutique tucked into Ainsworth-Noah Written by THE EDITORS Photographed by MARC MAULDIN
TUCKED AWAY INSIDE ADAC’s AinsworthNoah showroom is one of this summer’s best discoveries: a treasure trove of intriguing works of art, objets, collections and antiques culled from around the world. Called Keith, etc., the showroom-within-a-showroom concept is the brainchild of Keith Arnold, the Vice President of Suzanne Kasler Interiors. A creative outlet for the highly inventive designer on one hand, and a showcase of his ingenious eye for style on the other, the trade-only boutique evokes the feeling of a Parisian antiques stall—and though Keith, etc. is teeming with curiosities, it’s also curated, masterfully so, with vignettes perfectly divided by palette, each with its own punch. What compelled you to open Keith, etc. and how do you see it evolving over time?
ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES:

KEITH ARNOLD: I have had it in the back of my mind to do something on my own for some time now, and I love to shop and find unusual things. I also love to style, so this concept is a marriage of those two passions. I hope Keith, etc. will become a designer destination and resource for unusual, fabulous accessories, art and antiques. ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES: What is Keith, etc. designed to celebrate, and what kind of shopper do you expect to attract? ARNOLD: At the heart of Keith, etc. is my personal style, which is really all about a stylish mix: pairing new and old, high and low, fancy and cool, traditional and modern. I love the tension between all of the complements! I really want to attract designers that need the special or unexpected layer to their project (or home). What makes an interior is often the inter-

esting accessories, eye-catching art or that incredible antique piece. I want to attract people who incorporate these things in their work. So I guess I expect the shopper to be design-minded, creative and someone that appreciates great style! ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES: As a designer and professional shopper yourself, what kind of experience were you looking to create for your own customers? And what are your favorite pieces that are currently in stock? ARNOLD: I want it to be an inspiring shopping experience, one that’s memorable and also, surprises the shopper, in a good way! Currently, I love the series of abstract line drawings by a French artist and I love the way that we framed them. Also, the rockcrystal and stone mirror is such an unusual and singular piece. Keith, etc. is a trade-only boutique at AinsworthNoah, ADAC, Ste 518. For up-to-date product arrivals, follow @keith.etc on Instagram
“As a designer, I am always collecting things,” says Keith Arnold, Vice President of Suzanne Kasler Interiors. Keith, etc. is located inside the Ainsworth-Noah showroom at ADAC, and evokes the feeling of a Parisian antiques stall. The boutique acts as Arnold’s creative outlet, offering unusual collections, found pieces and interesting works of art from his international travels and buying trips.

COLOR STORY Lee Kleinhelter and T.S. Adams Studio inject a historic Dutch Colonial home with happy hues and classic character Written by CLAIRE RUHLIN Photographed by JEFF HERR Styled by ELEANOR ROPER
Energetic Burst Interior designer Lee Kleinhelter incorporated pops of red-orange into the dining room of this circa-1935 home through velvet-upholstered chairs (sourced from Parc Monceau and re-covered in a Knoll velvet) and Stephanie Henderson’s Target painting. Overhead, an antique chandelier adds a classic touch. The drapery is Miles Redd for Schumacher in Capri.

DOWNSIZING IS A GOAL for many retirees, but it didn’t make sense for a couple with a large extended family. Instead, they built a five-bedroom home on a verdant golf course in Duluth with plenty of space for their adult daughter and her family, who all have their own bedrooms there. There was just one catch: “This is my client’s dream house, but they wanted it to feel more modern,” says interior designer, Kristin Kong. To tone down the traditional architecture, the designer painted the walls and moldings throughout in a crisp shade of white, and she brought in new ebony-stained hardwood flooring that was “museumlike,” Kong says. She also redesigned the home’s two fireplaces. In the great room, the contemporary firebox is surrounded by sleek floor-to-ceiling porcelain slabs flanked by vertical wooden beams, a striking focal point for an Italian sectional sofa and a pair of 1980s-inspired chairs covered in a funky patterned fabric. “This home is subdued, but there are some great patterned pieces and fun pillows,” Kong explains. “We built around them.”

Layered Luxe In the dining room of this Atlanta mid-rise, designer Andrew Howard incorporated treasures from the homeowner’s travels, including a framed tapestry and vintage accent chairs. The dining chairs feature a Christopher Farr Cloth’s fabric and are finished with a vinyl, a mindful touch given the client’s dogs and grandchildren. opposite A vintage terracotta lamp from Max & Company adds to the condo’s layered appeal.

THE NEW FORMAL
Subtle Sensibilities “Antiques were used to elevate the space and we married them with a more contemporary style through art and accessories,” says Cathy Austin of the living room. Textiles from Cowtan & Tout, Clarence House and Lee Jofa create a sophisticated layer while an ottoman from Highland House and watercolor groupings by Ruth Ava Lyons add youthful flair. The large collage is by Selena Beaudry through Hidell Brooks Gallery.
