Garden Party Angela Bromenschenkel’s main goal in the dining room was to create a “dining in the garden” environment. The ceiling is painted in Sherwin-Williams’ Sea Salt to resemble the sky, while garden panels by Mary Frances Estock reflect scenes from nature. And when the French doors are open, “If you close your eyes and feel the breeze, you’re immediately transported,” she says.

DESIGNER ANGELA BROMENSCHENKEL wasn’t looking to move ten years ago, but when she and her husband happened upon a quaint, French Normandy-inspired abode located just two streets down from where they lived in Haynes Manor, something ignited. Maybe it was the way it was perched atop a hill, trees dancing around, enveloping the home in a sea of green and offering the privacy that the Bromenschenkel’s then-home lacked. Or perhaps it was how the 9,500-square-foot home, though sizable, still felt approachable and welcoming—somewhere they could envision raising their twin boys. No matter the reason, it’s rightful to suggest the Bromenschenkels didn’t find their new home, their new home found them. “We thought, ‘Let’s just be wild and spontaneous,’” she explains. “The house had wonderful bones, a beautiful layout and so much potential for our family. We knew we could take it to the next level.”

Aged to Perfection Though the home was less than 10 years old when the Bromenschenkels moved in, they were drawn to how Summerour used materials that made the home appear as if it had stood for decades. The stucco and limestone exterior, zinc pots and overhang and potted boxwoods reect French Normandy style.

Style Files opposite The antique Italian mirror over the fireplace “really does make the place,” says homeowner Jared Sapp, though he admits it took convincing to purchase. right The color of the vintage channeled velvet armchair was just right, says Ryan Hughes of R Hughes showroom, who mixed a Liaigre side table from R Hughes with a vintage coffee table. The side table overflows with plants; gardening is Sapp’s newfound passion.

POWERFUL POPS OF COLOR are balanced by crisp white notes and tailored lines in this artfully designed Sea Island cottage. “The series of citrus paintings by Laura Powell Smith hanging above a turquoise banquette were the inspiration for the interiors,” says Atlanta designer Will Huff of Huff-Dewberry, Inc. The paintings feature a blue background with zesty tones of lemon, orange and lime outlined in black—a creative element Huff deftly replicated in the design details by hanging brightly colored draperies from thin black iron rods. This vibrantly colored, yet elegantly composed residence was created for an empty nester couple whose love of Sea Island began with their honeymoon. After many years of renting vacation homes, this house captured their sights with its blue shutters and River Oak-framed facade. Built in 1974, the house features high beamed ceilings, herringbone brick and tabby floors, and a beautiful pine mantel in the great room—all original architectural features that the owners wanted to preserve. “The proportions of the great room fit today’s lifestyle, so the only significant architectural change we made was designing a new kitchen within the original footprint, and one that feels original to the house,” says Huff.
