MANY PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT moving back into their childhood home, but few have the opportunity. When HuffDewberry received a call to update a family home, they knew the project would be enormously fulfilling. The traditional home was built in the 1970s by the owner’s parents, and not only was it dark and dated, but the spaces weren’t conducive for an active family with a penchant for collecting contemporary
54
art. “As soon as Will [Huff] and I toured the house, we realized that the scope of work would entail a full renovation,” says designer Heather Dewberry. The owners had long admired the work of Spanish architect Luis Bustamante, and his clean aesthetic mixed with antiques provided the perfect inspiration for the project. “Our job was to incorporate the pieces they had inherited into the remodeled childhood home of the owner, but to use a light hand in mixing old and new in order to ensure it properly reflected them— relaxed, welcoming, warm and generous,” says Dewberry. Architect Ross Piper designed the impactful changes that honor the past while creating an environment more appropriate for today’s lifestyle. “Although the footprint of the house remained the same, opening up the back of the house with glass to permit more light was paramount to creating a more transitional home,” says Piper. “Our goal was to soften and simplify the house.” Lighter floors lend contemporary air to spaces with family antiques, while the new kitchen adds polish to the open living and family dining areas.

Holiday Charm A painting by Cheryl Goldsleger through Sandler Hudson Gallery is the focal point over the mantel. Custom stockings were made by HuffDewberry using fabric from Michael Devine through Travis & Company, while copper trees from Ballard Designs nestle amidst the garland.

Sweet Treat
Swags of lush garland, a series of wreaths and tidy bows dress up Farmdale at Christmas. opposite “My grandmother always said that a recipe is just a suggestion,” says designer and entertaining expert James Farmer, and this year the family-recipe coconut cake includes cranberries.

JAMES FARMER IS ONE of America’s preeminent experts on gracious Southern living, and when he entertains for the holidays, it’s a feast for the senses. “Everything must be fresh, fun and festive,” says Farmer. From cocktails to dessert, from wreaths and garlands to table settings and linens—every detail is curated by Farmer to create an unforgettable experience. Designed by Robert Norris of Spitzmiller & Norris, Farmdale is the designer’s personal home and just one of the many homes on his family’s land. Beamed ceilings made from reclaimed wood add patina while bricks made from Georgia red clay that were acquired when an old church was torn down in Macon are just two of the spectacular elements that make Farmdale feel as though it’s been there for generations. Inside, holiday decorations layered throughout the house sparkle with joviality. 65

FOR TWO OF ATLANTA’S MOST CREATIVE TALENTS, entertaining at home is truly an art form. From their Buckhead residence perched high atop one of Atlanta’s premier residential buildings, interior designer John Oetgen and brand strategist John Lineweaver regularly rewrite the rules of entertaining—whether it’s an intimate affair or a big blowout. And when it comes to imbuing good cheer into one of the most cheerful of all holidays, New Year’s Eve, they orchestrate an elegant and ebullient soiree that mixes high and low, old and new, and formality and frivolity with aplomb—that is, when they’re not toasting the new year in one of their favorite haunts such as Paris or St. Barths. Lucky are the guests who find themselves in the good graces of Oetgen and Lineweaver for an intimate evening at home on this festive night. “I think of our dining room as sort of a circus tent,” says Oetgen with a laugh. “It’s like a stage where anything can happen.” Indeed, the room’s backdrop—walls enveloped in a riotous mix of striped wallpapers in different colors and varying widths and an
