ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES: Tell us, how did you get your start as a floral designer? CANAAN MARSHALL: I was working at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in my hometown, Macon, Georgia. While I was there I would see people come to the museum to host parties and events. Helping to plan those events brought me so much joy and I felt inspired to add more to them. That addition just happened to be flowers. AH&L: You’re known as the flower whisperer, and with a charismatic persona to match, you make a lasting impression on most you meet. How do you infuse your vibrant personality into your arrangements? CM: I start with color. I love creating color palettes for the flowers I’m arranging and I think that really expresses who I am. I’m a colorful person and I like to have a great time with my designs. I can provide
structure in my arrangements while still creating a piece that’s over the top. You should never be afraid to enjoy and do flowers like you want to! My motto is “place it and move on.” I don’t ever want to lose my authenticity in my work. AH&L: What are your favorite flowers to work with? CM: I love peonies, roses, hydrangeas and especially phalaenopsis orchids. Really, I love all flowers because I think you should be able to enjoy working with everything you have. AH&L: How do you take your floral arrangements from pretty to exceptional? CM: When I’m designing, the arrangement really comes to me as I’m building it. So, once it starts coming together, I’ll walk out of the room and come back to it with fresh eyes. That really gives me a chance to elevate the design. I can see what I may have missed or what I can tweak in the piece to give it
the “it” factor it’s longing for. AH&L: What was your inspiration for this tabletop? CM: The chargers on the table inspired me a lot. They were so colorful and pretty. I wanted those chargers to really highlight the flowers and vice versa. Then, I added in neutral elements, such as the plates, to enhance the elegance and take the overall palette up a notch. AH&L: Aside from beautiful arrangements, what are your other must-have entertaining items when hosting friends and family? CM: I think the most important things are great food, great conversation... and great champagne! AH&L: What advice would you give those who don’t have a natural green thumb? CM: Just try it! How will you know you won't be good at it? Even if an arrangement doesn’t come out like you imagined, learn from that and try again.

YEARNING FOR A HOME with more natural light and better circulation, a Buckhead couple considered selling the 1920s-era brick Georgian-style abode where they had raised their children. Until, that is, architects Andrew Cogar and David Van Groningen of Historical Concepts showed them how they could transform it into the sort of house they had long envisioned. “It feels fresher and lighter,” says Van Groningen. “[The wife] wanted to keep the spirit of the house but didn’t feel beholden to match everything exactly.” Relocating the original staircase from the front foyer to an adjoining room, for example, created a larger, brighter, more welcoming entry that connects the front of the house with a newly added conservatory that overlooks the lush backyard. “We were channeling Dumbarton Oaks and classic Georgian orangeries,” says Cogar, pointing to the black-and-white marble flooring and series of arched metal doors across the back. “It’s a little bit more Regency-inspired and European.”

D DESPITE ITS LACKLUSTER interior finishes, a stately Federal-style manse in Tuxedo Park captured the heart of a young mother known for her fabulous soirees. Years later, after her children had their own families, she commissioned architect Charles Heydt of Pak Heydt & Associates and interior designer Elizabeth Lawrence, partner at Bunny Williams Interior Design, to reimagine it for a new era. “It was time to give her dream house a new lease on life with a higher level of finish and customization,” says Lawrence. To better showcase the hilltop home, landscape architect Richard Anderson eliminated a prominent mound that obscured the front porch when viewed from the street. Boxwoods and other simple plantings add color and soften the front facade. “The goal was for this house to look like it’s been here forever,” he explains.

Their charm is matched with trellis accents and a chinoiserie-inspired mural by artist Mary Meade Evans.

WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER Emily Wyatt met her clients in 2017, she knew this wouldn’t be an ordinary project. They had purchased a 1940s Georgian home that had been virtually untouched since its construction, leaving it ripe for renovation. And best of all? “This couple was ready to tackle a big overhaul,” says Wyatt. “I was impressed by the potential they saw in the house and, more so, their enthusiasm,” she adds. “Most would have been overwhelmed bringing this property up-to-date, but these clients were ready to roll up their sleeves and dive in.” Another thing the couple brought in abundance was patience. There were no quick fixes when it came to architect Kate Mabry finessing the layout to better equip the home for both family life and entertaining.
