I recently read a bunch of 1970s-era Southern design magazines that I received from a friend, and what a trip down memory lane it has been. On the one hand, I have enjoyed being reminded of former design trends that still look good today, like patchwork quilts and floral chintz. On the other, I have also become reacquainted with shag carpet, which I would prefer to forget. Still, it has been fascinating to compare 50-year-old Southern interiors to our homes today. For one thing, you no longer see as many homes decorated with Early American furniture as you did back in the ’70s. I’m guessing that the bicentennial contributed to its popularity back at that time, but with the semiquincentennial looming on the horizon, I wonder if we’ll start seeing a resurgence of Americana. Not that I anticipate antique spinning wheels making a comeback—you cannot believe how many I spied in those old magazines—but why not lowboys or piecrust tables? One thing that hasn’t really changed over the past 50 years is our Southern love of color, although the shades we have gravitated to over the years have changed. In one of the old magazines, I saw photos of an Atlanta home bursting with color, including golden yellow, sapphire blue, and crimson—not all in the same room, of course. We like colorful hues just as much today, but I now typically see soft pinks, pale blue, aqua, lavender, and leafy greens more often than I do jewel tones. There is also the enduring affection for Asian antiques and accessories, which you might be surprised to learn are not a new sensation here in the South. Back in the ’70s, it was not uncommon to see a Southern home furnished with foo dogs, ceramic Chinese garden stools, emperor’s chairs, or Chinese wallpaper, all which, as you well know, continue to grace our homes today. I guess the takeaway from perusing these vintage magazines is that while trends come and go, the attention we Southerners pay to interior design never seems to waver. 45

Family Room, Kitchen, & Breakfast Area The intricate
patterns and palette of Jiun Ho’s Kalahari textile collection excited and inspired honorary showhouse co-chairs Mark Williams and Niki Papadopoulos, who used the fabrics for the vintage lounge chairs and window treatments in the grand living room. “It feels so fresh and abstract without being primary or expected,” says Papadopoulos. The designers selected furnishings with similar heights not to distract from the rounded fireplace wall, built-in shelving, and views of the tree canopy. And spanning the entire wall, a meadow scene on canvas adds a whimsical layer to the space. The fireplace mirrors the rounded vent hood in the kitchen, where bleached walnut cabinetry by Bell Cabinetry & Design, brass fixtures, and marble countertops and backsplash provide a clean-lined, sophisticated effect. Above the breakfast area’s tulip table, Harriet Leibowitz’s photograph is a cheeky wink to society life, and is paired with traditional still lifes. “This is a room for a family that loves nice things and a beautiful environment,” says Williams, “but isn’t afraid to have a little fun.” —Lori Johnston

SPECIAL SCENE
PATR ICK AND MEGHAN SHAR P, MISTER + MRS SHAR P
Dining Room
Dining rooms are special for their dedication to one thing: sitting around the table with loved ones and friends. The idea of forging connections around a shared meal was heartwarming to Atlanta-based designers Patrick and Meghan Sharp of Mister + Mrs Sharp. “We see a chic friend group that enjoys cooking and dining together using this space for their weekly dinner party,” says Meghan of the potential homeowners who will one day love the space. “We’d also love to see families taking the time to dine together around this big round table.” The duo chose Le Parc wallpaper by Pierre Frey, picturing a pastoral scene punctuated by saturated blues and greens and more understated fabrics for the upholstery and draperies. A Louis XVI sideboard flanked by modern, sculptural chairs further dial up the drama. Says Patrick, “We love how the wallpaper makes the room feel special, the sideboard gives the room gravitas, and the striped fabric brings the room to a comfortable place that can be enjoyed everyday.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

primary closet has been gussied up to become more than a merely functional space. “It was inspired by an Art Deco dream of a closet that one can relax in, enjoy a drink, and be surrounded by beautiful objects and clothing,” says Abernathy. A custom-designed Art Deco-style tête-à-tête lounger, covered in luxurious velvet, anchors the jewel-box space, providing a spot to relax beneath a high-style suspended light fixture. Luxe details include a Regency writing desk, a gilt chinoiserie mirror that hangs in front of windows, and dramatic velvet drapery. Interesting art is a highlight, including black and white photography and a pair of framed corsets. “They felt perfectly at home in this dressing room,” says Malone. The most unique addition of all appears on the ceiling, where hand-pressed and molded plaster flowers add a blooming flourish to the space. —Jennifer Boles
