With vacation homes as the focus of
this months issue, Ive started thinking about my own summertime plans,
which have yet to be determined. For
a little inspiration, I turned to some
Atlanta tastemakers to see what
theyll be up to this year.
After six weeks of very unusual snow in Cashiers last winter, which caused a multitude of
plants to bid us farewell, we will be working atop Big Sheep Mountain getting things back into
shape. Winton Noah, co-owner, Ainsworth-Noah & Associates
Summer and vacation are now year-round for me. In April, my husband and I moved into
our new lakefront home, just south of Atlanta. Boating and shing and sticking my toes in the
water will take me to that place of peace, right in my own back yard. Every day will feel like a
vacation day. And of course, summer also means hosting the televised reworks program at
Lenox Square on the Fourth of July. Monica Pearson, anchor, WSB-TV
I look forward to spending as much time as possible riding my new horse, which I hope to
be getting in the next couple of months. No exotic summer tripsjust time in Cherokee County
riding and spending lazy summer days with my horse family Sandy and Allen on their beautiful
horse farm! Nancy Solomon, owner, Solomon Projects
I will be spending some quiet vacation timeand escaping the Atlanta heatin the Hudson
River Valley. A little over an hour outside New York City, I will most certainly make a stop at The
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to nalize plans for the Highs next big exhibition, Picasso to
Warhol: Twelve Modern Masters, opening in October. Michael E. Shapiro, Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr. Director, High Museum of Art
Id love to know your plans, as well. Stay in touch with us this summer at

In the Atlanta home, colorful pillows and art add pop, while an accessible terrace leads the way to
amazing city views, especially at
night. In Madison, a fully stocked
bar, inspired by that of an old ship
and built from reclaimed wood, is
prime for entertainingor just wiling away a lazy spring evening.
Apothecary bottles line the mantels and ample references to nature, such as a vintage bird study
chart, abound. opposite In Madison, a spacious hallway connects

sense of history.
We kept finding things like the window above the front door, which
was completely painted over, Stanton recalls. We just started scraping and, once we punched through, everything instantly looked so much
bigger and brighter.
Built in 1818, the home is the oldest brick structure in town, and
comes with a long and checkered history of owners, additions and
mishaps, including a fire in the late 1960s. But it has withstood the test
of time, and its many unique architectural featuressuch as staggered
ceiling heights and intricate mantelsare proof positive. And the living room, with its soaring 11-foot ceiling, deep khaki walls and bountiful textures, is inherently calming. Theres just something about this
room, Stanton says. You get here and you sit down, and you instantly
relax. Its wonderful.
Located just an hours drive from the big city, Madison is not too far
off the beaten path, but remote enough to make it a wonderful discovery. My parents live on Lake Oconee at Reynolds Plantation, explains
Stanton, and on the way to visit them one weekend, we drove through
Madison. We immediately thought, this is incredible. With Athens
and Reynolds Plantationand, in turn, The National and The RitzCarltona convenient 30 minutes away, it was easy to fall head over
heels. And because neither Stanton nor Greco work on Mondays,
Madison is their favorite place to spend long weekendstheir Chihuahua pup, Terry, ever in tow.
In fact, Stanton describes it as a place where time stands still. Our
cell phones dont work well, and since were right on the square, we can
walk to all the restaurants, shop at the interiors market and pass by the
old graveyard. There are so many wonderful old things to see; we sort
of just get up and have our coffee and go.
The slow pace of things is a nice contrast to their life back in Atlanta, one that couldnt be more urbane. The two live, work and play in
the burgeoning Westside, walking to many of their favorite restaurantsamong them Abattoir, JCT Kitchen and West Egg Cafand
arriving at work in as few as five minutes. And though their Madison
home is the perfect embodiment of the Stanton aestheticcozy, intimate and replete with meaningful objectsthe couples two-bedroom
condominium at Westside Provisions, which they moved into just six
months ago, demonstrates how the same items can skew sleek and
modern.
Here, Stantons telltale pieces and palette gain an edge thanks to
cool touches like a mod freestanding fireplace in the entryway, a rich
black guest bathroom, and a vibrantly colored Hudsons Bay blanket
tempering the dark gray walls of the master bedroom. A smart floor
plan and sleek kitchen are just a few of the perks their city space offers,
but without all the surplus of their former Atlanta home. Even the master bath, outfitted with subway tiled marble and espresso-toned cabinets, was a breath of fresh air.
We had just finished doing the bathrooms in Madison, and it can
be a nightmare working on old houses, says Stanton. When we walked
in and saw how nice it was, we said, This is perfect, were ready to move
in. And so it happened; in just one week, they did. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

surroundings, those in his Atlanta

CLINTON SMITH: YOU FORMERLY HAD A VACATION HOUSE AT ROSEMARY BEACH, WHICH YOU HAVE SINCE SOLD. HOWD YOU END UP AT
LAKE RABUN? Kay Douglass: Funny enough, my husband, Jim, went
to the lake for the first time last year while I was on a buying trip
to France. He went up on an invite from a friend and came back
saying that he had found the perfect lake, and it was only one-anda-half hours away from Atlanta. We didnt discuss it again until one
hot, sultry June day, when we called Lakemont real estate agent
Michael McGaughey on a whim and asked if we could come up
in two hours! He laughed, said yes, and just a few weeks later we
knew that we had found the perfect house!
than going up and walking into those light and bright rooms with
striking colors. Its kind of like when you walk into a great hotel
a happy surprise! At home, my house is much more toned down, all
very white with only pops of yellow.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SLEEP OVER? We can have up to 12 people
sleeping comfortably, but when we went house hunting we had no
intention of having as many bedrooms. Since the house was a former lodge, there are just so many little rooms. Now, each bedroom
has its own bright color palettecitron, cobalt, orange and verde.
YOUR USE OF COLOR IS GENIUS. BOTH YOUR CITY AND COUNTRY
HOUSES IMPLORE LOTS AND LOTS OF WHITE AS A BACKDROP, BUT POPS
YOUVE HAD THE LAKE HOUSE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR NOW. HOW HAVE
YOU FOUND THAT YOUR CITY AND COUNTRY HOUSES DIFFER? I have
colors at the lake that I probably could not live with everyday
the orange and that crazy fuschia. However, I like nothing more
Against a backdrop of
white, Douglass introduced bold and graphic
pops of orange, purple
and fuschia in the living
room. Basket light, pillows and Verellen sofas
and chairs, South of Market. The leather chaise
was bought in France.

originally began. I love finding unusual things and giving them new
life. It only takes a few really special items to give a house that feeling. When it comes to clients, this part is always interesting. Convincing the client that the crazy object were proposing is a
must-have to complete their room is sometimes a challenge, but it
almost always becomes their favorite and most talked about thing
in the house!

2009 issue and has since been published in the Italian edition of Architectural

INTERVIEW BY
MARCIA SHERRILL
Miles Redd
Marcia Sherrill chats with the New York design superstar
whos originally from the ATL
MILES, YOU ARE AN ATLANTA NATIVE. WHAT LED
STARTED DESIGNING?
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW WORKING DESIGNERS TO HAVE A LOOK, YET IT
NEVER OVERWHELMS YOUR CLIENTS VISIONS. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE
LESSLYTO KEEP YOUR DESIGNS IN LOCK-STEP WITH YOUR CLIENTS? I really have had the luck of having great clients with strong opinions.
This gives each job a unique feeling, and thats what you are sensing. YOU ARE SO GLAMOROUS AND YOUR STYLE IS SO POLISHED. IS THERE
ANYTHING FROM YOUR SOUTHERN CHILDHOOD THAT INFLUENCES YOU?
Absolutely! I always say the South has the taste. The thing that
I take away most is that we enjoy lifeand isnt that the point of
everything? YOUVE LONG BEEN THE DARLING OF THE DESIGN PRESS.
WHATS NEXT FOR ATLANTAS VERY OWN WUNDERKIND? I hope just more
good decoration and good times!
