This party-ready dining room combines

Written by CLAIRE RUHLIN Photographed by DAVID CHRISTENSEN
INTERIOR DESIGNER CLARY BOSBYSHELL envisioned a

Christmas-morning brunch—one that could easily transition into
an all-day affair—when designing this festive yet fresh tablescape. “I
really wanted to create a holiday Christmas table that didn’t scream
‘Merry Christmas’ but that also incorporated family heirlooms and
small touches of that holiday feel,” Bosbyshell says.
Inspired by Tory Burch’s iconic green-and-white living room, the
designer used Anna Weatherley’s chic tulip plates as her starting
point and anchored the room with shades of chartreuse. Modern
pieces—such as a custom chandelier by Julie Neill Designs and
an abstract painting—mingle with antique treasures including a
French chest and silver that originally belonged to Bosbyshell’s
grandmother and mother. Dining chairs (Suzanne Kasler for
Hickory Chair) impart a classic silhouette, while an animal-print
fabric adds a playful element.
For a subtle nod to the holidays, Bosbyshell incorporated small
silver bells (gifts from her grandmother), along with a fully decked
miniature Christmas tree that was handmade by her mother-in-law. “I
love the mix, incorporating beautiful antiques with more contemporary
items,” she says. “I wanted to show that you can still incorporate your
mother’s beautiful silver but in a more fresh, updated and young feel.”

ONSIDER A SNOWFALL the natural
jewelry on a home’s seasonal attire. In
this new Atlanta residence, winter’s touch
sets an inviting scene for dinner parties and holi-
day traditions, such as adding artiicial snow to
the tree by hand. “The home itself feels so open
and warm and welcoming,” says interior designer
Lynne T. Rankin. “They always have roaring ire-
places and delicious food cooking in the kitchen.”
Architect D. Stanley Dixon’s design for the
6,600-square-foot English manse drew inspira-
tion from Boxwood, Buckhead’s beloved Philip
Shutze-designed estate, with which the home-
owners have a connection. The use of stucco and
stone gives the ive-bedroom, ive-and-a-half-
bath residence on 2 acres the feeling that it’s
existed for years, Rankin says. Antiques blend
with tailored furnishings and a couple of high-
stakes purchases. “It’s a fun collection of things
that they’ve picked up over the years. They also
wanted to add in some newer, fresher pieces,” she
says. “They wanted it to be timeless and livable,
but also feel fresh and young.”

balance in the design by architect D. Stanley Dixon. The builder
was Douglas C. Mullins. left The homeowners, who have young
children, carried the tradition of hand-flocking the tree into the

The homeowners spotted the marble surround

and mantel in London, sent photos to Dixon and
Rankin, and then shipped it in pieces to Atlanta.
Their splurge became the cornerstone of their fu-
ture living room. A trumeau mirror found closer
to home, in Alabama, proved a worthy match
above the marble. A palette of bluish gray and
creams wrapped the family in an airy and
approachable embrace.
In the often-used dining room, Rankin
softened the space with gray-blue curtains that
draw across the bay window and a Phillip Jeffries
grasscloth in the same tone. The other walls are
light paneled or painted. Another one of the
homeowner’s international purchases, a dining
room chandelier they found in Florence, Italy,
joined the window as the room’s focal points.
Rankin and the homeowner, who have known
each other since high school, made cross-country
selections and other big decisions in the feeling
of a true partnership, which also included Dixon
and landscape designer Carson McElheney. “It’s
been such a lovely experience,” Rankin says. “It
was a really wonderful collaboration.”

n December of 2015, after watching The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty almost daily, I took four of the most important people
in my life on the trip of a lifetime to the Nordic island
nation of Iceland. From the moment the light attendants woke
us up at 6:15 a.m., we opened our eyes to discover a magical
snow-blanketed world of pure white, deep teal, jet black and
icy blue. To me, this subarctic, outer space-esque world of
glaciers, arctic foxes and lava ields felt like paradise.
We arrived at the beginning of an arctic snowstorm, remi-
niscent of scenes from It’s a Wonderful Life and Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer. Due to this extreme weather, our planned
glacier and volcano expeditions were pushed an entire day, so
we explored the capital city of Reykjavik by foot. Soon thereaf-
ter I knew I wanted to make this magical land my home.
After loading up on Nordic sweaters and blankets, we called
it a night, then woke up early the next morning to meet our
guide, Árni Hallgrímsson. Arní was early, prepared and person-
able; we had the same taste in music; plus he happened to be
a skilled carpenter and contractor; so we had a lot in common.
After two absolutely perfect days exploring volcanoes and gla-
ciers in an amphibious SuperJeep, seeing the Northern Lights
and looking for arctic foxes, a lightbulb went off in my head:
perhaps Árni was the perfect person to help me ind a
Reykjavik ixer-upper, see it through to completion and make
my Walter Mitty dreams come true.
I returned to Reykjavík to meet Árni at a potential property
just eight weeks after our initial trip, hoping it could become

the perfect Nordic holiday home. It was perfect, and soon

thereafter Árni started demolition and construction, pulled
all-nighters doing much of the labor himself with his iancée
Olof in tow, hired top-quality subcontractors and inished the
project two weeks early. As a designer, I know inishing a proj-
ect two weeks early is a true Christmas miracle.
Come that November, I dressed my place up in arctic holi-
day style: sheepskin throws, a framed Nordic sweater above the
bar, a bare tree in the living room for texture, cut pine branches
in vessels and organic twig garland. And although my Icelan-
dic is super rusty, there’s one sentence I got down just in time,
“Gleðileg jól og farsælt komandi ár.” Translation: Merry Christ-
mas and Happy New Year!

KLOTZ of Regalo Antiques, who, like fel-
low female pioneers JANE MARSDEN and
DOTTY TRAVIS, were as renowned for their
design prowess as for their style-setting
showrooms illed with ine antiques,
imported furniture and fabrics.
Also at the pinnacle of their career in
the early ’80s was decorator T. GORDON
LITTLE, who was celebrated for his imagi-
native interiors. A gentleman of similar
dynamism and respect was DAVID BYERS,
a decorative arts lover who furnished many
a house on West Paces Ferry, including the
iconic Rhodes residence (Pink Palace), the
Governor’s Mansion and the Philip T. Shu-
tze collection at the Atlanta History Center.
Client education has always been a focus
for Billy Baldwin protégé STAN TOPOL,
whose attention to perfect proportions, ine
art and comfortable but exquisitely made
furniture—are perhaps a lost art. Similarly,
JOHN CRAFT is known for his unerring eye
for elegance, while the late Jim Essary and
Bill Cook of ESSARY & MURPHY, remain
celebrated for their reverence for tradition.
Few decorators will ever achieve the
level of admiration of DAN CARITHERS, and
in the ’90s (and beyond), his discriminat-
ing point of view set the scene for our city’s
toniest traditional residences. The designs
of design duo TOM HAYES and TOBY WEST
are similarly synonymous with gracious
Southern hospitality, with a little swagger.
A master at achieving that inviting
residential feel in commercial design (long
before “resimercial” was a buzzword),
HUGH LATTA’s insistence on infusing
reined comfort into hospitality design is
inspiring the next generation. Speaking of
the next generation, in the ’80s, CHARLES
GANDY and WILLIAM PEACE, with their
irm, Gandy/Peace, made waves in what was
then a city deined by tradition by ushering
in an era of cosmopolitan style for a rapidly
changing Atlanta. Their edited, contempo-
rary inluence soon multiplied, inspiring
then-budding designers such as BARBARA
WESTBROOK and AMY MORRIS to carry
their torch, each with their own tailored,
streamlined, but always inviting, approach.

significantly through the years—in the mid-1980s, I often
turned up at Christmas parties decked out in an ankle-
ǤǤ
length, plaid, taffeta skirt and a red boiled wool Geiger jacket
(I assure you it was considered modish at the time)—styles in
holiday entertaining have not altered much at all. Take party
food, for example. Spiral-cut hams, ham biscuits, sausage
balls, cheese straws and bourbon balls have graced Southern
dining tables and sideboards for as long as I can remember,
and I have a feeling they’ll continue to do so for decades to
come. Granted, faddish foods are sometimes added to the
repertoire (remember the craze for grits served in a marti-
ni glass, a.k.a. a Grit-tini, in the early 2000s?), but generally
speaking, we Southerners stick to tried-and-true classics that
are always crowd-pleasers.
The same goes for the types of holiday parties we host.
We know better than to experiment with outré themes and
outrageous settings. Afternoon teas, ladies luncheons and the
always popular cocktail parties are our preferred modes of
entertainment, but do you know which event I would love to
see make a comeback? Caroling parties! When was the last

Song”? Okay, so it might be a little old-fashioned, but if there

December and become the center of our holiday festivities.

INTERNATIONAL ESCAPE
AH&L slips inside the Common Ground development near the Beltline’s
Eastside Trail for a globally influenced experience WRITTEN BY Claire Ruhlin
INSPIRED BY THE YEARS his family lived in Paris as well as the Yucatan Peninsula, Scott
Wilkins says he sought to replicate the authentic experiences of each region inside the
Common Ground development’s new BeltLine-adjacent restaurant and retail experience.
Enter Bazati—which offers a European-inspired brasserie and specialty shops—and
Estrella, a Yucatan-inspired rooftop restaurant. Owned by Wilkins and operated by The
Diligence Company, the concepts sprawl to 7,000 square feet with lofty, 23-foot ceilings
and a spacious patio overlooking the Beltline. Bazati encompasses The Brasserie, a
Parisian-influenced eatery, and eight specialty retail kiosks. “The Brasserie is open all
day serving a full menu, and that’s what we do,” says Wilkins.
A lounge bar near the BeltLine entrance serves espresso, pastries and libations, and
features cozy seating (all of The Brasserie’s custom furniture was imported from Europe
and Latin America) that invite guests to read the newspaper, hold meetings or enjoy a
cappuccino. A second, larger bar caters to the evening crowd.
Led by chef Remi Granger, formerly of Inman Park’s Bread & Butterfly, the menu

skews French, featuring classic brasserie fare such as croque monsieur, duck
confit and Niçoise salad. The beverage program is rooted in French wines and
1920s French cocktails.
Behind the restaurant space is Bazati’s second component: eight specialty
shops offering products sourced from across the globe, many of which you’d
be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in the states. Expect everything from floral
arrangements from Atlanta-based The Fleur Shop and curated global wines
to books by German publisher Taschen and Yucatecan textiles from Mexican
brand Taller Maya.
“We wanted to create a large room that almost felt like a brasserie in a bus-
tling part of a city fronting a street or even fronting a train station so that you
have people coming in randomly or coming in as a destination,” Wilkins says.”
If you’re in a large train station, for example, you have all these little shops,
where you can pick up a newspaper, a gift or a book.”
Also internationally inspired is the rooftop restaurant, Estrella, which offers
skyline views and a breezy, coastal atmosphere evoking Miami, Yucatan and
the Caribbean. The airy space is awash with white, while hints of capri blue and
soft gray achieve “a very lively, beautiful, carefree but quietly sophisticated feel,”
Wilkins says. “It’s a place to escape and really be transported.”
An open-air bar, spacious patio and Yucatecan menu, helmed by chef Cam
Floyd, offer all the ingredients of a coastal getaway. Choose from shareable
plates and main dishes rooted in fresh ingredients and plenty of seafood—think
ceviche, tacos and lobster rolls. There’s also a robust sparkling wine list and
classic Latin American cocktails (don’t miss the hibiscus champagne punch).
“We hope downstairs will become a neighborhood go-to, a place you can
go any time of the day, whereas upstairs is more of a destination,” Wilkins says.
“This is an attempt to present something that looks, feels and tastes authentic.”

exactly what we wanted,” the wife explains: “a peaceful oasis.”
To help them strike the right chord, the two brought in Suzanne Kasler, a celebrat-
ed interior designer, author of three gorgeous design tomes and product designer of a
number of eponymous collections. “The house is timeless, but they wanted to make it
more fresh and modern inside,” Kasler explains.
In the soaring front foyer, she swapped out the original wooden railing in favor of a

chandelier relects light softly off of the metallic paint on the domed ceiling.

W WHEN A LOUISIANA COUPLE was ready

to downsize and plant new roots along Lake
Charles’ charmingly named Contraband
Bayou, they called in some outside help—
speciically, Atlanta-based design pros.
Drawn to the work of Historical Con-
cepts—an architecture and planning irm
headquartered in Atlanta and well versed
in the architectural heritage of the Deep
South—the couple sought out princi-
pal Terry Pylant to give life to their new
beginning. “They had this incredible home

was quite formal and didn’t it their needs
anymore,” says Pylant. “Their children now
have children so they wanted something
where they could entertain in a more
relaxed fashion.”
He and his team presented them with an
impressive Creole-style home that blends
tradition and comfort and is punctuated
with details informed by the region’s ver-
nacular. Exposed rafter tails on the home’s
exterior offer a classic touch, as does the
expansive open porch running the length of
the back of the home. Inside, high ceilings
allow natural light to lood the rooms while
dissipating heat and allowing for airlow.

Ireland’s Dromoland Castle pairs historic significance with
royal experiences Written by CLAIRE RUHLIN
IRELAND IS NOTHING IF NOT KNOWN FOR its iconic scen-

ery. Lush greenery, rolling hills and sweeping vistas—punctuated
by historic homes and castles—provide a sense of bucolic charm,
while coastal cliffs and rugged shorelines have become local at-
tractions for visitors hailing from across the globe. It’s a setting
that feels almost too magical to be real, and the best way to soak it
all in is via an authentically Irish experience at one of the region’s
most historic residences.
For a stay that’s as luxurious as it is authentic, look no further
than the recently renovated Dromoland Castle. Nestled on more
than 450 sprawling acres in Newmarket-on-Fergus, County Clare,
Dromoland offers all the history of a circa-16th century residence
and the comfort of a ive-star hotel.
As a guest at Dromoland, your views will include the sparkling
shores of Lough Dromoland and an 18-hole golf course. And as
soon as you set down your bags, expect to be treated like royalty by
the accommodating staff.

Embraced by a pair of giant volcanic arms that jut

LIVELY LISBON
Portugal’s coastal capital city presents panoramic views of centuries-old
architecture and rich traditions in design and cuisine Written by CAROLYN O’NEIL
L ISBON IS A POSTCARD-PERFECT CITY built on seven

hills overlooking the River Tagus (Rio Tejo) lowing to the
mighty Atlantic Ocean. Boasting centuries of history, the city re-
mains one of the most popular destinations for travelers today.
With a population of a half million, exploring Lisbon is easy
and inspiring; hilly walks or tram rides lead to terraces that serve
as miradouros, or viewpoints. One of the most spectacular views is
from the medieval São Jorge Castle, where the city’s red-tiled roofs
and pastel-colored buildings fan out to the river estuary beyond.
Decorative tilework is a hallmark of Lisbon’s architecture and
design. The National Azulejo Museum showcases ive centuries of
Portuguese ceramic tile, and all over Lisbon elaborately painted
tiles adorn the homes and businesses, Metro station walls, and
sidewalks. Ceramic shops are part of the streetscape, too, and are
illed with everything from lamps and trays to tiles and linens.

The cuisine and art of Portugal are both

Lisbon. Built in 1959 atop one of Lisbon’s
hills, the hotel boasts sweeping city views
and interiors that are embellished by more
than 400,000 square feet of Portuguese mar-
