Shayelyn Woodbery transforms a well-loved porch into a chic, family-friendly retreat

OR VICKIE AND TOM KIRBO, the screened porch of their Vinings home serves as a central gathering place for both entertaining friends and enjoying family time with their two children, Scott and Mary Cate. However, the space hadn’t been updated since the Kirbos renovated their home back in 2005, so the couple decided it was time for a much-needed style refresh. Vickie, who runs the fashion blog Kirb Your Style, wasted no time in calling upon designer Shayelyn Woodbery to transform the porch, along with the rest of their home. “Vickie wanted the new design to reflect her personal style and feel chic but very family-friendly at the same time,” says Woodbery. “She makes several trips a year to the West Coast for inspiration for her blog as well as personal shopping. I thought it would be fun to bring a little of that West Coast feeling to her porch: equal parts glam, laid-back family fun and chic.” Because the Kirbos wanted Woodbery to ultimately revamp
the entire house, the designer set out to create a look that could eventually be carried into the remainder of the home’s redesign. Using The Beverly Hills Hotel’s iconic jungle palm wallpaper as her jumping-off point, she incorporated a lively palm fabric from Fishman’s Fabrics into the drapery and pillows. Woodbery also replaced the original ceiling fans with bamboo light fixtures to continue the Hollywood Regency feel and make “the space more of a room and less an isolated outdoor area.” The bold print and West Coast styles determined the rest 20

of the room’s palette of green, black, yellow, camel and white. Vintage rattan chairs—covered in a chic, black Sunbrella fabric—add texture, as does an antique milliners table. “We loved how the green-and-white painted inscription on the top works perfectly with the color story, and its length allows for a great dinner party,” says Woodbery. Because there are doors leading to the porch from both the family and breakfast rooms, the Kirbos plan to use their porch as an extension of both spaces—whether watching sports, enjoy-
ing a meal or hosting guests. “I’m really inspired when I am able to help support a family in creating a space that reflects who they are,” says Woodbery, “one that they want to be in not only because it looks good but [because it] feels good too.”

RENEWAL JONATHAN SAVAGE transforms one family’s ’80s abode into a retreat as timeless as it is cosmopolitan Written by KATE ABNEY Photographed by EMILY FOLLOWILL Floral Design by JANE SLOAN
Layered Luxe An outdated Nashville residence saw a dramatic architectural and interior transformation at the hands of local designer Jonathan Savage, who sourced a majority of the fabrics and furnishings in Atlanta. “I was inspired by a French salon,” Savage says of the light-filled family room, which features a GP & J Baker floral fabric on tight-back arm chairs; a coffee table repurposed from a gate procured from a property in Rue de Lille, Paris; and linen window treatments adorned with a hand-painted border by Coleman & Taylor Textiles. One of Savage’s most dramatic moves was to replace the original transom-topped windows with fully operable French doors built by Vintage Millworks.

Enveloped in Elegance
The dining room received a dramatic, modern-day update with the addition of several conversation-sparking elements—most notably Carleton V Ltd.’s Deco Fret wallpaper that continues the diamond pattern seen in the adjacent kitchen’s cabinet door fronts. “I think it made the space feel cozy, kind of like a New York City pied-à-terre dining room, which is fun to see in Nashville,” says Savage, who also used a Carleton V Ltd. fabric on the dining chair backs. The chandelier is made from “Murano glass in the perfect color,” the designer adds. “It kept that traditional but clean concept going, and it’s not overpowering.” The dark-stained demilune tables are from Northgate Gallery Antiques in Brentwood, Tennessee, the artwork over the fireplace is by EMYO, available through Gregg Irby Gallery in Atlanta, and the tonal rug is by Patterson Flynn Martin.
the frequent site of business meetings is paneled in the same rich wood. Though the homeowners did not give Savage carte blanche in the literal sense, “I feel like we didn’t skimp; everything was done for a reason, and we stuck to our concept,” explains the designer, who sourced most of the home’s luxurious furnishings and fabrics at ADAC in Atlanta. “Every room in the house has its own identity with color, but subtly,” says Savage, who also brought in a plethora of animal prints. Even a forlorn space over the garage became a chic and fun game room under Savage’s direction. “These clients could have moved anywhere if they wished,” Savage says. “So when they decided to stay put, we had just one responsibility: Make it the best it could be.” See Resources, Back of Book. 97

Dressed in Blue The royal blue La Cornue range is the centerpiece of the renovated, open-concept kitchen. “Since the range has brass and chrome details, I designed the hood to reflect that same detailing, which can also be found in the custom two-toned hardware from Matthew Quinn and the light fixtures from Urban Electric,” says Papadopoulos. 119

living and dining rooms together. Coordinating bright-green upholstered antique and swan chairs, as well as the dining room’s striking polar bear art, sourced from a museum in London, adds a youthful touch to the gracious spaces. However, the green and blue teamwork is most notable in the master bedroom— the grande dame of the home. Proposing the lattice wallpaper by Carleton V Ltd. from Ainsworth-Noah was originally a wild-card option Papadopoulos pitched to her client. But once again, she was thrilled by the homeowner’s enthusiasm for such a bold choice. “Carrying the navy-and-green vibe throughout the house gave us an opportunity to incorporate the navy grass cloth on the ceiling. We really kept with that color palette through a variety of shades and textures,” she says. “The homeowner wanted some serious pattern on the walls, and I knew this lattice print would put a smile on her face every morning.” See Resources, Back of Book 123

T’S HARD NOT TO FALL IN LOVE with South Carolina’s Lowcountry, a region characterized by ancient live oak trees, glistening marshes, wide beaches and crashing ocean surf. This romance is perhaps most alluring on Kiawah Island, which is sited just 21 miles from the city of Charleston. The 10,000-acre gated community is accessible only to property owners and their guests, island employees, resort guests, vacation guests and commercial customers. Visitors enjoy 10 miles of pristine beaches and over 30 miles of paved trails, as well as a private club seven elite golf courses, including two of the top 100 residential courses in the U.S. and a renowned golf course that has hosted the Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship, which it will host again in 2021. Vacationers looking for private quarters may rent out homes or villas, while those looking for amenities and dining options at arm’s reach can stay in the island’s luxury hotel, The Sanctuary. While seasonal visitors make up plenty of the island’s population, many of Kiawah’s inhabitants are part- and full-time homeowners. Kiawah property owners have the exclusive option to join the Kiawah Island Club, a private membership club that offers access to select amenities and venues, including the Sasanqua Spa (don’t

Though it’s home to jaw-dropping luxury homes and amenities, Kiawah’s landscape feels almost undeveloped; in fact, developer Kiawah Partners works alongside the Kiawah Conservancy to uphold the master plan established in 1975, which focuses on balancing the built world of architecture and its natural setting. And there’s certainly no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy—whether its biking on the beach and island trails, kayaking the salt marshes, embarking on deep-sea fishing excursions, teeing off on one of the island’s golf courses, indulging in luxury spa services or simply soaking it all up beachside. kiawahisland.com clockwise, from above Kiawah is home to premier golf courses overlooking the island’s postcard-worthy scenery. Kayaking tours on the island’s sprawling marshes are among the many options of outdoor adventures. The Cassique Clubhouse is accessible to members of the Kiawah Island Club.

Club members and their guests have access to two of the top 100 residential courses in the United States. The 7,050yard, links-style CASSIQUE GOLF COURSE is situated where the Kiawah River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Eight holes of the 7,039-yard RIVER COURSE extend along the rambling Kiawah River and Bass Pond. A Golf Learning Center offers a digital practice range that measures improvement and progress.
