THE BEAUTY SECRET OF THIS Peachtree Battle home’s “hers” bath, designed by Courtney Giles, began with the homeowner’s love of a certain countertop. “She called me and said, ‘I saw this beautiful pink marble, and I would love to use it in my bathroom,’” Giles says. “That was two years ago when construction was first starting. We didn’t have any idea what the bathroom was going to look like.” Giles paired the pink, taupe and white countertops with a pink desert marble tile from Waterworks, which she says was a perfect match. The addition of a custom quatrefoil border around the tile creates a center “rug” for the room. The petal-like motif continues in the metal chandelier and trim on the drapery
panels, lending itself to the bathroom’s feminine quality. “Finding tile to complement the pink slab was probably the biggest challenge,” Giles says. “Then, figuring out the rug design.” Cut mirrors line up with the vanity cabinetry and frame delicate sconces with custom pink shades. Details such as cutcrystal hardware from the Matthew Quinn Collection further enhance the bath’s feminine wiles, while the homeowner’s collection of antique silver jars, brushes and mirrors, along with a pink upholstered vanity chair, maintain old-fashioned charm in a modern setting. While Giles’ client wanted something different from the typical white bathroom, it was also important that the space avoid the look of a Barbie dream house. To that end, white Thassos marble covers the rest of the heated floors, while taupe walls provide a neutral backdrop for the pink palette of the countertops, floors and fabrics. The lines of the shapely freestanding tub add a modern verve while allowing the focus to remain on the tile work. It’s a clean space, Giles says, with refined old-school glamour. 15

SCALED TO SOPHISTICATION
Harrison Design’s Karen Ferguson brings intimacy and beauty to a sprawling master bath. PHOTOGRAPHED BY Sarah

NOT ONE TO FEEL OVERWHELMED by a large space, designer Karen Ferguson was instead emboldened by the dramatic scale of this Sandy Springs master bath. The 400-square-foot room was able to accommodate a long shower with multiple showerheads and sprays, a separate tub, dual vanities and a cozy seating area. The blue-gray palette of the Bianco Carrara marble shower walls set the tone for the rest of the lavish bath. “I worked from that corner out,” says Ferguson, director of the interior design studio at Harrison Design. “The marble panels in the shower lead to the wood panels in the bathroom, which makes it feel cozier and more intimate.” The bathroom, says Ferguson, was intended to feel like an extension of the living area and have the same personality as the rest of the home. The custom cabinetry is the same color
18
as the wood panels, while additional elements, such as walnut floors, a delicate chandelier, sheer Roman shades and Moattar rugs, create a tranquil retreat with a scale that remains intimate enough for two. “It’s not just a utilitarian space,” Ferguson says. “It’s a space where you can hang out and be comfortable.” A mix of metallic finishes adds layers of interest, while an antique floor mirror, made from wood with gold leaf, adds patina and a romantic air. The mirror, purchased in Los Angeles, stands tall behind a rectangular freestanding tub that commands attention, rather than disappearing in the substantial space. Soft curves soften the tub’s appearance, beckoning the homeowners to relax and rest. It’s a careful interplay between textures and shapes. “I think this space feels calm and serene because of the mix of materials and finishes,” Ferguson says.

The 2016 Luxury Living Show, presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles at Phipps Plaza, exhibited the freshest trends in kitchen, bath and outdoor living, offering a glimpse into what’s next.
F
or an upclose and personal look at the year’s most covetable trends, the seventhannual Luxury Living Show provided a hands-on showcase of the latest high-end products from across the globe. Presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles at Phipps Plaza, the 2016 exhibition was a study in understated elegance, featuring the expertly designed Dream Kitchen, Dream Bath and Outdoor Living Display—each as ultra-chic as its luxury fashion surroundings. Designed by Bell Kitchen & Bath Studios, the kitchen boasted a fresh, neutral palette complemented by thoughtful details and textured elements. “Our vision for this year’s design was to create a classic Atlanta kitchen that was sophisticated and elegant—but with a dash of unexpected flair,” says Courtney Foster Shearer, senior designer at Bell Kitchen & Bath Studios. Inset cabinetry, painted a glossy taupe, provides a dose of tailored interest, as do custom refrigerator doors (inspired by an Instagram photo of a pair of doors in Paris) and a weathered white oak hutch that feels more like a piece of furniture than kitchen storage. To counterbalance the cabinetry’s detail, a stunning Cambria marble was selected for both the backsplash and the countertops, imparting an understated yet chic touch.

INTERIOR DESIGNER BETH WEBB approaches each project with a steadfast rule: The home must reflect the personality of its owners. So when she spotted Lisa and Nick McKay’s impressive art collection during a visit to their home, Webb decided to make it the centerpiece of the home’s renovation—and for good reason. “The art is not only really stunning but it’s an intensely personal collection,” says Webb. All of varying sizes and mediums, the sculptures, maquettes and medals are by Lisa’s late grandfather, Henry Kreis, an accomplished German-born sculptor who immigrated to the United States in 1922. After studying at the BeauxArts Institute of Design in New York City, Kreis apprenticed with Paul Manship, a highly influential American sculptor. As an assistant to Manship, Kreis worked on Rockefeller Center’s world-famous Prometheus sculpture. He went on to have a highly regarded career himself, earning accolades and commissions across the country. “I have loved and coveted all his sculptures and other works since I was a child,” says Lisa. “My father recently passed on a very large portion of his collection to me at once, and I was at a loss on how to showcase them because I wanted each piece to be appreciated.” To make the artwork a focal point Webb added pedestals, shelving and other displays throughout the home to give the sculptures—once tucked into corners, relegated to the floor or even in storage—prominent viewing. And although there are countless works on display, including beautiful silk-screen prints by Lisa’s late grandmother, Patricia Alden Kreis, it never feels overwhelming, thanks to Webb’s thoughtful planning, no doubt influenced by her background in art history.

Webb came across the striking watercolor ostrich painting by Heather Lancaster via Spalding Nix Fine Art’s Instagram account. Its soft coloring was a perfect match for the room’s plaster and terra-cotta sculptures that are displayed on the new niche shelves. The sofas and pillows are from Bungalow Classic.

Style meets function in the combination livingdining room of this Buckhead residence by interior designer Melanie Turner and associate Jill Tompkins. To keep the aesthetic masculine, stylish, but also fresh, they began by selecting a bold Duralee fabric for the draperies; its pared down color palette influenced the home’s overall design direction. The dining table is by Amy Howard and the Klismos chairs are by Global Views.
