MEG HARRINGTON AND ANN HUFF “We fell madly in love with the guesthouse the minute we walked in,” says Meg Harrington of Huff Harrington Home. “It needed a major face-lift but nothing that a little imagination and Sherwin-Williams Alabaster paint couldn’t fix.” She and business partner Ann Huff created a collected feel by layering romantic pieces—a glass and Lucite coffee table from the 1970s, eye-catching circular wooden chairs, and a sleek white resin waterfall console topped with a spectacular 19th-century Louis mirror—that evoke decades of styles and hint at Huff Harrington’s trademark French sensibilities. To make the space feel even more open and light, the duo skipped window treatments, allowing natural light to illuminate the high-beamed room. “It felt very appropriate to ditch anything covering the windows,” says Harrington.

PATRICIA MCLEAN Patricia McLean embraced the long, narrow living room with a series of vignettes harmonized by her signature layering of antiques and fabrics. “There’s a place for quiet. There’s a place for interaction,” says McLean, the 2016 showhouse’s honorary co-chair. Her designs typically emanate from textiles, and the showhouse is no exception. A serpentine Lee Jofa fabric with reds, pinks and browns features on a custom table hiding a heat register, as well as the draperies, chairs and pillows. The tree-of-life pattern joins fabrics from Duralee, Brunschwig & Fils and Pindler, and timeless accessories like tortoise. Creams and caramels on the walls and ceilings capture natural light in a space truly meant for all ages.

LIZ WILLIAMS Inspired by Burt Farm’s lush grounds—visible just outside the dining room’s bay window—designer Liz Williams brought the outdoors in, decorating the space with floral prints and pops of fresh green. Thibaut’s Nemour fabric, used on the drapery and dining chairs, combines both of these elements. “It seemed fitting for the mountains because it is a traditional floral but with unusual and updated colors mixing green and gray,” says the designer. To balance the room’s low ceiling and add interest, Williams covered the walls with a woven wallcovering showcasing a geometric pattern, which serves as the backdrop for an assortment of artwork.

“People know this house as it is viewed from Habersham Road. Nestled into the landscape and mostly hidden by trees, one can see only a small jewel box of a portico from the street, which is precisely how we wanted to build it back. Luckily, most of the vegetation around the house remained intact,� says Dixon.

WHEN A DEVASTATING FIRE demolished one of Buckhead’s most treasured historic homes, the tragedy was transformed into a happy ending—even earning two elite architectural awards—thanks to the firm of D. Stanley Dixon Architect. The Neel Reid–designed residence perched between Habersham and Vernon Roads was known to Gerry Hull since he was a boy. When it was razed to its foundation following the fire in 2014, it was scarcely a day before Hull, its owner for a decade, vowed to rebuild. “There was no way I could have envisioned another house on this site,” he says. “The Hulls called on us because of our experience and respect for renovations of other historic homes in the neighborhood,” firm principal Stan Dixon explains. “They knew we would have the right sensitivity to bring the house back to Neel Reid’s original intention.”

The stove hood and I-beams, originally raw steel, were given a patinated finish to add age and texture. right Custom hexagonal slate tiles, designed by Sheehan, add a natural and functional stone element to the minimal foyer and mudroom.
