Interior designer Alison Womack Jowers

Interior designer Alison Womack Jowers was dating the homeowner, Jay Jowers when she started working on this Buckhead home. And, like in a fairy tale, they eventually married just before completing her work. So, she actually had time to include her own personal preferences.<br /><br /><br /><br />Classic and elegant . Come and have a look.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_043final_0.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 487px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_080final.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_085final_0.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_030final.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 678px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_121finalnew.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_072final.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_114final.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 737px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_052final.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_012final.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 668px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_020final.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 668px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_101final.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 668px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/gallery_images/100609_095final.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 668px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />

French Style in Atlanta

This Parisian style home belongs to Ginny and Paul Williams. Located in Buckhead, Atlanta, it was decorated by interior designer Meridy King. Bearing in mind that the couple has four children, very washable fabrics and slipcovers were chosen.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_2.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 421px;" /><br />In the sitting room a combination of old and new with French armchairs, metal benches with velvet tops, a modern sofa and mirrored coffee table from Mrs. Howard . Framed intaglios hang above the chest in the corner. The walls were treated with a lime wash that was shipped from California.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_3.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 434px;" /><br />On the other side of the room, a pair of distressed painted cabinets flank the fireplace. The window treatments were hung as high as possible and then dropped to the floor to give the illusion of more height. Small Chinese prayer benches add interest and are usually chosen by the kids to sit on.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_4.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 599px;" /><br />Close up of one of the cabinets by the fireplace.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_5.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 430px;" /><br />In the kitchen, old clock hands from Scott Antique Market are displayed on the hood which go well with the rustic light fixture. Black walnut countertop for the island with barstools tucked completely under.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_6.jpg" style="width: 401px; height: 618px;" /><br />The garden gate is made from forged wrought iron.<br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_7.jpg" style="width: 402px; height: 807px;" /><br />A piece of art by Kenson hangs in the dining room.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_8.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 427px;" /><br />Slipcovered chairs around the glass top table in the dining room.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_9.jpg" style="width: 402px; height: 608px;" /><br />This antique door, found at Angie Tyner Antiques, was left in its original state. It is extremely heavy so a track had to be built above it to allow it to easily slide back and forth like a barn door.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/sites/default/files/images/3/article_inline/1968_10.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 432px;" /><br />A very French and serene master bedroom. Here again to make the ceiling feel higher, the curtains hang close to it and go all the way down to the floor.<br /><br />All images and information from <a href="http://www.atlantahomesmag.com/">here</a>.

Interior Designer Jill Brinson

Today we are visiting interior desinger Jill Brinson's renovated cottage home in Atlanta. Hard to believe it is in the heart of a busy city and stands next to a 20-story apartment building. A mix of rustic, traditional and industrial styles, you will see salvaged beams, Moroccan tapestries, steel windows and doors, and lots of different textures.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/G3/brinson-10-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 502px; height: 392px;" /><br />The outdoor sofa and ottomans were painted gray and upholstered in taupe Sunbrella to harmonize with the stone terrace.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/GD/brinson-1-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 463px; height: 591px;" /><br />A nine-foot-tall steel door replaced a wood door in the entry. The floor is reclaimed French limestone.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/ta/brinson-2-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 463px; height: 591px;" /><br />Designer Jill Sharp Brinson and her husband, Rob, renovated the 1936 cottage's old barn beams to define the living room loft and used steel shelves to hold books.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/cH/brinson-3-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 460px; height: 587px;" /><br />A Moroccan tapestry hangs from the living room loft, between mirrored sconces. The antique French industrial table is one of a pair — the other one is in the entry.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/k1/brinson-4-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 556px; height: 435px;" /><br />Three layers of white mixed with gray, and a spray-on lacquer finish for the dining room's wall to wall hutch. Dishes are displayed behind chicken wire. Wicker chairs and industrial style table. A Moroccan necklace drapes a mirrored bottle.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/wS/brinson-5-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 500px; height: 391px;" /><br />A stone faux-bois dining table from France and iron gazebo from Anthropologie sit at the end of the gravel driveway. Brinson planted waves of clipped boxwood, magnolia, hydrangea, anise, and holly to screen out the 20-story building just 15 feet away.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/AU/brinson-6-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 500px; height: 638px;" /><br />In the kitchen, the tile top on the Martha Stewart table was replaced with Georgia marble. A 14-foot-high arched steel window and door adds drama to the room.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/D7/brinson-7-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px;" /><br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/n5/brinson-8-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 601px; height: 470px;" /><br />One doorway in the living room is framed with salvaged barn beams, the other with traditional wood trim. Floors are limed ash.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/Ah/brinson-9-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 507px; height: 647px;" /><br />In the library, antique French shutters serve as closet doors.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/8k/brinson-11-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 603px; height: 472px;" /><br />Upper cabinets were not used in the kitchen so as not to block the view of the garden. The Dijon mustard-coloured slop sink was an online find. <span style="visibility: visible;" id="main"><span style="visibility: visible;" id="search">A slop sink was originally used and designed for filling and emptying scrub pails, rinsing out mops or soaking laundry. Here it is just used as an every day kitchen sink.<br /><br /></span></span><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/Rs/brinson-12-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 501px; height: 640px;" /><br />Library walls are upholstered in a crewel fabric from Brinson's extensive textile collection. An array of interesting items are displayed on these old Polish factory shelves.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/Qs/brinson-13-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 501px; height: 640px;" /><br />An antique French writing table is paired with a wing chair.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/HE/brinson-14-de.jpg" style="top: -5px; left: -6px; width: 502px; height: 392px;" /><br />No curtains required in the master bedroom: The garden screens the room from view. Brinson added steel testers, to raise the bed height, and designed adjustable clip-on reading lights.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/VI/brinson-15-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 501px; height: 640px;" /><br />The design of the sink base is adapted from a French draper's table Brinson saw in Provence. Faucets in Tuscan Brass complement the antique look.<br /><br /><img id="fb_image" src="http://www.housebeautiful.com/cm/housebeautiful/images/Da/brinson-16-de.jpg" style="top: -55px; left: 44px; width: 501px; height: 640px;" /><br />The Waterworks Cambridge tub was a birthday gift from Brinson's husband. "I wanted it to feel like a trough in an old barn, with the faucet coming directly out of the wall." A mirrored cabinet hides a television.<br /><br />Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. See you tomorrow!<br />All images from <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautiful</a>.
