Southern Showstopper

The inaugural Southeastern Designer Showhouse & Gardens presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles showcased the talents of the region’s leading designers. Spanning 28,000 square feet, the English manor-style Buckhead abode conveyed gracious, Southern elegance at every turn.

All Dressed in White

Using John C. Portman Jr.’s signature paint color, “Portman White,” as their muse, seven area designers paid homage to the esteemed Atlanta architect and developer at AmericasMart’s July market with inspired vignettes. The hue—white, plus two dashes of red—is now available at Sherwin-Williams stores by request.
