CHRISTMAS
HOUSE
INSIDE SCOOP
AtlantaChristmasHouse.com
is now live! Visit often for
continuous updates of this
spectacular event, which
begins November 26!
Fall is a time for fresh beginnings, and this issue show-
cases new homes that were built from scratch. There’s just
something special (yet hard to define) about a new house—it’s
kind of like when you buy a new automobile and get the bonus
of that “new car” smell. It’s exciting, plain and simple.
Although there are obvious interior and exterior differences
among the three houses featured this month—one is contem-
porary, another is classically inspired and the other melds rus-
ticity with urban flair—certain similarities appear in each.
For starters, comfort reigns supreme. Each home also excels in
proper scale and proportion according to its style of architec-
ture. With that, there’s no doubt that the guidance of talented
design professionals helped bring the homeowners’ dreams to
fruition. But, most importantly, each home reflects the per-
sonal tastes, passions and interests of those who live there. And
what more could one ask for?

MY OWN HOME REFLECTS A LOVE
OF…art and design.
MY FAVORITE ROOM IN MY HOME
IS…the sitting room near our
bedroom.
EVERY HOME NEEDS...to have
good design, whether it is a
well-designed tea kettle, place-
mats or sheets for the bed.
THE BEST PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE
IN ATLANTA IS…any of the Philip
Johnson buildings.
WHEN I GET AN UNEXPECTED DAY
TO MYSELF, I LIKE TO…do nothing.
I GET MY BEST INSPIRATION
14 ATLANTAHOM ES MAG.COM
FROM…other people’s input.
THE ONE THING I CAN’T LIVE WITH-
OUT IS…my husband, Morton.
MY FAVORITE MUSEUM IN THE
WORLD IS…the Guggenheim.
MY FAVORITE WAY TO ENTERTAIN
AT HOME IS…having informal
dinners on my terrace.
WHAT I’M MOST LOOKING FOR-
WARD TO ABOUT OUR NEW LOCA-
TION IS…attracting the design
population.
WHAT SURPRISES MOST PEOPLE
ABOUT MODA IS…our ability to
attract outstanding exhibitions.
left MODA presents Atlanta: Beyond
Bricks & Sticks at the Gwinnett
Environmental and Heritage Center
through December 18. The exhibition,
which has traveled the city—from the
World of Coca-Cola, CNN Center and
Atlanta City Hall to Phipps Plaza and
Lenox Square—spotlights the metro
area’s many outstanding design
examples and tells the stories of the
people who live, work, learn and play in
the city’s sustainable structures.
Components include an interactive
Atlanta Green Map, a “What is Your
Carbon Footprint?” quiz and video
interviews, an intimate look at student
life at DeKalb County’s LEED Silver
Certified Arabia Mountain High School
and many other features that explain
and celebrate green living. above In
January, the MODA will open its doors
for Passione Italiana: Design of the
Italian Motorcycle, its first exhibit at the
new location. bottom In summer 2011,
MODA will present the exhibition
“Water Dream: Experience the
Bathroom Like Never Before,” which
will highlight the best in bathroom
design like this example from
Hansgrohe. Also, MODA’s “9 for
Design” membership campaign, in
which museum membership starts at
$9, continues through December 31.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MIDTOWN
IS…the arts community.
WHAT I’LL MISS ABOUT DOWN-
TOWN IS…the door people at
the Marriott Marquis.
THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON MY
WORK HAS BEEN…all the young
people interested in design.
MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR QUIET
CONTEMPLATION IS…my home.
I have a beautiful terrace gar-
den, which is an extremely
peaceful place.
MY SUNDAY ROUTINE IS…to wake
up around 9 a.m., read The New
York Times and The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, eat a light lunch
then catch up on some read-
ing. After organizing my
thoughts on the upcoming
week, weather permitting, take
a walk with my husband. Din-
ner will be something more
complicated, something I
would not have time to pre-
pare during the week.
IF I COULD PRODUCE A DREAM EX-
HIBITION, IT WOULD BE…one in
which I would not have to
worry about the budget.
THE PLACE I LOVE TO TRAVEL TO
MOST IS…Italy. I’m passionate
about all things Italian, from
food and design to the warm
and friendly people. Also Cali-
fornia, where I visit my daugh-
ter, son-in-law and my
six-year-old grandchild.
MY FAVORITE PURCHASE FROM
THE PAST YEAR WAS…a woven
tapestry ceremonial coat made

out of opulent material. The
coat has smiling skull faces
whose eyes are made out of
agate beads. The main material
of the jacket is freshwater pearls
and the thread is silk metallic.

FOR THE LATEST EVENTS
SHOWS
 Lagerquist Gallery
AROUND TOWN, VISIT returns to its roots with a
ATLANTAHOMESMAG.COM
show featuring Dale Ray-
burn, the first artist the
gallery ever represented.
Gallery owner Kay Bragg
discovered his work nearly
40 years ago on a trip to
Piedmont Park and the two
have been friends since.
Known for his bold and
stirring approach to figura-
tion—with works en-
sconced in a number of
museum collections
throughout the United
States—his oils, monotypes
and etchings have an air of
mystery, an intensity of
emotion and fastidious
attention to color and de-
tail. 10/14-11/2. (404) 261-8273;

 ANDRE PETTERSON, PRYOR FINE ART
 Relationships between
the interior mind and exte-
rior world are examined in
the photographs of Julie
Sims and Yukari Umekawa,
on view at Whitespace this
month. Sims investigates
thought processes and
anatomy with her photo-
graphs of intricate con-
structions, while Umeka
uses the precise focus of a
pinhole camera to create
images she then manipu-
lates based on current
moods. 10/15-11/20. (404)

 Pryor Fine Art joins
Atlanta Celebrates Photog-
raphy with an exhibition
featuring local artists John
Folsom and Andre Petter-
son, both of whom fuse
traditional photography
with other media to create
bold and layered works.
Folsom’s landscapes have
an impossibly perfect, sur-
real quality, resulting in
part from an amalgamation
of slightly disparate images.
Petterson’s works explore
the properties of light to
create a sense of mystery,
also exuding a fascination
with fabric and movement.
10/8-10/29. (404) 352-8775;

 Two artists take the spot-
light at Hagedorn Founda-
tion Gallery, including
gallery owner and photog-
rapher Paul Hagedorn, who
debuts his “Peachtree Bat-
tle” series, which explores
the dichotomy of childhood
play and danger, as well as
perception and reality.
Meanwhile, artist Lisa
Kereszi presents semi-ab-
stract, compositional pho-
tographs of cast-oΩ cultural
objects. Through 10/26. Addi-
tionally, exhibitions by pho-
tographers Amir Zaki and
Santiago Vanegas open at
Hagedorn at the end of this
month; artist talks by both
on 10/28 start at 7 p.m.

 The joyous works of
Chattanooga-based artist
Carylon Killebrew are on
view at dk Gallery this
month in a solo exhibition
celebrating Southern
scenery. Comprising paint-
ings, mixed media works
and sculptures, her imagery
is altogether soft, colorful
and inspired. Farm scenes,
boats, organic fruits and
vegetables, and more are
both nostalgic and naturally
suited to a variety of inte-
rior spaces. 10/1-10/31. (770)

 Muse & Co., formerly
known as the Timothy
Michael Gallery, celebrates
its grand opening in his-
toric Roswell on October 2.
The event—which will in-
clude art, music, tasty fare
and libations—will intro-
duce guests to the gallery’s
impressive roster of emerg-
ing and established artists,
working in media ranging
from sculpture to perform-
ance art. This charity
benefit will also educate

premier artists when craft
beers, small bites and a live

new talent Svetlana Shaly-
gina—known for abstract
figurative paintings with a
strong linear quality—at
this rollicking “Arts & Ale”

medium. Traditional turned
vessels by venerated locals
Marc Granberry, David
King and Matt and Philip
Moulthrop are joined by
international talents such
as Jack Slentz, George Pe-
terson and Roger Asay, who
emphasize the raw, hand-
hewn marks of their tools
in each work. Simon Levy
and Joel Urruty, on the
other hand, use a heavy
application of finishes to
nearly mask the natural
appearance of the wood.
Unglazed fired ceramic
pieces by Simon Levin,
Kenyon Hansen and Tom

MUSEUMS
 Continuing this month at
the Atlanta History Center,
the Abraham Lincoln
Bicentennial exhibition,
“With Malice Toward
None,” commemorates the
200th anniversary of the
president’s birth and
chronicles his journey from
prairie lawyer to political
powerhouse. Addressing
Lincoln’s private realm as
much as the monumental
issues he faced as a leader—
from slavery to Civil War
and Reconstruction—the
exhibit uses artifacts of the
day to paint an intimate
portrait of this revered
statesman. The museum is
the only venue in the South
to host this traveling exhi-
bition organized by the
Library of Congress.
Through 11/7. (404) 814-4000;

 At the Museum of De-
sign Atlanta this month,
Kristofer Laméy—indus-
trial designer, artist and
past Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles
“20 under 40” honoree—
presents select limited-edi-
tion works culled from his
private collectors. Highly
interested in the physical
qualities of materials,
Laméy highlights the rela-
tionships between forms
and their environments
and examines the conflicts
created by human relation-
ships with industrial ob-
jects. 10/1-10/30. The artist
will also be present at the
museum throughout De-
sign Week, held October
26-30, to answer questions
and explain the context of
his work. (404) 979-6455;

 OCT.10 HOMES

At the culmination of one of Georgia’s hottest summers

on record, October invites us to finally get outside again
and enjoy our outdoor spaces. That’s exactly why we’re so
smitten with the succeeding trio of architectural gems, all
of which play up the beauty of their natural surroundings.
For a modern Morningside dwelling with a Dutch Colo-
nial spin, architect BRADLEY HEPPNER and interior de-
signer AMY MORRIS installed an unadorned neutral scheme
amid clean lines and loads of natural light. With the aid of
rustic touches and rooms that stretch almost impercepti-
bly into the outdoors, they’ve established a sense of har-
mony for a busy family of four. Designer BETH WEBB and
architect PETER BLOCK took a similar tack at an Edwin Lu-
tyens-inspired home in Buckhead, where tactile textures
and plentiful windows imbue constant continuity with the
exterior. And in the case of a second home along Lake
Oconee, designer GRETCHEN EDWARDS and HARRISON
DESIGN ASSOCIATES brought the essence of the lush lake-
side scenery in, incorporating earthy materials and creat-
ing comfortable seating groups to give its homeowners the
ultimate relaxing retreat.

41
 “The Hartleys are of the form and function mindset,” says designer Amy Morris. “Our
goal was to keep everything simple. The whole point of the house was not to have
room that was not used.” The living room, which doubles as a family room, is a fitting
example of this conceit. Sleek but comfortable furnishings were incorporated into
the space and fun, cowhide-covered “X” benches instantly lighten up the look and
add modern appeal. A vivid citron canvas by Sidney Guberman brings the whole
scheme to life. opposite “The stairwell was Brad’s genius,” adds Morris. Fronted by
a massive steel window matching that on the opposite wall, it forms the sculptural
centerpiece of the room and provides a much cleaner look than a traditional
millwork staircase would have.

SIMPLICITY
DESIGNER AMY MORRIS AND
ARCHITECT BRADLEY HEPPNER
TEAM UP TO CREATE A MODERN-
INFLECTED HOME THAT
STILL PAYS HOMAGE TO THE
ARCHITECTURE OF ITS
TRADITIONAL SURROUNDINGS

 Since it’s used for everything from morning meals to
lively evening gatherings, the dining room needed to
be both inviting and versatile. A mix of seating styles
plays to this function, while walls of windows let in
light and allow the family to take in the lush outdoor
views from every vantage point. Reclaimed wood
ceiling beams and a fireplace contribute tremendous
warmth while a four-foot table extension makes room
for larger, more formal occasions.

m
Morningside dwellers Mia and John Hartley called upon
architect Bradley Heppner to design the modern home of their
dreams in their predominantly traditional Midtown neighborhood.
Though its streets are dotted by the masterworks of Crook and Reed,
the house they share with their two daughters stands out among the
flock for its unique combination of architectural references.
While its façade maintains a traditional silhouette, the modern
concrete structure is freshened by a coat of pure white plaster and
steep gables, reminiscent of Dutch colonial buildings found in the
West Indies and influenced by the modern agrarian architecture of
Australia’s Glenn Murcutt. By connecting the traditional front por-
tions of the residence with more modern, barrel-shaped elements on
the posterior, Heppner was able to integrate light in a way that feels
modern and clean while combining both aesthetics seamlessly.
For the interior design, Heppner brought Amy Morris on board
early, the two having worked together on several previous projects.
Even though this was one of Morris’ first contemporary assignments,
the architect knew she would be the ideal fit. “Amy is great at blend-
ing a sense of tradition with a modern aesthetic,” he explains. “Even
her traditional homes have a very modern feel to them. I knew she
would fit well with what we were trying to do with this house.”
Mia—who prefers to dress in basic shades of black, white and
taupe—wanted much the same color scheme for her home. Her re-
quest was to create a super-functional modern house in black and
white, one with as little ornamentation as possible: simple lines, no
rugs, no window treatments, if possible, and above all, no fluΩ. “I
don’t like a lot of clutter, and I don’t like a lot of busy stuΩ,” she notes.
“We appreciate a simplicity of design, for everything to have a prac-
tical, pragmatic use.”
This absence of excess presented a design challenge for the inte-
riors, but not one that Morris wasn’t eager to surmount. To expand
upon the neutral scheme yet keep the look simple, she used the home-
owners’ favorite contemporary art by Martin Dawe as well as a vivid
45
 “AMY WILL ALMOST DESIGN A HOUSE TO BE AN
ACCESSORY TO A CLIENT. KNOWING THE
CLIENTS AND HAVING BEEN ABLE TO GO BACK
SINCE THEY MOVED IN. I THINK THIS HOUSE
REALLY LOOKS LIKE THEM.”
—BRADLEY HEPPNER

A high clerestory ceiling allows light to radiate throughout this homey

kitchen. “There’s a real hesitancy when you design a 16-foot ceiling,
that you’re going to feel lost in a space,” notes Heppner, “but I think
that the architectural curves make this room feel warm and
comfortable.” To keep things durable and easy to clean, Morris
selected practical quartz countertops and used tight grout joints
between tiles, while energy-efficient appliances improve day-to-day
functionality. Acres of storage were also built into the custom walnut
cabinetry which, set against several light-colored surfaces, creates a
super-graphic look. For a finishing touch, iridescent ceramic tiles that
Morris sourced tirelessly for this project have a look as luminous as
mother of pearl. opposite Designer Amy Morris

 Scant gray linen scrims add surprise in the living space. “We didn’t originally plan for them,
but I felt that if we didn’t have a rug, we would have to have window treatments,” Morris
explains. “These serve to anchor the room and keep this gathering spot from feeling like
it is floating.” opposite The architecture was equally well-conceived, and maintains harmony
with the interiors, too. “It was about indulging Mia’s desire to have very modern forms while
tying that into the traditional fabric of the neighborhood,” notes Heppner. “The lines in and
outside the house reference each other constantly,” Morris adds.

yellow canvas by Sidney Guberman. Adding to a foundation of the
client’s contemporary furnishings, Morris incorporated many pieces
with a feminine touch, such as gracefully sloping Donghia armchairs
and an open-back Holly Hunt banquette. A few custom pieces from
Amy D. Morris Interiors—including a bed, dining table and bedside
tables—anchor the mix with strong, masculine shapes while the sim-
plest of window treatments contributes softness.
To keep the rooms light, bright and minimalistic, nine-inch white
oak planks were used on all the floors while similar nine-inch tim-
bers appear on the home’s crowning element—a staircase that’s more
a sculptural art piece than a utilitarian fixture. To frame it, Heppner
installed a steel window just like the one on the opposite wall, an art-
ful addition that also eliminated the need for an additional hand rail-
ing. Even more remarkably, he devised a “trap door” to the basement
below; concealed unassumingly within the floor, it can be lifted via a
pulley to reveal the stairway to the cellar below.
Mia also had clear directives for the dining area. “In our previous
house, we had a formal dining room and a formal living room that were
never used,” she explains. “I wanted a space that we used every day to be
very inviting.” Because it triples as a breakfast area, dining room and materials that were made by hand into the house. It still feels clean

 The flattened roofline of the dining room extends to an inviting covered
terrace, lending visual continuity to this very private outdoor space. Just

who gave the homeowners smart and sustainable landscaping to match
their modern aesthetic.

almost exclusively with the exception of the kitchen, where task light-
ing was needed. The natural hub of the house, this room was ren-
dered highly functional thanks to roomy ebonized walnut cabinetry
and a clerestory ceiling to let light in where it’s needed most.
The upstairs was devoted to the girls, who get their own sleeping
quarters as well as communal spaces to hang out, study and work on
school projects. Outdoors, Heppner worked with landscape architect
John Howard to create a level playing field for the courtyard and
modular pool elements. Located just oΩ a pool terrace that extends vi-
sually from the flat-ceilinged dining room, it is accessible by several
doors that open wide, essentially blurring the lines between indoors
and out. Walls of windows also play to this theme by letting in lots of
natural light. And because the family didn’t want a yard to tend to,
the surrounding landscaping was designed to be self-sustaining.
Perhaps the best indication of the home’s success is how well it
lives. “When you walk through the house, it feels so right. The scale
is so right. Every room has a purpose,” Morris says.
“Everything in the house works just perfectly for us. I tell Brad all
the time that I’m amazed every day by how well it suits us,” echoes
Mia. “I love looking at it and I love living in it. There’s nothing I wish
I had done diΩerently or would want to change.”
It is that sort of reception, as every design team knows, that is the
ultimate mark of success. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

51
 In order to eliminate the impression of a basement
stairway, Heppner developed a concealed door
within the floor that can be lifted via a pulley
system. “It’s counterweighted. The way we have it
balanced, it’s very simple,” he explains. “You lift it
the way you would lift the hatch of an old root cellar
in the Northeast.” opposite Upstairs, the two girls
have their own bedrooms and share a jack-and-jill
bathroom, as well as a TV room and an illuminated
project area at which to do homework.

on, the homeowners made a point that they did not like window treatments,”
notes Morris. “But since the master bedroom was at the front [of the house], I
knew we would have to use them. I think they work because they were so simply
done; they were simple linen panels, with no details.” below Horizontally placed,

There∏here are a lot of new houses in Atlanta that are built to look
old, but there are few that actually exude an air of permanence and a
sense of longevity. The new Buckhead home of JeΩ and Lisa Martin,
and their three active teenage sons, is one that succeeds at both.
Much of the credit goes to the design team assembled to create
the English-style, Edwin Lutyens-inspired home which replaced a
forlorn 1950s ranch that previously occupied the grounds. Designer
Beth Webb, architect Peter Block, builders Shaba Derazi and Jim
Meathe of Y.M. Derazi Custom Homes and landscape architect John
Howard were the Martins’ collaborators of choice in creating a new
“old” house—one filled with energy and life, and well-suited for a
modern family. Much of the home’s energy and life, in fact, comes
from the natural light that floods the residence throughout the day.
“All of the major rooms of the house have windows on at least two
sides, if not three,” says Block. “When you look out from almost any
area, you see some exterior portion of the house. There is a sense of
privacy but also a sense of connectedness and openness to the out-
doors.” For example, the motor court is cut into the land and, when
the great room’s three sets of French doors are opened wide, the out-
door area becomes another “room” for entertaining. On the other
side of the same space, a loggia—complete with an outdoor kitchen,
58
living and dining areas, as well as a TV and fireplace—also blurs the
line between indoors and out.
That sort of modern-day flexibility was something that Webb max-
imized to its fullest advantage. “This is a family whose priorities are
straight,” she says. “Designing this house wasn’t about show or fluΩ. It
was about creating a comfortable house that would meet every need,
and grow and change with them.” Throughout the home’s public spaces,
palettes remain neutral but Webb energized them through her fabric
selections for the custom upholstery and window treatments.
“Texture is so important,” she says. “It makes things warm in an
otherwise virtual taupe landscape. To give a monochromatic room
life, you infuse it with texture.” Beyond the color and texture selec-
tions, the entire backdrop of the home’s interiors is restrained.
“Simplicity was the Martins’ mantra,” Webb adds. From the
lime-washed oak floors and the plaster walls to the exacting execu-
tion of the architectural detailing, the sum of the parts create a
whole of timelessness.
“It’s all about living in emotion,” says Block. “It’s about creating
houses that have soul, living in houses that have a life to them. That’s
what it’s all about.” SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.
PEACEFUL PALETTE
clockwise from left For the design of the balustrade in the foyer, architect Peter Block used a picket motif,
but inverted it, alluding to an Arts & Crafts tradition. With a second garage and guest suite sited in front
of the home, the property takes on the characteristics of a residential compound. San Marco plaster and
paint were used in the great room and throughout the rest of the house. Flanking the fireplace are two
niches for log storage. Because crown moulding wasn’t used in the home, there is no visual distraction—
walls and ceilings become one. opposite The middle of the great room features a seating area with

72 ATLANTAHOM ES MAG.COM
A style spectrum would place rustic and contemporary at polar
ends, but this visionary jewel of a home—nestled on a hillside of pic-
turesque Lake Oconee—proves opposites do attract. Harrison Design
Associates and interior designer Gretchen Edwards defied conven-
tion by fusing elements of these two contradictory aesthetics into one
masterful retreat.
“The exterior is all about the natural form; the traditional applica-
tions of stone and cedar, and how they blend into and become part of
the land,” explains project manager Steve Markey of Harrison Design
Associates. “The interiors, however, are a refreshing counterpoint with
sleek and more sophisticated uses of natural materials.”
Indeed, Edwards complements the clean, modern lines of the in-
door spaces with a stunning array of warm woods and textures. Wal-
nut, cypress, alder and barn wood were transformed into ceilings,
walls, doors, tables and chairs while intriguing textures such a rope,
abaca fiber and even pony hair took on new life as unique accessories.
The home’s great use of assorted materials is none more apparent than
in the well-appointed powder room. The custom vanity consists of a
limestone top and zinc-wrapped doors while the ceiling and mirror
are made of cypress wood. Rounding out the eclectic mix are two col-
ors of linen wallpaper and thin glass tile adorning the walls.
Though a neutral color palette acts as a common thread, unique
elements in each room gives every space a distinct look and charm.

room which were made entirely of Jerusalem stone. Continuing the theme into the master bedroom, Edwards
worked with varying shades of browns.
“Stone was used everywhere, from the floors to the walls to the
baths. The tile installer had three crews working at the same time, but
it took months to complete,” remembers Edwards. “The complexity of
the materials and the amount of detail in the house has made this
home one of my most exciting projects to date. It’s also been one of the
most challenging because it wasn’t just putting up sheetrock and se-
lecting paint colors.”
Never once does the intricacy of the home becoming overwhelm-

 LIFE
(marcia) Design Through the Ages
In the first of a two-part series, Marcia offers up advice for savvy style at every age

DRESSING YOUR AGE IS ONE THING, BUT DECORAT-

ING WITHIN YOUR PEER GROUP IS ANOTHER. HERE’S
MY HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE LIST OF DOS AND DON’TS.
WRITTEN BY
MARCIA SHERRILL
Ç IN YOUR Throw out all the dorm room junk and

20s
PHOTOGRAPHED BY
STEVE POMBERG this includes all posters; your new col-
leagues at work don’t care if you love Pfish.
• High tail it over to IKEA, West Elm and
all of the thousand Pottery Barns to buy a real sofa. Aero
beds are not an option. • Try to buy some real art from your
friends; they will soon have to get paying jobs. • Your bath-
room deserves some TLC; buy decent towels and sundries
at Walmart. Yes, Walmart. • When in doubt, buy a bunch
of cheap palm trees and go for a jungle motif.

(web)
30s That aforementioned real sofa needs to
be cleaned or slipcovered. Why did you
buy a dog when you are still eating Grape
Nuts for dinner? • Get yourself a rug—a nice one. Look
on eBay and Craig’s List and then, after you have that rug,
ALL OF MARCIA’S COLUMNS paint one wall or an entire room a devastating color. •
CAN BE FOUND AT Take that color and get coordinating candles, pillows and
ATLANTAHOMESMAG.COM
accent pieces to create a design statement. • Now go back
on eBay and Craig’s List and get that bedroom on track.
You can get a 1950s or ‘60s bedroom suite (I know, the
word “suite” sets our collective teeth a-clenching) and
paint it all a glossy, fun color. Look for bedding to match
at Bed, Bath & Beyond or Anthropologie. Get in your
overpriced car and drive. • Try watering your plants; your
home is like the Mojave Desert. While you are at it, add
some architectural touches—moulding and maybe wain-
scoting—if you have made the leap to being a home-
owner. • If you have started a family, do not go overboard
on fancy baby furniture. Remember, these infants will
soon be obnoxious teens so plan accordingly. A Moses
basket, however, is not suitable for a 5-year-old.
40s Remember those people you spent way
too much time with as a child? Yep, that’s
them. Parents. They should be downsiz-
ing about now, so grab any antiques they have before they
find a place for them in their new condo. • While you are
over there getting furniture, lay your hands on some china
and silver. You foolishly registered for wedding gifts at
Crate & Barrel so you need silver. • Time to renovate. The
economy is in crisis and there are former Vanderbilt phi-
losophy professors who can talk about existentialism and
do a decent job on granite counters. While renovating,
avoid anything trendy; you will have to sell this house if
those kids don’t smarten up and get some scholarship
money. Go for white baths and neutral kitchens. You may
love that glittery mosaic tile but your buyer will not. • Are
those children still lurking about? Get them motivated to
paint their rooms and give them a small allowance for
frames, bedding and side tables. We want them to stay
home, away from the evil influence of their peers. Given
their splashy new digs, their friends will hang out at your
house but don’t worry, you can handle a teen with a day-
old tongue piercing.
Next month, tips for decorating in your 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
