As blogs take the globe by storm, three of the country’s most recognized style and design bloggers call Atlanta home. In their first interview together, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Editorial Director Clinton Smith sits down with the trio for tea at The High Museum of Art’s Table 1280 to discuss their influence among design enthusiasts, around town and afar. Pick up AH&L’s October 2008 issue for the full story, the experts’ favorite shops—and, don’t miss their official style blogs, which we’ve linked to below.

Jennifer Dwyer, The Peak of Chic
With a lifelong interest in design history, Dwyer created thepeakofchic.com in 2006 as a way of sharing that knowledge with others who have similar interests. In turn, she has created an online community of kindred spirits.

Courtney Barnes, Style Court
An avid reader of design magazines and books on the decorative arts, Barnes originally started stylecourt.blogspot.com as an online book and magazine club. It has since evolved into an online emporium of current style news and events.

Suzanna Cullen Hamilton, By George I Found It
With training as an antiques dealer, Hamilton combines her knowledge of decorative arts and design with her favorite discoveries from her global travels on bygeorgeifoundit.blogspot.com.
