Atlanta has long been the capital of Southern style, and the designers in this issue epitomize the variety found here—it’s stylish, it’s elegant (even when it’s casual), and it’s unpredictable. At a Buckhead manor, Judith Schindler and Sudi Cecil mix West Coast charm with Southern hospitality. Designer Meridy King takes real-life decorating to a new level for a young family. The two residences that Linda Beth Loughlin designed allow her to effortlessly move between country and city life. And Alabama fashion designer Natalie Chanin gives us her take on the art of “slow” design—it’s a lesson all of us can take to heart in today’s fast-paced world.
