THE ANNUAL DECORATORS’ SHOW HOUSE & GARDENS opened this spring to a chorus of admiring comments as visitors entered “Camelot.” The new Georgian-style residence, owned by Mark Bhaggan and William Hale at 3750 Tuxedo Road, was built with the help of architectural designers Craig Headrick and Boyd Leyburn of HLP Architects. And, per tradition, the show house benefitted the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
What a showplace! Once through the front door, a quick glance revealed a softly textured living room to the right and a library with quatrefoil–patterned carpet to the left. Straight ahead, French polished walnut consoles led the eye through the entrance hall to the grand salon, a huge formal space arranged into intimate groupings. Beyond these and other enchanting rooms, there were still grand gardens to explore and an infinity pool to beguile.
Here and on the following pages, this year’s featured designers share their design solutions—and inspirations.
