As an architectural designer, Tim Sandberg was no stranger to living on the road, moving from jobsite to jobsite, and staying at hotels with his wife, Janelle, at his side. In seven years, they called seven states home. Without a residence of their own, the two would take trips between projects, venturing across the United States and visiting over 17 countries. But then came the pull to put down roots and purchase their first home, a stunner located in a Georgia suburb. When the couple moved in, the 2,800-square-foot house, built in 1999, needed a bit of care. “We refurbished the house ourselves,” Tim says. “Everything we did in the house was planned and designed together. It has been a labor of love and is an ever-evolving process.” The couple…

When North Carolina homeowners Maria and Jeff Ingle started dreaming up their third build together, they knew right away they were planning for their forever home. With that in mind, the couple made detailed plans to build a house that they’d not only love to live in, but also one in which they could comfortably gather and spend time with loved ones. The Ingles prepared a list of must-haves, including a living space with an open floor plan, lots of pocket doors, hardwood flooring throughout, and white walls with white trim. “This is my blank canvas and calms my mind,” Maria says. They also made sure the house faced east to ensure a scenic sunrise and sunset over their 10 acres. As you enter through the double front doors on…

When Fran Morris and her husband, John, moved into their new home in 2009, the interior designer knew that the cottage-style spirit of the house and neighborhood called for a classic approach—and that was just fine with her. “I wanted to use antique reproduction elements to preserve the charm of the area and the look of the house,” she says, noting that her own style is decidedly traditional. Fran, however, isn’t afraid of a little change, and she enjoys adding splashes of contemporary style, “to keep it fun.” The result is a design that, while built on a base of neutral tones and dark woods, pops with varied shades of blue—like the clock-inspired wall art over the antique reproduction credenza in the living room. When the weather begins to cool,…

Leslie and Michael O’Kelley always dreamed of building their own home from the ground up. An interior designer and an architect respectively, the two finally realized their dream in 2016 when they began work on a new home in their Alabama community of Mt Laurel. The deep green of the home’s exterior is a nod to the early days of the town when an emphasis on the area’s natural beauty meant that homeowners were required to choose nature-inspired tones. “And my husband being the town architect, he really wanted to keep to the true theme of Mt Laurel,” Leslie says. Inside, the rich, earthy tones give way to a palette of bright whites and intentional pops of vibrant color. Interspersed with contemporary lines and touches of retro style, antique pieces…

There’s nothing better than coming together with family and friends to share a meal and make memories. From a fall supper club to Thanksgiving dinner, the season of get-togethers has begun. Lay the typical orange pumpkins aside and incorporate the neutral shades of autumn into a seasonal tablescape to achieve an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere. Decorate an understated wooden table with muted white roses in earth-tone pitchers, mixed and matched silver or pewter accents, and fall gourds in shades ranging from off-white to pale orange. A solid napkin in a darker tone and off-white plates tie the scene together, creating a natural and effortlessly chic table presentation.…

Alison Diboll’s enthusiasm for life bubbles over as she guides people through her 145-year-old New Orleans, Louisiana, cottage furnished from all corners of the earth. The home is a reflection of her lifelong passion for world travel. There’s the “migratory herd” of eight hand-carved giraffes from Africa, the ottoman custom-embroidered in Morocco, a Zambian basket filled with black clay balls from Mexico, and a “little slice of Versailles” that is her powder room highlighted by an antique Louis XV-style chest painted bright pink. The Creole cottage is far from ordinary, but then most people don’t go on a trip around the world and come back two birthdays later. It was the trip made with her sister nearly three decades ago that ignited a passion for exploration that has yet to…
