Nov 27, 2024 | atlantamagazine.com | Lisa Mowry

Old World charm thrives in St. Augustine, Florida, proudly 459 years old and a mecca for architecture lovers. This coastal town not far from Jacksonville doesn’t feel like a typical beach destination, thanks to its Spanish Revival buildings, brick-paved streets, and historic attractions.

Nov 26, 2024 | atlantamagazine.com | Lisa Mowry

They were punctuated by sloped or flat roofs (the home featured here has both), glass clerestory windows, vaulted ceilings, and bursts of color. For the Decatur couple who renovated this midcentury modern house, the style also taps into nostalgia. “We both grew up in ranch houses in Atlanta, and this one just spoke to us,” says the wife.

Aug 5, 2024 | atlantamagazine.com | Lisa Mowry

Atlanta interior designer Leah Alexander usually dresses in black, which is something that amuses her friends, considering her fondness for bright colors in her decorating projects. “More often than not, I’m wearing all-black from head to toe,” she says, “But meanwhile . . . green, yellow, or even purple cabinetry?
