My Weekender
Everyone wants a weekender, right? A place they can slip off to. Whether it would be located at the beach, the mountains, the lake, the woods or wherever; the important thing is that it is a place of rest and rejuvenation. A place to nourish ones inner nature. It is a Home that replenishes the soul. For me, a Home in this setting would … Read More My Weekender
Stately Defined
In following up on my latest post; entitled “The One” and which highlighted my all time favorite kitchen, I thought that I would dedicate the next two blogs to the close runner-ups. This one here is the product of the collaborative effort of William Litchfield Residential Designs and Jacquelynne P. Lanham Designs. I just happened to come across it while roaming through the AH&L archives. … Read More Stately Defined

The One
I suppose a few of you guys (ones in the know) have seen this one before. Apparently, photos of it have been floating around for a little while now. I just happened to stumble upon it when I was wandering around the other weekend. From the first moment that I laid eyes on it though, I was done. Totally drawn in and utterly enamored. This kitchen was … Read More The One
Bright Rays of Light
Well, this has been quite the crazy week. Financial markets are all over the place. Volatility oversees. Just a general unrest in the air. It is certainly enough to cause an individual to grow weary. In spite of all of this though, there are definitely some good things happening in the world as well; and I would like to take a moment and tell you about my latest finds. You see, I … Read More Bright Rays of Light
A Place Of Our Own
Lately, I’ve had my dream place on the mind again. In fact, everyone in the family has been talking about their “dream” place. It’s not that we have a hard time hanging out with each other, Not at all. It’s just that we each want a place of our own. A place that we can retreat to. I think that this longing is something that is hardwired into our nature. … Read More A Place Of Our Own

Grand Transformations
I think you will most definitely enjoy this one. It was not only fun to build out, but, it also had an incredible, earth-shattering impact on the character of the Home. Located in the Brookfield Country Club right on the golf course, this home was the collection of multiple renovations performed by the previous owner. Not only did the craftsmanship leave a lot to … Read More Grand Transformations
Loring Heights ~ Part 2
A couple of weeks ago, I featured this home’s master bath. In case you missed it, you can catch it here. Today ~ I thought I’d bring you some photos from the kitchen project. I absolutely love this home . It is located in the quiet little community of Loring Heights, just west of Atlanta. For these owners, it is all about the location. … Read More Loring Heights ~ Part 2

Anyway, while killing time and strolling through some websites I came across this one and it just blew me away. Talk about making a statement. This one is so striking. Right off … Read More Random Snippets 3 ~ A Masterful Balcony
Random Snippets 2 ~ It’s Really So Simple
Sometimes we will rule out employing quality design elements or solid architectural detailing right from the get go because we think that it may be too cost prohibitive or that our project is not up to that level of distinction. In reality though, there are so many ways to enhance the aesthetics of a home with some very simple techniques. Notice how this simple (yet … Read More Random Snippets 2 ~ It’s Really So Simple
Random Snippets 1 ~ The Art of Siting
Undoubtedly “Siting” a house on a piece of property can be one of the most exciting segments of the whole building process. I would even venture to say that this is the draw that pulls so many guys into the construction profession. This is play at the highest level ~ orchestrsting heavy equipment, managing excavating activities, executing surveying details, laying out the foundations, Then there’s setting form boards, foundation wall panels, calling … Read More Random Snippets 1 ~ The Art of Siting
