Good morning! Baskets of Japanese fishing floats i

Good morning! Baskets of Japanese fishing floats in shades of olive, turquoise, and aqua are some of the sea-inspired objects found throughout a house on Lake Martin. The objects we surround ourselves with form our private language and when we put these into play with personal memories, mythologies, and points of view, we express a rich and personal world.

In the guest bedroom of a new house I collaborated

In the guest bedroom of a new house I collaborated on with @mcalpinehouse, the custom bed is tucked under the dormer of the vaulted ceiling. Carried out in cool colors with various shades of steely gray undertones, this room is calm. Two framed prints of exhuberant fancy chickens frame the door to the bathroom, a nod to the house’s setting on historic farmland!

Sunday mood...Light and shadows dance across a pair of chairs set by a window in a rustic lake house by @mcalpinehouse. The plainly upholstered chairs and unfinished carved wood side tables echo the simplicity and calm of the architecture.

I chose @farrowandball’s tranquil French Gray to wrap the cabinets of Mary Holland’s @hollandmacrae’s kitchen. The color comes alive in the light—it transforms into an earthy green-gray—as do the textures and tones of the wood...the pecky cypress beamed ceiling and rustic farm table from @hollandmacrae.

Overlooking the ocean, the intimate dining area of our recent Alys Beach project conjures the soft colors of the sunrises and sunsets with glimmers of gold, pink, and lilac.

Mirrors and marble and mosaic tile, in shades of gray and alabaster, surround this master bathroom and make the room seem more spacious. A deep tub is set within an arched, windowed niche by @mcalpinehouse. Look closely and you can see @ericageorgedines in action!

A pair of lamps on Corinthian bases, almost like two sentries guarding the open window, rise up to meet the scale of this room which hovers over treetops. The space is filled with objects from our clients’ many travels to Africa as well as antique finds from France...and some notes of apricot!

Happy weekend for this incredible project. In the living room of a new house by @mcalpinehouse, I wove in repeated gestures in the varying shades of white and silvery grays and also in the use of metal mesh: the mesh and chain custom @urbanelectricco fixture, the mesh and metal credenzas in the background hall, and the mesh fireplace screen. These recurring effects and textures seem to speak to each other throughout the soaring space.

Good morning! This detail shot from a lake house with architecture by @mcalpinehouse is filled with contrasting textures, shapes, and colors....gold and silver leaf, shimmering mercury glass, rough-sawn pine walls with a pearly finish, and rich Prussian blue velvet make for surprising juxtapositions that complement each other.

Sitting on this terrace overlooking Lake Martin is like being on the prow of a ship as it drifts over the water. Comfortable chairs from #RH form the seating group and I love @davidbaker_tsb’s Japanese rain chain, which allows you to see the rain flowing down its links as it drains, further connecting this house to its watery setting. Happy Friday! Architecture: @davidbaker_tsb; Photo: @ericageorgedines #susanferrierinteriors #susanferrier

My own living room in Atlanta is a story of layers

My own living room in Atlanta is a story of layers upon layers! From this view, I can see so many textures, earthy colors, and objects I have collected over time. Geodes arranged on fluted column sections, armillary orbs in a box I found in Morocco, a copper urn from France, a classical statue of Hercules, and gilt frame, are placed throughout and are anchored by a soft goatskin rug from @rtherugcompany.

This softly upholstered day bed, set within a bedroom alcove overlooking the sea, is framed by some special antiques we found in Paris....the curvilinear arm chair at left and the wooden desk on the right. The lamps on the desk, in the forms of iron pitchers, were also found in France, and become almost like unexpected little sculptures. | Architecture: @mcalpinehouse; photo: @triagiovan #susanferrierinteriors #susanferrier #tranquil #retreat #sanctuary #masterbedroom #bedroom #oceanview #artoftheinterior #windowseat #oceanview #roomwithaview

Good morning from this light and bright kitchen! White upholstery offsets the honey-colored cedar walls of this Lake house kitchen while a graphic grid of dried ferns evokes the forest floor. This house lies deep in the woods beside the lake and the many shades and species of wood connect it to its rustic natural setting.

A living and dining room situated so close to the edge of Lake Martin that it results in the sensation of being on a boat’s bow as it slices through the water. This room is a balance of high contrast neutral colors and shifting shapes...curves and disciplined straight lines with different spirits still relate to each other on either side. The fabulous lighthouse lanterns made of steel and foxed convex mirrors capture the light reflecting off of the lake.

TGIF! A gilt sunburst’s rays ascend from this lilac and pink cut-velvet headboard. This bedroom is filled with gleamy and feminine colors and plush textures like silk, velvet, and the creamy hair on hide rug. I think of this bedroom oasis as a heaping spoonful of the richest desert!

The neutral colors of the smooth concrete pavers and plaster walls give the illusion that this compact bathroom, next to a children’s bunk room, is more spacious than it is in reality. We chose the caged wall lights to enhance the feeling of being tucked within a narrow galley space on a ship.

#tbt to this oldie but goodie from twenty years ago captured as the sea breeze was blowing through the window! For this master bedroom sitting room, I took cues from the blush and peach tones of the sand and conch shells found on the beach outside. Other layers include the fuzzy goatskin rug and the stone urn with wrought-iron leaves – two architectural elements I found and then fused.

I love this quiet corner in a lake house nestled in the woods. Spring tulips overflow from a vessel and the gilded sconce and reflective vine damask slipcover on the chair are a dose of formality and glamour in an otherwise rustic room wrapped in unembellished rough-sawn pine walls glazed in a pearly finish.

Soft light at our Alys Beach project where a sweeping roof by @mcalpinehouse shelters the porch overlooking the ocean. Printed pillows and a throw in sea glass colors conjure the salt air and blue green colors of the dunes and sea.

Heading into a new week with a photo I love where @vitalephoto captured the light cutting into this dining room as the sun was setting at the end of our shoot for @milieumag. The streams of light reflect the mullions of @mcalpinehouse’s huge windows and cast shadows over @rachelleehovnanian’s painting from her Memory of Narcissus series. The cloud of cotton stems and all of the textures...the leather slipcovered chairs, rug, and mesh light fixture seem to be ablaze.

I layered textures, colors, and art to create an intimate lounge area in the @therhugheslifestyle Atlanta showhouse where the existing architecture was like a blank canvas with floor to ceiling glass windows, white walls, and an open plan. @michaeldinesart specially-commissioned monumental elephant painting is an evocative backdrop for other pieces, like the striking peacock and jewel-toned accessories!

Happy weekend! The dining room between the salon and kitchen in this new house on the coast is anchored by @mcalpinehouse’s strong gridded windows and coffered ceiling. I chose furniture in romantic silvers, with glints of gold, pale blues and curvaceous shapes to balance the bold lines of the architecture.

Good morning from my bedroom for the @atlantahomes

Good morning from my bedroom for the @atlantahomesmag show house several years ago which had huge scale and the furnishings needed to meet it! I filled the space with a towering four-poster bed that reaches towards an equally monumental lantern. Tall bedside lamps and a vertical column of drapery on the window wall behind also balance the height of the coffered ceiling.
