When building the house, Laurie turned to Atlanta architect Keith Summerour, who tapped area artisans to craft the home using native hardwoods.
In this photo: Wicker armchairs by Larsen and vintage bentwood bistro seats surround the table, dressed with a swath of Tunisian silk.
An antique runner from Budapest and a bench made by Laurie's grandfather bring a sense of history to the upstairs hallway, which overlooks the home's great room. "We chose vintage doorknobs that are grazed and nicked, and just wonderful to wrap your hand around," Laurie explains. The doors are painted Red Rock by Benjamin Moore.
Laurie also worked with interior designer Barbara Westbrook to weave in a few Southern archetypes from wicker antiques to a decommissioned sign from a Georgia railroad route. Other pieces—this twiggy bed, leather club chairs—could've come straight from an Adirondack lodge, and offer a wistful nod to Laurie's New England summers.
In this photo: Laurie scored her bedroom's reclaimed sign from a Georgia railroad route—imploring conductors to announce their approach—at a local antiques shop. Ditto the lamps and the folk-art chest. Flat Rock Furniture made the hickory bed.
Together, these meaningful totems effect a vibe that's worldly, yet so familiar, it's hard to believe the house was constructed in the past decade.
In this photo: Laurie's collection of vintage tramp-art mirrors hangs above a custom settee—enlivened by a Utility Canvas quilted blanket—in the master bedroom. Westbrook sourced the carpet, sewn with Turkish flour sacks, from Sullivan Fine Rugs. The panels behind the settee are painted Knoxville Gray by Benjamin Moore, while the wall above is DKC-39 by Donald Kaufman.
