To evoke a feeling of serenity, Laughridge selected neutral fabrics accented with hints of green in accessories and plants. To tie the space to its verdant surroundings, a floral painting through Artists Guild of America serves as a focal point, welcoming guests to sit back and relax in the two chaise lounge chairs that Laughri ..read more

It’d be easy to mistake Pamela Harrington’s home as a sun-dappled chateau tucked into France’s rolling countryside. But its stateside, Lowcountry setting in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, specifically makes it all the more intriguing.

While Kiawah Island is home base for her family and business (she founded her successful real esta ..read more

A lifeline came in 2017, when a visionary party bought the property and tapped landscape designer Carson McElheney and interior designer Susan Lapelle to preserve the land and restore the frame house that stood there. “It’s a magnificent heirloom property,” says McElheney. “They want ..read more

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles: What makes courtyard gardens so enticing?
Marcia Weber: The space in a courtyard is compacted so they’re intimate. Also, courtyards are defined spaces with walls, so there should always be something special to look at; special details for your eye to land on. Details always matter, but they’re especially important in courtyard gardens.
AH&L: What are some of your favorite special points of interest in a courtyard garden?
MW: I love to include art. From contemporary sculptures by metalsmith Corrina Sephora Mensoff, to interesting pots and g ..read more

Landscape designer Carson McElheney experienced a rare opportunity when approached by clients who not only shared the same passions but also wanted to be deeply involved in the project. Both McElheney and his wife have a foothold in the equestrian world, as did his clients, and all have an affinity for history and the beauty of Virginia’s hunt country set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. “The clients and I looked at properties for a year and a half, and then we found this very private space with 4 acres in the heart of the city,” says McElheney. “We immediately real ..read more
