Tour a Midcentury Modern Collector's Atlanta Home Loaded With Crazy Color

A local celebrity known for his funky Edgewood Avenue bar Church and his highly original artworks often featuring repurposed vintage paintings, Grant Henry has been a lifelong collector of midcentury modern furniture and objects and brings his love of those iconic shapes and colors to his Atlanta home.

More color, primary brights, sleek midcentury lines all add up to the wit and energy that defines this Old Fourth Ward Atlanta home.

Who wouldn’t want to start the day here? The quaint breakfast area includes a classic Saarinen table and arm chairs, made even cooler by alternating the upholstery fabrics. The Random Light above the table was a perfect choice to allow natural light to penetrate in daytime and add a soft glow at night, not to mention casting cool shadows on the walls. The custom rug from Meyer’s Carpet was essential to the success of this room. It grounds the space beautifully, adds texture and warmth, plus made it so that the white table didn’t appear to be growing from the white floor. Grant is obviously never alone for morning coffee; he’s got at least forty or so guests just over his shoulder. In a true “gallery style” application, the wall boasts an impressive collection of porcelain masks.
