Tour an Atlanta Show House With a Glam Farmhouse Vibe

Nestled in Serenbe, this show home is situated in a planned community in bucolic Chattahoochee Hills just outside of Atlanta, where eco-conscious amenities include a 25-acre organic farm, a seasonal greenmarket, nature trails and edible landscaping. This five-bedroom, Western-inflected farmhouse adds a serious shot of style to any previous ideas of American farmhouse style. It's "a throwback to Serenbe’s roots,” explains Patrick Sharp, who, with his wife, Megan, of Atlanta’s Mister + Mrs Sharp, served as this year’s lead designer for the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles show house.

The Sharps chose finishes that carry throughout the home’s 5,000 square feet of living spaces and beautifully highlight the work of 14 design teams that collaborated with them. The relaxed-yet-elegant porch pictured here — a vignette Shane Evans and Deena Levine of Ansley Interiors brought to life — is an excellent place to begin.

The Sharps counterbalanced the contemporary feel of the open layout of the kitchen, dining and great room with a stately exposed-beam-and-limestone frame reminiscent of a classic farmhouse hearth for the rear wall. “We added the limestone ‘cave’ around the range for a sense of gravitas and permanence,” Patrick says. “It’s a new house, but it feels like it could have been here forever.”

The Sharps outfitted the gorgeous fluted island niche with the same graphically veined quartzite found on its countertops and backsplash. The polished brass pot filler in the doggie food and drink niche matches the one on the luxurious stove. That cohesion is both empirically attractive and a lovely way of saying that this design reflects every member of the family.

“The cabinetry, including the fluted custom kitchen island, is by Bell Cabinetry, and the brass hardware throughout the kitchen is from Matthew Quinn Collection,” Patrick says.

The floating shelves’ rich metallic tone is an unexpected and lovely choice against the pale limestone behind the sink. The floating shelves echo the lower cabinets and suggest etageres or curio hutches. A Jenni Kayne sea grass pitcher and highball glasses add an organic note on the counter.
