I only recently came across
this article in
Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles about the wonderful
Bill Ingram's pied-à-terre in Midtown Atlanta. And, goodness, it is perfection.
Isn't it such a masterful collection of old and new, shiny and textured? There is so much to look at but in no way is it busy. What else could be expected from Mr. Ingram. So talented!
His Birmingham office in
Mountain Brook Village is so pretty, yet unassuming. The trellis work on the door is such a neat touch!
That handsome young blur outside the window is Jimmy Laughlin, who works with Mr. Ingram. He and his equally handsome other half Jacob bought this (now)
beauty in Forest Park, which was featured in
Southern Living:
This was just down the street from where I used to live, so my dog and I would walk by there all the time. When the work started and the whitewashing began, I knew something good was happening. But, when they added that light fixture by the door, I knew there was an expert at work.
I wish you could see it better in the picture. It looks sort of like this one but bigger and cooler. Ha!
I always say that Birmingham is a small town disguised as a city. Everyone knows everyone just about or, at the very least, there's that whole six degrees of separation thing going on. I met Jimmy and Jacob once in Avondale nearby and they were so nice. We talked about their house and I remember them commenting then on the size of project they had taken on with it. I remember them talking about how if they could just get the kitchen finished, it would be smooth sailing. Jacob added that then, maybe, they could finally get a dog.
I'd say it looks like it all worked out in the end. :)
I hope you all are having a great week!
