Autumn Breeze While the Southern weather continues to give us hot, sunny days, the moment the clock strikes midnight on the first day of September, we begin to dream of autumn and all the festive splendor that it brings. The bright hues and vibrant palettes of spring and summer begin to give way to warm tones, soft fabrics, and hearty floral arrangements, while plans for fall activities and adventures start to fill up our calendars. The excitement of the season also brings us inspiration to spruce up our interiors. We tend to look for more texture and layers with fall. We hope that you’ll journey through each page of this autumnal issue and find elements of design that you’d like to incorporate into your own home. On page 31, architect…

Houston designer Benjamin Johnston has worked all over the world, most notably in Tokyo for César Pelli. But working on 35,000-square-foot commercial spaces caused him to realize that his passion lay in smaller spaces, and specifically, interior design. Upon his return to Houston, he opened a design firm and has since made a name for himself for luxurious houses with a global perspective. For a recent project in the Tanglewood neighborhood, the structure of the house by architect George Tracy was complete and offered an obvious design cue. “Tracy envisioned grand spaces like the cathedrals of Europe,” says Johnston. “We decided to play with the question of what time period the house is in, with slick, glamorous surfaces against the ancient architecture.” Taking inspiration from the round clerestory windows of…

If the adage “every dog has his day” is anything to go by, it was inevitable that dogs would become as celebrated in the realm of decorative arts as they are in real life. From sporting pictures to needlepoint pillows, dogs have featured prominently in a variety of mediums, especially ceramics, and of the many canine forms that have been modeled over the centuries, there are two types in particular that have captured the hearts of generations of collectors: Meissen pugs and Staffordshire spaniels. Like porcelain, pugs can trace their roots back centuries to China, where the wide-eyed breed was a favorite at the Imperial Court. Later introduced to Europe by Dutch traders in the sixteenth century, pugs became the “it” lapdog among seventeenth- and eighteenth-century European nobility, particularly in…

Travel makes an impression on every project Linda Burnside of LGB Interiors touches. “I’m continually inspired by the places I visit. I like to photograph my experiences and then bring these elements into my designs,” she says. Burnside employs this approach with all of her clients, weaving mementos from their travels and life experiences into their homes with a seemingly effortless finesse. So, when longtime clients Lou and Bill Kennedy called to say they were relocating from Florida to Lou’s native South Carolina, the designer was eager to incorporate pieces from their global travels into a new-construction lakeside home. “Lou grew up in this area, so it was important to her to come home and to be involved in the community,” Burnside says, noting the Kennedys relocated the headquarters of…

It happens like clockwork, every time: You invite friends over for dinner or a casual get-together, and invariably everyone ends up in the kitchen. And while they’re mingling, you’re trying to finish up with food prep and setting out the appetizers, all of which will result in a sink full of dirty dishes and cookware. Although these messy aspects of entertaining shouldn’t mix with guests—unfortunately, they often do. So what’s the solution to this common conundrum? Long before kitchens became the refined gathering spots in today’s homes, they were regarded as no-frills utility rooms, intended only for cooking, washing, and facilitating other household chores. When they weren’t large enough to handle everything, a secondary space or “scullery” became crucial in managing the overflow. Also called working kitchens, or catering kitchens,…

Southern Home (SH): Would you begin by sharing a bit about your background? Jackye Lanham (JL): I’m what we used to call an army brat. We moved every couple of years, internationally and around the South. No matter where we were, a pair of twin beds and a steamer trunk full of my treasures came along with me. I’d shove the beds around into whatever configuration in my new bedroom and constantly rearrange my dolls and things. I guess that was the beginning of my sense of space planning and placement, as I’m still shoving furniture around. However, I certainly didn’t grow up talking about interiors and architecture. I came to design through the back door. SH: How did that door open? JL: My father, being an army officer, told…

Overlooking the fifteenth hole of the golf course at Quail Hollow Country Club, the traditional Georgian home of a young, active family evokes the feeling of being on vacation. “The homeowner and his children had been living in a small house filled with beautiful antiques,” says interior design Jolee Fennebresque. “The owner bought the lot with the intention of building a home with more space for the children to grow into, so I got to be a part of the process from the beginning.” While the owner wanted the home to feel fresh, stylish, and appropriate for entertaining guests, he also knew comfort and durability would be essential for his family’s needs. “I knew the wide-open floor plan would be perfect for hosting parties during golf tournaments, so my challenge…
