House Beautiful Whole Home 2018
The House Beautiful Whole Home Project: Atlanta
For the Whole Home Project concept home, House Beautiful enlisted some of Atlanta's best - builder Michael Ladisic, architect Linda D'Orazio MacArthur, kitchen-and-bath designer Matthew Quinn, and interior designer Sherry Hart - to prove that a home can be both smart and stunning. "Our lives are so hectic and we're constantly bombarded, so we decided to go with the simplest idea of a house," architect Linda D'Orazio MacArthur told House Beautiful. "We wanted it to be familiar." Tour the smart home filled with bright ideas and shop the lighting looks selected by the Whole Home team!
Matthew Quinn's inspiration for the kitchen was healthy and smart living. He even incorporated a grow room for fresh herbs year-round! Contemporary, geometric elements are found throughout, including the Osiris Large Reflector Chandelier and Osiris Single Reflector Sconce by Thomas O'Brien. The bright palette paves the way for a cohesive, inviting space with perfect proportions.
Larder
The Limoges Large Pendant by Suzanne Kasler illuminates fresh produce and grains in the cold larder, inspiring a farm-to-table approach to every meal.
Powder Room
A pair of Lola Medium Reflector Sconces by Ian K. Fowler make a minimalist statement against the wood-paneled and jewel-toned walls.
Side Entrance
The Soleil Medium Semi Flush Suzanne Kasler in Bronze creates striking contrast against the textured grasscloth walls and warm wood-paneled doors.

Dining Room
Designer Sherry Hart selected a pair of Lorford Smoke Bell Lanterns by E.F. Chapman for their captivating glow. The Mercury Glass finish offers shimmering warmth to the sunlit space.
Living Room
Hart layered warm neutrals, deep crimsons and peacock blues to give depth to the living room, featuring the Hargett Bridge Arm Floor Lamp by J. Randall Powers.
Mudroom
The mudroom was designed to be functional for all family members - especially the furry ones. The custom glass door features a hidden pet entrance. "I love that I could put my pup in here when she's muddy, close the half door, and know she's not behind a closed wall," Hart told House Beautiful. The Edmond Flush Mount by E.F. Chapman illuminates overhead.
Meditation & Fitness Room
The retro silhouette of the Sommerard Large Triple Arm Chandelier by AERIN extends the invitation to relax after a long day (or workout) in this serene, multi-purpose space.
Study
The best part of this grape escape? Stock the custom chevron shelves and you'll never have to leave the house for a great bottle of wine! The Venetian Gold finish of the Brittany Small Lantern by Niermann Weeks provides a sense of ancient luxury, perfect for curating a collected atmosphere in this white-oak paneled lounge.
Children's Bedroom & Bathroom
Tall ceilings allowed for statement-worthy lighting, including the Jacqueline Two-Tier Chandelier by AERIN. The sleek silhouette of Bryant Sconce in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass by Thomas O'Brien highlights the clean design of the bathroom.
Master Bedroom Entry
Deauville Single Sconces by AERIN and the Horn Chandelier by Ian K. Fowler in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass (discontinued) beautifully light the way to the master bedroom.
Master Bedroom
Hart incorporated an intimate floral canopy over the bed to give this bedroom a boutique-hotel feel. The Penelope Table Lamp by Alexa Hampton in Green Porcelain and the Dover Floor Lamp by AERIN in Gild accentuate the vibrant pops of raspberry, bringing the space to life.

"It's ethereal and cloud-like when you're in there."
