Of Peachy Keen Holidays in Peachtree Heights

The Atlanta cottage of Jill Sharp Brinson, Creative Director at the helm of Ballard Designs, has been a crowd-pleaser since its cool tones and limed woods graced a spread in House Beautiful several years back, setting the hearts of many a blogger aflutter and sending us scurrying to IKEA in droves to snag ivory cowhides. Now, just in time for the yuletide buzz, the house makes a more colorful cameo in the December issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. Brinson and designer Suzanne Kasler have teamed up to deck the walls, showcasing to pared down advantage Kasler's latest holiday collection. The mood is updated Scandi-chic with an underlying European rusticity to temper a metered dose of blush pink. There is also a pinch of glam-zhush factor, making it just the sort of space where one wouldn't be surprised to find Rachel Zoe readjusting and pinning the dinner linens. Nero enjoys these sorts of double-takes -- seeing a home under different guises, several years after its debut. The feel is understated, earthy, a little sparkly and frankly quite fun. So go ahead fair readers, grab a plate of lox and give it a good thumbing-through.
