A crisp breeze in fall is a welcome reprieve from summer’s heat and brings fresh inspiration for our interiors and lifestyles. Whether your autumn to-do list includes a football game, a hayride, or a walk to enjoy the amazing fall foliage, returning to a cozy house can be the best part of the season. The cooler weather gives us a chance to slow down and savor quiet moments at home. In this issue you will find a stunning home set in the Blue Ridge Mountains designed by PLATT architects, and Ashley Gilbreath brought her signature “beautiful and livable” style to a Baton Rouge abode. Designer Traci Zeller teamed up with architect Garrett Nelson to bring a charming house in Charlotte to fruition, and in Dallas, Shelby Wagner, Mark Hoesterey, and Mark Danuser created a more modern family home. In Antiques Obsession, we feature monograms and talk about their rich history, and Destinations focuses on Maison de la Luz in New Orleans. In Designer Q&A, we catch up with Atlanta designer Mallory Mathison Glenn, who has a fresh and colorful approach to design. Sustainability is increasingly important in all things, and we highlight a few products that are at the forefront of this revolution in On Trend. I hope you find inspiration in this issue and encourage you to celebrate early and often with family and friends.
