As high rise living goes, this is probably the best that can be had. Just out of curiosity, I looked up high rises in Buckhead, and was astounded at how many there were. I lived in Atlanta in the early 80s and Buckhead had hardly any tall buildings. Sad to think that the whole complexion of that neighbourhood could be changed, simply because it was the best part of town. They couldn’t build more houses, so they went vertical. It’s just not the same now. Too commercial looking.
The fenestration and finishes in this flat are much nicer than usual, and the built-ins really add a lot. And it’s so nice to have a fireplace, although I don’t understand raising it off the ground like that.
Patricia did a wonderful job putting everything together. Wish I could see the gris-verte wall colour a bit better. My monitor shows it as grey, but I’m assuming it’s that wonderful 18th century French green that is so elegant. I once took paint chips to the Metropolitan Museum to try to match the gris-verte in one of the period rooms. The guards got a bit nervous, but when I explained, they were quite nice about it. P.S. I couldn’t match it.
This is a beautiful apartment that has such a calm elegance. I loved how all of the out of favor classic “brown” antiques look in this aerie and not in a granny chic way either. Though I personally am a fan of granny chic. Side note this story also dovetails with Cote De Texas’ post this week about downsizing from a large house to an apartment.

I love the scalloped edges of the Lee Jofa curtains!
