Tucked away in the beautiful Brookwood Hills of Atlanta, a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 1925 home has undergone a bold refresh by none other than Katie Wolf of Wolf Interiors. Seamlessly blending historic charm with fresh, fearless design, we just adore this magical home.

The homeowners, both attorneys, were drawn to Katie’s work after touring her own Brookwood Hills home, a fellow 1920s gem. They knew straight away she would be the one to execute their vision of honor the house’s nearly century-old roots while infusing it with warmth, personality, and an artful sense of play.

From the moment one steps through the front door, it’s clear that this is not a home that shies away from rich tones, patterns, and textures. A pale pink entryway, selected after much debate over the perfect shade, sets the tone, offering a soft yet striking contrast to the home’s original stone and shingle exterior. A performance fabric-covered bench ensures that style meets practicality, standing up to the daily whirlwind of backpacks, sports gear, and jackets from the family’s three young children.

Creating a dynamic flow between rooms was a top priority. The central hall is framed by striking green mirror fondly dubbed as “Kermit.” Kermit, in turn, reflects the dining room’s show-stopping chandelier, a sculptural green marvel made from recycled bottles. Given the choice between a classic crystal fixture and this bold beauty, the homeowner took one look and declared, “This speaks to me.” And just like that, the deal was sealed. At night, it casts an atmospheric glow, transforming the space into something truly magical.

Art takes center stage in this home, with a carefully curated collection of works by Southern female artists. In the living room, a bold geometric piece by Kristin Shearer shares the spotlight with Maggie Thomason’s intricate floral collages. Olivia Fields’ cowgirl portrait makes a spirited first impression in the entryway, while the powder room showcases striking pieces by Rebecca Jack and Shannon Coppage. An AK Hardeman work anchors the breakfast room, further enriching the home’s layered, collected charm.

Katie, a former attorney herself, found an instant rapport with the homeowners, sharing not only a professional background but also a keen appreciation for detail and storytelling in design. A killer combination! That connection has since evolved into a close friendship, with design decisions often extending beyond the home’s walls. On a recent trip to Mexico, the designer and homeowner discovered a stunning silver bowl topped with a sculptural bird. It is now nestled into the home’s ever-growing collection of treasures.

This is a home that will continue to evolve over time as the family changes and grows, embracing new layers while staying true to its  bones. With each thoughtful addition, the home’s story will continue to unfold, proof that great design is never truly finished, only enriched over time!
