Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse
The most wonderful time of the year is about to get even more glamorous in Atlanta! On November 20th, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles will open the doors to its much-anticipated 2025 Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse, ushering in the season with festive flair, Southern hospitality, and an abundance of design inspiration.
This year’s showcase, set in the heart of Historic Brookhaven, brings together 15 of Atlanta’s most celebrated talents, each transforming a corner of the house into a spirited expression of style. From Patricia McLean’s grand living room to Kristan Moore’s serene primary suite and Kim Regas’s lively game room and bar, expect a home brimming with personality, creativity, and a touch of magic.
This year’s designers include Patricia McLean, Jamie Kirkman, Valerie Garrett, Hope Austin, Kristan Moore, Pelar Fullilove, Anna King, Emily Dunn, June Chamberlain, Randy Korando, Cathy Rhodes, Huff Harrington Design, Jessica Whitley, Kim Regas, and Lisa Brown.
Behind the scenes, the vision was brought to life through the talents of architect Linda MacArthur, builder Livingston Fine Homes, and landscape architect LandPlus Associates, ensuring the perfect canvas for this year’s festivities.

Meredith Ellis for Weezie Towels
Weezie Towels has teamed up with TGP favorite and Dallas-based designer Meredith Ellis for a collaboration that is as charming as it is cozy. And we are already eyeing up each piece! The limited-edition collection celebrates Meredith’s beloved Deakins Vine print, a pattern with deep personal meaning as it was named after her godparents and inspired by treasured holiday memories spent with them. As one of the top-selling designs in her textile line, Deakins Vine perfectly captures Meredith’s signature balance of tradition and playful spirit, making it the ideal choice for Weezie’s first-ever holiday capsule.
The collaboration brings Meredith’s graceful botanicals to a festive selection of pieces, including stockings, wreath sashes, and tree skirts, alongside Weezie favorites like women’s robes and slippers. Each item embodies the her refined yet inviting aesthetic, blending comfort and elegance in equal measure. The result is a collection that feels both heirloom worthy and refreshingly modern, made for those who believe that even the smallest details of holiday living should feel special.
Merging Meredith’s textile artistry with Weezie’s luxurious everyday essentials make for a collection that is meant to be cherished long after the last ornament is packed away. Shop the full collection here.
Laura Ashley Makes a Comeback
At The Glam Pad adores the aesthetic and nostalgia of Laura Ashley. The floral prints, the ruffled bedding, the wallpapered rooms that felt like a countryside dream all live rent free in our collective memory. For so many, Laura Ashley was the gateway to a lifelong love of pattern and prettiness, a brand that taught that romance belonged not only in books, but in our bedrooms and wardrobes.

So, when news broke that Laura Ashley is making a grand return to brick and mortar retail, we could hardly contain our excitement. The beloved British heritage brand just opened its latest standalone store in West Thurrock, United Kingdom, marking a true homecoming for fans old and new.
This new space promises to be the ultimate destination for all things Laura Ashley, from furniture, bedding, and wallpaper to womenswear and accessories. Every corner will celebrate the brand’s enduring English charm and signature prints, reimagined for a new generation yet still steeped in the timeless beauty that defined its heyday.
Longtime devotees will adore seeing familiar florals with modern craftsmanship, while new admirers will discover what has made Laura Ashley such a lasting emblem of grace, femininity, and nostalgia. The comeback follows the brand’s renaissance in recent years, with fresh collaborations, expanded product lines, and a renewed focus on the cozy, romantic lifestyle that first captured hearts decades ago.
With the new shop open and on its way, one thing is certain: Laura Ashley is back, and she is as lovely as ever. We can only hope this marks the beginning of a wider resurgence, one that brings a return to softness, sentiment, and the beauty of home as only Laura Ashley can inspire.
