Three children under the age of three has proven more challenging than I could have ever imagined, so please excuse any errors you may find! While I am fully immersed in postpartum bliss, including diapers, bottles, and pumping on a revolving track, we have another beautiful issue to present—our Great Gatherings Issue— a celebration of coming together with friends and family. G Katherine Weeks Mulford, one half of the amazingly talented team behind Addison Weeks, loves to entertain during the holidays. Mulford shares how she preps for holiday parties and let us in on her gift exchange, which was as impec- cably designed as her pieces are (page 24). And who better to ask about the best gifts than designers who scour local stores and vendors for the perfect piece to complete a client’s home? We tasked five local designers with choosing gifts and putting their own personal touches on them with gift wrap. The result is a gift guide worth checking out (page 18). This issue is all about repurposing and reusing to create beautiful and comfortable spaces for families to gather together during every season of their l ives. For visionary architect Frank Smith and builder Phil Goodwin, they could see past their clients’ rundown Eastover home and envision the endless possibilities. It was designer Kathryn Dixon’s finishing touch to the project that resulted in a sophisticated upgrade of a home that many would’ve razed instead of embracing its stunning architectural details that make it unique (page 86). Nearby, architect Ken Pursley and designer Bronwyn Ford transformed a client’s Eastover home by utilizing the homeowners’ existing pieces. By repurpos- ing them, Ford was able to create a design that was warm and inviting and ideal for entertaining friends and family for years to come (page 62). Finally, designer Kelley Vieregg’s clients came to her with a dated, circa-1971 home in Foxcroft that needed serious updating. Together with architect Susan Dudley and Alair Homes, Vieregg gutted the interior, leaving a blank canvas for the team to install a clean and sophisti- cated—but ultimately comfortable—interior for the growing family (page 74). With time off this winter, now might be a great time to visit our Southern neighbor, Atlanta. Writer and travel expert Sarah Crosland dishes on everything ATL, including the top places to dine and stay, but, more importantly, where to shop—with a focus on home design and decor that you do not want to miss (page 42). Despite the sleep deprivation and nonstop toddler corralling, I’m trying to remind myself that these days are fleeting and to hold onto them as tightly as possible. I wish you and yours a joyous holiday season and a very Merry Christmas filled with precious moments that will transform into cherished memories you’ll look back on for years to come. Cheers!
