Buckhead midcentury home full of creative touches – The Atlanta Journal Constitution

Jessicas own personal touches include her original artwork and custom designs featured throughout the house, plus modern hardware on the cabinets through her company Nest Studio. An impressive collection of her art amassed over the past decade from estate sales, local artists, and online also pepper the walls.

Other creative surprises up her sleeve to the delight of her two children Lucy, 7, and Bryan, 10 include a secret passageway leading to Lucys bedroom, plus some custom beds and forts that Jessica built for their bedrooms.

Her kids even had a hand in making some of the artwork in the house, and were key decision-makers in design schemes for their bedrooms. I mocked up what things could look like and gave them some choices, then pinned up wallpaper options so they could make selections, Jessica says. Im always trying to design spaces that are family- and kid-friendly.
