The Holidays Get a European Touch

November 24, 2010 in Designing, Editor Favorites, Events, shopping by Kate | 1 comment

Enterprising garden and floral designer Marie-Laure Coste Dujols, the visionary we profiled for our June 2010 Design Dossier, extends her well-cultivated sense of beauty and nature to her projects for Le Jardin Francais, her highly regarded Atlanta-based floral, garden and event design company. So naturally, we’d expect nothing less than such brilliance from her holiday pop-up shop, Boutique de Noel, located at the Westside Urban Market. Boutique de Noel stocks amazing European holiday décor, boxwood topiaries, potted bulbs, wreaths made from a variety of natural materials and much more. Sophisticated, elegant and charming are fitting adjectives to describe the display, which remains open through December 20. We think you’ll find it as lovely as Coste Dujols herself. 1198-B Howell Mill Rd., Atlanta, GA 30318. (404) 792-1680; lejardinfrancais.com

Under contract: Developer Katie Walker’s Buckhead home

Katie and Ian Walker’s Buckhead home, which was featured in our March issue is under contract, confirms agent Tom Ellicott with PalmerHouse Properties. Katie, owner of TuckerMott, is known for her work on projects such as the Westside Urban Market.

Designed by architects Keith Summerour and Kenneth Garcia, the home at 2952 Howell Mill Road was listed for $4.2 million (down from an original asking price at $5.2 million). Ellicott could not disclose the contract price but says there were “spirited negotiations” that resulted in the Walkers agreeing to a price lower than the asking price.

Ellicott, who had the listing 30 days (it was listed five or so months prior with another firm as well), says he knew the distinctive design – a modern home with classic design elements – was going to attract a particular type of buyer. He says the buyer is a top-level executive with multiple homes and his wife is from the Atlanta area.Interior

“Once he got a sense for Summerour design, this one was clearly the standout,” he says.
