ARCHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR DESIGN IN BUCKHEAD

Francophile Peggy Stone and son and architect Duane Stone designed and decorated this beautiful Buckhead home. The home, which took three years to complete, is absolutely stunning. The Normandy styled architecture and Peggy's French antiques meld beautifully together. ENJOY!

This beautiful home and several others can be seen in the April issue of Veranda.

FRENCH ART DECO ON PARK AVENUE

It was love at first sight for me. The light blue interior and the dark wood and paneling won me over immediately. Add in the floor to ceiling French-style windows... speechless.

Interior designer David Kleinberg and architect Peter Pennoyer worked in obvious harmony to renovate this 1920s Italian Renaissance-style Park Avenue apartment. The couple wanted a timeless architecture with a modern interior. Mission accomplished. ENJOY!

This is the second home I have shown in the past month designed by Peter Pennoyer. To see more of this over-the-top beautiful home see the April issue of Veranda.

ROBERTO BERGERO ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN PARIS

I will be in meetings all day Monday, but I wanted to leave you with the beautiful work of this talented designer.

Interior designer Robert Bergero is anxious to say the least, and he changes things up frequently. Bergero not only designs his own beautiful homes, he doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves and creating much of what he uses in his stunning palettes. His Paris apartment is a testament to his talent.

Brought up on a farm, Bergero desired to design from an early age. The designer held many jobs, such as being an antique dealer in San Francisco, a stylist in Stockholm, and presently running his own design firm. His frequent moves and redesigning of his own homes leave those who know him scratching their heads. "I treat interiors as if they were stage sets," says the designer. ENJOY!

To read more about this design talent and his homes pick up a copy of the April issue of Veranda.
