This special before and after issue of Southern Home showcases homeowners and designers that worked to breathe new life into beautifully constructed homes that had yet to reach their full potential. As you flip through these pages, it is our new year’s wish that you find inspiration and joy in seeing these spectacular transformations.
What’s inside the Before + After issue?
A traditional red brick Louisiana home receives a light and bright makeover and finds an elegant balance of modern fixtures and classic furnishings. In Palm Beach, a stately home gets an updated landscape design that creates a welcoming, walkable oasis for the homeowners and their guests. A family looking to turn their weekend Virginia farmhouse into their permanent residence work with a designer to transition from a formal household to a lively and functional abode that reflects the comfortable beauty of the countryside. Happy New Year from the Southern Home team! We hope the year 2020 brings all of your “before and after” dreams into fruition.

Light & Lively
A Lake Charles, Louisiana, couple enlists Little Rock-based designer Debi Davis to turn their home into an airy, comfortable retreat. Davis used her signature light and neutral palette, and meaningful pieces, including the homeowners’ art collection, to transformed the home into a practical gathering place for entertaining friends and family.
Tropical Paradise
When a stately home on Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway changed hands, the new owners gave landscape architect Keith Williams of Nievera Williams Design the chance to revisit the property he had renovated 10 years prior for the former owners. Explore the modern and functional transformation Williams gave the home to unite the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Family Focused
While some interior designers may ask their clients questions involving their aesthetic and color preferences, Sara Hillery of Sara Hillery Interior Design prefers a more personal, unique approach. She began by asking them questions like, “What kind of music do you listen to?” and “What are your favorite hobbies?” An active family of six looking to remodel and personalize their historic Richmond home, enlists the expertise of Hillery to create an intimate space.
Lofty Intentions
Discover how to give your interiors undeniable flair that spans the style gamut from rustic to refined by rising the roof with exposed wood beams or trusses for elevating effects.
