The Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles' Home for the Holidays Showhouse is one of the city’s favorite winter traditions. Formerly known as the Christmas House, Home for the Holidays is an annual showcase of Atlanta's leading design talents, and Ramsay Nye was honored to be included amongst a roster of A-list interior designers. The home, located on top of a hill on Habersham Road, was inspired by the 1890s-1920s English Arts and Crafts style of Sir Edwin Lutyens. The stone-and-brick residence conveys a strong connection to its heavily canopied landscape—fitting for the showhouse’s beneficiary, the Southeastern Horticultural Society. Ramsay Nye reimagined a large bonus room as a modern day speakeasy, creating a true destination within the home. The walls are swathed in a dusty black hue to create a moody vibe, while multiple multiple seating areas—including a center card table, and custom daybeds tucked into the deep eaves and surrounded by lounge seating—entice friends to linger just a little while longer.
