More About “Rooted, Refined & Real: Why Southern Design is Always in Style” at DISCOVER ADAC

What's the easiest way to infuse a home with personality? Hint: It has nothing to do with dupes, two-day shipping, or influencer-driven sales. In a conversation led by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Editorial Director Lauren Iverson, architect Jeffrey Dungan and interior designers Karen Ferguson and Mary Mac McWilliams share why authenticity and originality matter today more than ever while diving into the evolution of Southern Design—from the traditions and concepts that shaped the genre to the contemporary ideals refining homeowners' desire for hospitable Southern design, and an aesthetic that will always endure.



Following the presentation, join Jeffrey, Karen, Mary Mac, and Lauren at Jerry Pair for a reception celebrating two new books: Jeffrey's “The Soulful House” and Harrison Design's “Transcending Tradition.” Enjoy light refreshments and explore the showroom's latest fall collections. (Jerry Pair | Suite 508)
