Desingers Kay Douglass  & Kelly Wearstler featured in Dutch magazine.

It doesn’t happen that often that international designers are featured in Dutch or Belgian Interior & Lifestyle magazines.

The magazine MORE THAN CLASSIC is a gorgeous pestigious magazine about international living and is one of my favorite magazines.

A few months ago there was a photoshoot of my home to be published in one of the next issues. I am so looking forward to see the result!

 

The article of the Atlanta based designer Kay Douglass drawed my attention!

The cover of the latest Dutch Interior & Lifestyle Magazine MTC (More Than Classic) shows the living room of the house of Kay Douglass.

Cover Magazine More Than Classic, issue 2011/3

                                                       House of Kay Douglass at the first pages of the magazine’s article, titled “Belgian chic in Georgia”.

The article tells about the house of Kay Douglass, that is built in the Tudor style mixed with European, and in particular Belgian design elements.

Notice the steel windows of the house! And the brick façade looks as if it was ever painted and as if time has peeled off the paint slowly. The exterior of the house is imperfect. As Kay says , it has a ‘crunchy’ look.

 

Kay’s living room has indeed the characteristics of a Belgian living room : linen slipcovered chairs, stained wooden doors, the stools and the chandelier.

Kay explains that the Belgian style is of a great importance to her design work. She travelled to Europe for the first time in 1999 and came back to the US with a container full of Belgian furniture and accessories, although she hadn’t no idea where to place them! A few days after, she opened her store South of Market.

Ever since she frequently travels to Europe and loves to visit Paris, Brussels and Antwerp.

‘The Belgians have an approach that appeals to me : beautiful, luxurious but not overdone.’, Kay explains. And she loves the style of Axel Vervoordt, who is giving re-birth to discarded items.

Interior Designer Kay Douglass

I've always loved Belgian interiors. Light wooden floors and ceilings, lots of linen, grey and earth colours, Belgian bluestone, antique lamps and repurposed items all make up this serene and inviting southern home designed by Kay Douglass.



In the foyer, the juxtaposition of an oversize honey-coloured antique table and pale walls against dark bluestone floors. Douglass found the table, which often doubles as a buffet for the dining room beyond, in Belgium. Walls, molding, and ceiling are all in Benjamin Moore's Seapearl.


In the living room, an unstained concrete fireplace surround highlights the golden patina of natural wood. White tufted chairs, creamy linen window treatments, and an abaca carpet present a neutral backdrop for red slipcovered wing chairs. A black Yuan Dynasty glazed urn and antique cutting boards are displayed on a French console.


In the dining room, raw wood ceiling and timeworn Belgian dining table. Mirrors are custom-made to seem "crusty and old," says Douglass, and curtains are crisp oyster-coloured silk.


The dining room table looks best set for a casual meal.


The kitchen design embodies the Belgian penchant for simplification, with its clean-lined gray-green cabinets and untreated pecky cypress ceiling. Counters are Calcutta Gold marble, and the breakfast area's farm table and Chinese chairs are antiques. An old southern door serves as both picturesque focal point and family photo album.


The steely severity of industrial materials played against warm wood tones is something Douglass often sees in Belgian interiors. That aesthetic inspired her placement of industrial pendant lamps over the kitchen island and her use of metal tiles for the backsplashes.


In the sunroom, stone-brown slipcovered chaises are backlit by rows of windows dressed in Belgian linen. A bright yellow metal antique table provides a handy place for a glass of wine or cup of coffee.


At the stairway landing, outdoor-style half shutters dress the windows, as in a European house.


True to the Belgian stylebook, the family room is comfortable and inviting but without a lot of furniture. Ancient French doors open into a custom media cabinet and provide the room's startling focus. A high-backed sofa is upholstered in linen, and walls are paneled in wide horizontal planking.


In the master bedroom, an antique door is the headboard. A pair of Earl chairs at the end of the bed. Walls are Seapearl by Benjamin Moore.


The master bathroom's dark floor tiles, "has those Belgian grays and browns I am drawn to," says Douglass.


Antique botanicals on a master bedroom wall are German, "but I found them in Belgium!" she says.
