Mayree’s bedroom is not your typical
teenage girl’s room. She told Julia that
she wanted a layered, neutral bedroom
of grays, reclaimed wood and industrial
elements. The hanging bed shows the
chain motif used in other areas of the
home. Behind the bed, a wall is treated
with a Mica wall covering from Maya
Romanoff. French shutters from the
18th century, with their original patina,
adorn another wall. A Gustavian secretary from the mid-19th century, with
original orange striped interior, adds
an unexpected dose of color to the
otherwise neutral space.
The art takes center stage again in
Mayree’s office. The images are by
renowned Atlanta artist Todd Murphy.
The French desk is from the 1940s
and the ombre fabric at the window is
custom made to ensure the gradations
are proportionate to the space in which
it will be displayed.
The artist photographs items found in
nature and uses software to create a
photomontage of these images onto
the dress form. His works possess the
underlying themes of metamorphosis,
allusion and capturing life in the moment.
