New Atlanta Home

A devastating fire forced homeowners Bonneau and Jennifer Ansley to build a new home. They chose a spot in the Peachtree Battle neighborhood in Atlanta and built a five-bedroom Dutch Colonial home. Architect Charles Heydt designed the home to look like it's been part of the established neighborhood for years.


A façade of Cashiers, North Carolina, fieldstone and a large front porch ensure that this newly constructed Dutch Colonial home complements its mature neighborhood.

A custom limestone-and-pewter hood was the launching pad for the kitchen's soft blue-gray colour palette.


The family room opens up directly into the large kitchen, which features a comfortable eating area that can accommodate up to 14.

The butler's pantry includes copper countertops, wainscot paneling and mirrored walls, as well as a window that opens up to the outdoor courtyard.

It took faux-finish artist Judy Neukrug six weeks to hand-paint the walls of the dining room to look like wallpaper.
