Shane Meder has been practic-ing design for more than twenty years, and his Atlanta-based fi rm, Black Sheep Interiors, is committed to offering highly personalized interior design to clients. The fi rm’s projects are concentrated on new construc-tion throughout the Atlanta area, but their work has also included the interior design of estates in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Hilton Head, Brussels and London. For Meder, principal designer of Black Sheep Interiors, interior design is a passion. Meder has won numerous Designers’ Choice awards from the Atlanta design community. Southern Living chose Meder as the designer for their fi rst Idea House. He was also a pioneer in home interior design television. Before HGTV, Trading Spaces, and Top Design

ever reached the concept stage, Meder brought great design to the viewing public as host of the TV series, “Creating Style with Shane Meder”, which aired na-tionally on NBC. The work of Black Sheep Interiors has been featured in national magazines

such as Southern Living and Better Homes & Gar-dens and local publications including Atlanta maga-zine. Meder has been profi led in The Atlanta Journal - Constitution and the Atlanta Business Chronicle. The signature of Black Sheep Interiors is com-bining passion, talent and simply good taste when it comes to designing comfortable and stylish interi-

ors. Meder’s philosophy is that a man spends a lifetime in his travels looking for

things to make him happy. Only to fi nd when he re-turns home....that he had it all along.

BE INSPIRED BY THINGS YOU LOVE, AND THEN SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ELEMENTS OF THEIR BEAUTY.

Maria Nutt, owner and principal designer of McLaurin Interiors begins every project with a complimentary consultation to discover the client’s interests and lifestyle. The goal is to create a home that has the “ah” factor every time they enter. Rooms designed by McLaurin Interiors have often been described as calming and serene, beckoning yet sophisticated. This, in part, is due to the monochromatic style with intermittent use of color and the explicit attention to detail. Recently, Maria Nutt was selected to receive an ASID Design Excellence Award in the category of residential projects over 3500 sq ft. McLaurin Interiors was also a winner in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles “2011 Homes of the Year.” Maria’s work is featured in the newly released book, Interiors Southeast.
