The Story of an Athens Cottage

After a few years in New York City working for the textile company Hable Construction, Lucy returned to her hometown of Athens for its creative community, her family, and her then-fiancé, Jim. Now Lucy and Jim have been happily married Athenians for three years, and their charming cottage is filled with a stylish collection of furnishings, each piece with a sentimental story. Take a tour with us through their one-of-a-kind home.

Lucy’s Style Secret: Layer a variety of patterned rugs over a neutral sisal floor covering.
