Funny how things can change overnight. Eight years ago, Patty and Dave Clauson had to make a quick move from West Coast to Atlanta for his technology business. A 1924 house was conveniently available in the same neighborhood as their school of choice for their kids. "I flew in on the red-eye, saw the house, and loved it --it had 90 windows!" Patty recalls. "We bought it by 10:30 the next morning." Previously, the Clausons had occupied flats in Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco, where Patty was an art buyer. "This is the first time in our married life that we've actually lived on the ground."

thought to have come from a French auto repair shop. It now serves as a dining
room sideboard and art display. The mirror-and-glass carved angel is by the late
Texas folk artist Control Valdez. (d) Two creations by Patti and
partner Darva Hirsch for their design business, Butter Home. Cotton-linen
slipcovers edged with ribbon adorn the dining room chairs; (e) Belgian linen window
treatments mix solids and patterns. Patterned fabric by Raoul
Textiles.(f) Determined to create a reminder board that her kids could not ignore, Patti
coated an entire wall in the family room with chalkboard paint. An African
tribal table holds books.
