HOUSE TOUR | Southern Maximalism Meets Traditional Style in This Georgia Cottage | 4K

James welcomes us into Farmdale, the charming cottage he built about ten years ago in his hometown. Inspired by both the Lowcountry and the North Carolina mountains, the home is surrounded by lush gardens with clipped hedges and flowering borders. Inside, the interiors are equally traditional—warm, layered, and distinctly Southern, with every room telling a story of comfort and charm.

Throughout his career, James has designed homes across the country and published numerous books on gracious living. His latest, Home Again: A Return to Gracious Interiors, highlights homes he and his team have designed across the South and beyond, showcasing the enduring beauty of traditional style.
