Furlow Gatewood and a Well-Designed Life

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One magazine lists Furlow Gatewood's age as 92. Another says he is 94. No matter how old he really is, this self-taught antiques dealer has created a home that demonstrates the art of living well. <i>Veranda</i> describes "Peacock House" as a "chic mix of grand and humble" - a combination many people strive to achieve and one that Mr. Gatewood appears to have mastered effortlessly and intuitively. My favorite photo in this post features an antique American quilt paired with a framed fragment of toile in a bedroom. New Orleans-based writer Julia Reed wrote the book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/One-Mans-Folly-Exceptional-Gatewood/dp/0847842525/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398917010&sr=8-1&keywords=one+man%27s+folly" target="_blank">One Man's Folly: The Exceptional Houses of Furlow Gatewood</a> (Rizzoli), which was published on April 22, 2014. The tome depicts the designs of a Southern gentleman who has worked with antiques dealer John Rosselli for decades.

As a longtime associate of legendary New York antiques dealer John Rosselli, 94-year-old Gatewood has spent some sixty years scouring remote lands for finds. One of the many items that he always has his discerning eyes peeled for: blue-and-white porcelain.  Here, we admire his personal collection of chinoiserie pottery that enchantingly consumes his family enclave in small-town Georgia.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renovation, interior design and landscape design by Furlow Gatewood.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photography by Paul Costello and Rodney Collins for <a href="http://www.rizzoliusa.com/book.php?isbn=9780847842520" target="_blank">One Man's Folly: The Exceptional Houses of Furlow Gatewood</a>, Rizzoli.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"</span><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/shopping/books/furlow-gatewood-book?click=main_sr" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">One Designer's Obsession with Blue-and-White Porcelain</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">" by Sarah Bray.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/" target="_blank">House Beautiful</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
