The kitchen lanterns were a way “to incorporate some more brass elements,” says designer Tifany Hinton. Homeowner Caroline Stephens wanted more elegance and items with classic farmhouse style, and “this was a good blend between the two.”

There’s something magical about a classic Southern farmhouse. The warmth of living with reminders of generations past is the inspiration behind this 3,275-squarefoot heritage property in Valdosta, Georgia. The homeowners, Shane and Caroline Stephens, inherited the estate “from their grandparents on her side,” says designer Tiffany Hinton of Lola Interiors. Built on a street full of beautiful older houses, the home needed to “fit in with the classic style that’s present there.” An understanding of the elements of classic Southern elegance was the key to creating a farmhouse-style home full of historical charm.
