Our Home & Garden Issue holds a special place in my heart. As the daughter of an architect, the late Ed Cheshire III, our family lived design. My fondest memories include Daddy bursting through the doors of our island home, regaling our family about a site visit or meeting with clients. Homes my father designed had names: “The Bieberman House” on St. Simons or “The Zell House” and “Keogh House” on Sea Island. Dad was passionate about space and structure—how everything flowed together—whether the design was modern, classical, or traditional.
Homes & Gardens were central to happiness and joy in our family.
A place to gather and entertain. A quiet space to read and reflect.
Dad considered design and architecture a gift from God.
Something sacred and beautiful. Something to be cherished.
Thus, I am thrilled to present some of the island’s very best home designers, decorators, and retailers who are equally passionate about beautiful spaces in Haute Home. Discover trends and tips, paired with stunning fashion, to celebrate spring. Meet Blaze and Ryan Grady of Lang Building Supply, who share the company’s captivating story of a true business legacy.
