Shine On

It’s a universally acknowledged truth that a hint of shine in any interior space is a welcome addition. Adding metallics is no longer trendy; it’s practically a design imperative. But today’s metallics go far beyond gold and silver. From polished brass to matte bronze and everything in between, here are some shiny decor items to add interest to your space.

ENA Swivel Armchair (price upon request) Italian brand Lazzoni’s classic ENA chair is the swivel seat of your dreams. Its curved back almost seems to hug the person sitting in it, creating a comfortable, cozy and stylish embrace. A pair can serve as a vignette seating area, but the two might steal the show from any sofa. If metallic is not your preferred finish, it comes in additional leather options as well.

Calling Atlanta Home

Ask me where I want to live in the entire world, and I would say that I am already there. Atlanta is a vibrant city rich in art and culture with a booming economy, charming neighborhoods, and a heaping helping of Southern Expert Contributor, hospitality. This, and much more, has earned Atlanta Jenni Bonura President and CEO, a top-ranking spot in The Harry Norman, REALTORS® Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Cities to Visit in 2022, the only American city to make the list.

Businesses have been putting us on the map for some time. Georgia has been recognized as the best state for doing business for 8 consecutive years, and Atlanta has consistently held the #1 or #2 spot for America’s Best Relocation City. It is our winning combination of diversity, climate, and relative affordability that makes Atlanta a top destination to live, work, and play.

Brimming with opportunity, Georgia is gaining global interest, and even Royal interest. Recently, Harry Norman, REALTORS® had the privilege of representing the Atlanta real estate market during the 2022 Belgian Economic Mission to the U.S., an event that brought a delegation of over 300 Belgian Business and Government officials to Atlanta, including HRH Princess Astrid of Belgium.

Belgian Royalty is not the only high-profile attention Georgia is receiving; our growing car manufacturing industry continues to make headlines bringing record jobs to our state. As the thriving film industry sets up shop, claiming Atlanta as the ‘Hollywood of the South’, spotting industry icons dining at world-class restaurants or shopping designer fashion is a common part of the Atlanta experience.

I’m often asked where is the best place to buy a home, and without a doubt, it’s Atlanta. As the leader of a company with a 92-year Atlanta heritage, I know its local love and far-reaching appeal. For those that have yet to experience the wonders of Atlanta, I look forward to welcoming you to your new home.
