A Colorful New Chapter: How Julie Kleiner Transformed a Decatur Townhome with Vibrant Design

Sometimes change finds you before you were expecting it, and that’s just what happened to a client of Julie Kleiner of Massucco Warner Interior Design. As she explains, “I had been living in my 1947 craftsman-style bungalow in Decatur, Georgia, for 25 years and always expected to move into a newer house as I aged, but I ended up making that move sooner rather than later.”

She had always admired these townhomes only half a mile away from her house, and when one became available, she seized the opportunity. The new house, however, was completely different from her former one—four stories high with an elevator and a more open plan. The homeowner soon realized that some professional help was in order, so she enlisted Kleiner, who had worked on her sister’s home in San Francisco. In addition to help with scale and space planning, the client wanted her new home to be filled with captivating color throughout.
