Other furnishings, such as a rolled-steel dining table, take their cues from the loft’s industrial windows and concrete floors. “We like for a place to speak to us about what it wants to be,” Bradley says, although “we also definitely wanted to have a little bit of fun”—hence a scattering of more playful pieces such as an Anne Herbst console table supported by carved lions.
Perhaps above all, Bradley and Peter see their new residence as a spot that symbolizes their joined lives, a repository for artworks they have both collected over the years as well as furniture and accessories discovered during travels together to High Point or Paris or Charleston. Much of the art has been acquired in consultation with Robin Sandler of Atlanta’s Sandler Hudson Gallery, and such professional ties are important to the couple. More than a few owners of businesses where the loft’s contents were sourced, Peter explains, “are friends of ours, and we host them in our space. So it’s really nice to have this representation of them in our interiors.”
“I don’t think either of us sees the loft as our forever home,” says Bradley, “but it’s a nice transition, especially for our first years of marriage.” The meaningful things the two have surrounded themselves with, whether brought over by Peter from Germany, kept on from Bradley’s former bachelor pad, or recently purchased à deux, will “continue to find new life in our spaces,” he says, both now and in the future.
