“I saw this house on Serenbe’s Instagram feed one day. It just stood out,” says Ryan Hughes, founder of R Hughes showroom, who called his good friend and real estate agent Jared Sapp to go look at it. At the showing, Hughes convinced Sapp—who was not seriously in the market at the time—that this small brick cottage was just the escape Sapp needed. Even in Atlanta’s feistiest traffic, Sapp can get from his modern Midtown high-rise to this soulful spot in Serenbe’s Mado community in under an hour.

Before Sapp had much time to question the idea, Hughes made a deal-sealing offer to oversee the decorating of the still under-construction home. He also volunteered the design services of his R Hughes partner, Steven Leonard. Both men are adamant that they are not decorators, but Hughes had a hunch about this house and the deal was done. Plus, “Jared made a solemn promise to let us run with it,” says Leonard.
