Hidden away in the heart of Alabama, interior designer Mallory Smith’s home sits nestled in a haven brimming with elegant charm. “Our neighborhood is very secluded, so when we get home, we feel like we’re on vacation,” she describes. “It’s a special place.” Here, antique furnishings mingle with modern comforts, resulting in an abode that is both pleasing to the eye and inviting to the soul. Many of the older objects that fill its rooms are treasures that the designer gleaned from France, where she often peruses brocantes alongside her mother and sister, who together own an antiques store.
