Heather
With a background in fashion, merchandising, and visual branding, Heather brings a refined eye for color, texture, and composition to every project. Her love of interiors began early while watching the design process unfold during the construction of her family home, where working alongside a designer sparked a lasting appreciation for layered, thoughtful spaces. After earning a degree in marketing and working as a visual brand manager, she pursued interior design full-time, later serving as lead designer at a prominent Buckhead firm. It was there she met Wren, and their natural creative synergy led to the founding of HW Interiors. Together, they create timeless, collected homes that thoughtfully balance beauty, function, and individuality.
Wren
Wren approaches interiors through an artist’s lens, blending architectural sensibility with warmth and livability. Her passion for design was shaped early through a childhood immersed in antiques, construction, and home renovation. After teaching art, she launched her own interior design business before joining a Buckhead design firm, where she and Heather discovered an exceptional collaborative partnership. Their shared vision led to the founding of HW Interiors, where Wren continues to craft layered, soulful interiors that feel both timeless and deeply personal. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and more than 25 years of design experience, she brings both artistry and depth of expertise to every project.

Courtney Agosti Interior Design
Courtney Brown
Charleston, SC
SHOWHOUSE: FOYER/POWDER ROOM/STAIRWELL
Courtney Brown launched Courtney Agosti Interior Design in 2003, starting from a modest work closet in her home. With two young boys in tow and a baby girl born later that year, she grew her design firm alongside her children. Then and now, she inherently addresses every project with a deeply personal, familial perspective.
Recognizing each client is as unique as a thumbprint, Courtney takes time to learn the nuances of how they live, entertain, and relax. This intimate insight into her clients’ dreams and even their limitations help her formulate a well balanced plan, and more importantly, environments that reflect the lives within them. Courtney transforms blank canvases of space into authentic and livable art customized for each client.
Her design approach is painterly and intuitive; each interior a portrait tailored to its owner. A signature Courtney Agosti space blends the unexpected mix of textures, colors and materials in deliberate contrast. It’s in this masterful balance of polarity where masculine meets feminine, warm meets cool, and old meets new that her designs find depth and distinction.
Her intention is simple yet powerful; to create spaces that invite connection and where the essence of those who live there is felt in every detail.

J. Bienvenu Interiors
Jen S. Bienvenu
Louisville, KY
SHOWHOUSE: LANDING/BATHROOM/LINEN
Jen Bienvenu is the founder and principal of J. Bienvenu Interiors. Her work is defined by a reverence for history and a collector’s instinct. Her spaces are shaped not by trends, but by the thoughtful accumulation of art, antiques, and objects. Drawing from the English aesthetic and classical decorating traditions, Bienvenu composes interiors that feel as though they have evolved over time.
A hallmark of her approach is sourcing the majority of furnishings and artwork from antique dealers nationwide, resulting in interiors rich with patina, character, and narrative. Natural elements like shells, corals, wood, and textiles are interwoven with human-made pieces, creating environments that reflect both place and person.
Bienvenu’s work has recently been featured in published home tours in House Beautiful and Architectural Digest, bringing her point of view to a national audience. Her work continues to earn recognition within the design community, including a recent award for Best Specialty Space in the Southeast, presented by Traditional Home and the Nashville Design Collective for a library designed for an Arkansas client, an immersive room layered with books, antiques, and natural specimens that speaks to our human instinct to collect and our fascination with the natural world.
She works on residential and hospitality projects across Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, New York, and beyond, bringing her signature sensibility to historic homes, new builds, and thoughtfully reimagined spaces alike.

Macon, GA
SHOWHOUSE: BEDROOM/BATH 3
Courtney specializes in creating unique and aesthetically appealing spaces for sophisticated and collected interiors. Infusing design personality into homes in Atlanta, Georgia and beyond. A Georgia native, Courtney grew up in an area where tradition is rooted like the old oak trees. Courtney started at a young age shopping alongside her mother for antiques, rearranging furniture, and changing paint colors to update the aesthetic of her childhood home, and beginning her love for interiors. After college, Courtney moved to Atlanta and had the opportunity to work alongside Kay Fuller, an interior decorator from her hometown. During this time, Kay helped her refine her skills and further cemented Courtney’s passion for design. Kay taught Courtney how to source items and perfectly pair them with modern touches. After working with Kay in Atlanta, Courtney opened her own design firm, Courtney Moss Design. While being drawn towards traditional design, Courtney also gravitates towards the eclectic. Finding an antique piece and mixing it with modern pieces, good artwork, and fun fabrics gives her design work the flair that her clients seek.

Working with her client's design vision, Courtney creates spaces that are stylish yet comfortable.

A Chicago native and Harrington College of Design graduate, Jennifer’s passion for art and interiors began early. She enjoyed painting pottery and spending time at her grandmother’s potter’s wheel, where a love for form, texture, and craftsmanship first took root.
