Entertainer Kountry Wayne is known for brightening up people’s days with his comedy, so when he bought a new house, he wanted his space to reflect a similarly open and bright aesthetic. For that job, he turned to Atlanta sisters and design partners Barbara Elliot and Jennifer Ward-Woods.

The interior designers have been in business together since 1997, and their company, The Sisters and Company, has grown to become one of the most consistently successful design firms in the city.

With deep roots in the Atlanta community, the sisters “excel at creating spaces tailored to each client’s specific lifestyle, tastes, and needs,” according to the company’s website. Their interior design firm is based in Stone Mountain, where they also have a retail store with a carefully curated selection of luxurious and one-of-a-kind home furnishings.
