Photos: Brookhaven home gets a contemporary makeover

When Sherry Habif decided to redecorate her Brookhaven home in 2017 she knew she wanted to work with Julia Larrabee Designs. She’d seen Larrabee’s work in a close friend’s home, and she loved that the designer's own style didn’t overshadow the client’s look.

A glass sculpture by Hans Godo Fräbel sits in the center of Sherry Habif’s dining room table. The sculpture of a seated figure seems to be sitting on the icy expanse of Habif’s glass-topped table. The Italian chandelier seems to drip down on him from above. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Quartz countertops and a gray and white backsplash from Floor & Decor give Sherry Habif’s kitchen a soft, neutral vibe. As a former caterer and current event planner, having a kitchen that is beautiful while still being functional is really important to Habif. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Sherry Habif and her late husband Ike Habif built their Brookhaven home in 1991. In 2017 Sherry decided it was time for a fresh look in her home, so she worked with interior designer Julia Larrabee to give her space. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

In Sherry Habif’s master bathroom is another stained glass window made by Jennifer’s Glassworks, installed when Sherry and her late husband Ike Habif built their home in 1991. The stained glass provides privacy in the bathroom, while allowing beautiful light to stream into the space. Above the bath hangs a shelf that houses Sherry’s collection of perfume bottles from all over the world. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Sherry Habif’s home, which she and her late husband Ike Habif built in 1991, is 3,500 square feet with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Two stained glass windows by Jennifer’s Glassworks give the front of the home an eye-catching bit of glitz. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Julia and Ted Larrabee from Julia Larrabee Designs created a custom light box with sparkling pinpricks of light on the ceiling of Sherry Habif’s stunning master bedroom. A chandelier made of two circular rings of light hangs from the box, filling the space with soft white light. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.
