One cool home: This Ormewood Park resident decorated her 1930s bungalow with an “eclectic mix”

Kim Anderson never thought she’d return to Atlanta, where she spent much of her childhood. Her father’s job at the Atlanta Falcons brought the family to Roswell when she was in middle school. After graduating from Stanford, she headed to New York, then London, then Brooklyn for several years. Yet, she felt a pull to the city she grew up in. “I realized I hadn’t fully experienced Atlanta and how it had expanded and transitioned into what it is today,” she says. She and her husband settled in a 1930s Prairie-style craftsman bungalow in Ormewood Park with details like original picture railings and wood paneling.
