PRIVATE QUARTERS

When Logan and Brenda Lineberry purchased their home in 2017, they were able to get in early enough in the building process to pick some finishes and details. Over the last few years, however, they’ve really made the space their own, mixing utility and style to create a home that fits their needs.

“I love function meeting things I love. It’s just the perfect balance,” said Brenda.

This philosophy applies to pieces like the antique sideboard in the Lineberrys’ kitchen, which adds a touch of charm to their contemporary house and also serves as a coffee station with storage. Another example is the custom chair in the den, which was made by Fabrics & Furnishings in Conyers with durable Crypton fabric.

Even their Mannington vinyl flooring has the look of ash wood but is easy to clean and surprisingly durable.

“I have to have things that function and are not just pretty. I want it to be both. I don’t want to have a museum that I live in,” she said.

In fact, their main living area itself is an example of style and utility, with its open flow and soothing tones.

The space is chic and inviting, but its open-concept layout gives Logan and Brenda the ability to be in the same space while doing different tasks.

“My husband bakes a lot. He makes pizzas and bread, and he rolls out the bread on that big slab of quartz, and we’re in the same room now,” said Brenda. “In the last house we lived in, it was completely separate.”

The new layout works much better for the couple, who can now spend time together while they both work in whatever way they wish.

“I just walk around and say ‘I love my house,’” said Brenda. “It’s just perfect.”

REYNOLDS ROGERS TEXT BY SHANNON DOMINY/PHOTOS BY The coffee station along one side of Logan and Brenda Lineberry’s kitchen is an antique sideboard purchased at Olive Branch Antiques in Monroe and painted in Sherwin-williams Anchors Aweigh with a top that Brenda stained herself. Above it hangs a shelf with cup hooks from Hobby Lobby that holds mugs given to the couple by their kids on special occasions or picked up by them on travels. Above sits a stenciled piece of art that Logan made for Brenda’s birthday one year.

Logan and Brenda Lineberry purchased their newly built Roswell home in 2017. They now live there with their dog, Sadie, and their cat, Bunny. Since buying their home, they’ve made cosmetic updates like a new tile backsplash, shiplap in the powder room and drop zone and fresh paint throughout the bottom floor to really make the space their own. Logan is an IT manager at Havertys, and Brenda is a real estate agent.

The den of Logan and Brenda Lineberry’s home is neutral and bright, with touches of their personality that make the room homey. A custom chair made with Crypton fabric by Fabrics & Furnishings in Conyers is an example of the combination of utility and style that Brenda favors. The couple added the wood detailing over the fireplace and topped off the area with a mirror from Arhaus.

The outdoor furniture on Brenda and Logan Lineberry’s back porch has been painted many colors, and currently all the furniture on the porch is painted Sherwin-williams Extra White. The swing was a gift from Brenda’s sister, and the chair was purchased by her parents in the 1960s.
