Inside an Atlanta Industrial Loft - Part 2

Library

Beasley found charm in her apartment by uncovering tinted plaster beneath the peeling paint: "It was mottled and looked like a fresco," says Beasley, who preserved what she could and washed the rest of the walls in clean white.

In this photo: The library's iron daybed, draped with an antique cotton quilt, is more than 100 years old. The midcentury metal floor lamp came from a photo studio. The coffee table's a West Elm bargain.

Creative Space

Occasionally, Beasley disrupts the creamy color scheme with hits of black and gray. "Those darker shades bring attitude," she says. "They give white a high heel and make it pop." But it wasn't until she spread milky paint on the floors that Beasley realized the hue's true power: "It made the entire place glow."

In this photo: A 1970s task lamp sheds light on a corner of the library, where Beasley pins inspirational images on a 5' x 9' corkboard. The stools were carved by Senufo tribesmen in Africa. The floors are painted Ultra Pure White by Behr.

Artistic Arrangement

Taxidermied birds—a 1930s parrot (left) and a Victorian-era Australian Galah—perch among tarted-up storage boxes.

Bright idea: Beasley covered cardboard boxes—which hold arts-and-crafts supplies—in old French maps and newspapers.

Bedroom

Now a stylist, too, the painter travels the globe on photo shoots for furniture ads and catalogs, gathering souvenirs along the way: a rustic wooden stool in Toronto, seashells from the Caribbean, and stacks of French linens, which she uses for upholstery, curtains, and tablecloths. "They are heavy, handwoven, and never too white," Beasley insists. "I've draped my whole world in them!"

In this photo: A poster from a 1978 Richard Avedon retrospective punctuates Anthropologie's wrought-iron bed. On either side, ceramic lamps by Arteriors sit atop mirrored Aidan Gray nightstands. The patterned pillowcase is from West Elm, and the duvet set from Soup Home; Beasley sewed the faux-fur throw herself.

Bright idea: Stashed at the foot of a bed, a large basket is easier to access than a usual trunk.
