Talks Showhouses
and 20 Years of Huff
Harrington
In this episode, AH&L Publisher Elizabeth Ralls is joined by Meg Harrington of Huff Harrington Home, Huff Harrington Design, Huff Harrington Fine Art and Huff Harrington Paris for a wide-ranging, joy-filled conversation about creativity, community, and having fun while building a business. Meg shares the inspiration behind her design team’s 2025 Home for the Holidays Showhouse space and why thoughtful details are the secret to creating rooms that truly stop you in your tracks. We also dive into the evolution of Huff Harrington—from selling art out of a living room to becoming a beloved Atlanta art gallery—and how that journey led to diversified ventures, Paris buying trips, a new trade program, and over 20 years of friendship and fun in the Atlanta design community. Along the way, Meg reflects on her life in Historic Brookhaven, reveals her go-to best white paint, and reminds listeners that life is too short not to enjoy the process.
