This week on my trip to Atlanta I met designer Smith Hanes. He is the talent behind Atlanta’s hottest restaurant, OPTIMIST. The space is fabulous; open, modern, relaxed with an industrial and vintage twist. High ceilings, warm wood, linen curtains and layered textures make this grand space warm and friendly. In addition, Smith has created a divine bar where hanging out with friends, eating oysters and having a drink is a wonderful experience.
