TEXTURE AND HANDMADE TOUCHES DEFINE THIS MOODY MEMPHIS BUNGALOW

Resourcefulness and a knack for hospitality come naturally to the Memphis, Tennessee–based designer Sean Anderson. He’s originally from rural Mississippi, a place where (per the designer and this Mississippi-born reporter) you have to create your own fun. That same home-grown spirit animates Anderson’s approach to design, a career for which he had no formal training but had something just as useful: a mother who encouraged his love of art.
“I entered this industry self-taught and have never stopped wanting to learn more, so I consider every day to be an education,” Anderson says. “And every time I’m installing or photographing a project, that’s my final exam.”
So when he recently moved into an eight-room, 1930s bungalow in East Memphis, he was determined to create a place that could hold spaces to entertain and pockets to unwind.
