David Frazier Updates a Beloved Mid-Century Gem in His Georgia Hometown
There are small towns, and then there are itty-bitty ones. With a population of 3,748, West Point, Georgia, falls into the latter category. “Wanting to be an architect, I knew pretty much every house in town,” says designer David Frazier, who grew up in West Point. One house in particular—a sleek midcentury number—had always intrigued him. “The majority of homes in West Point are more traditional, faux-Georgian, so I was always really curious about this 1960s one. It was a mystery—I had never gone inside.”
In 2020, when a childhood friend bought the place, Frazier finally had the chance not just to peer inside but to work his design wizardry on it. A renovation by previous owners had turned the four-bedroom home into a somewhat chilly white box, and Frazier made it his mission to cozy things up. “It took a little bit of convincing my friend that it could feel warm and be a place that she wanted to live,” the designer recalls of their initial meeting. “I also really wanted it to reflect her personality. She’s like no one you’ve ever met: interesting and even a little eccentric, but in the best way.”
