Zoe Gowen, a resident of Birmingham, Alabama, has long been fascinated with Southern historical influences on home remodeling choices. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, she later moved to Birmingham, where she bought and renovated her own home, documenting the entire project from start to finish. Her writing and editing have been featured in Southern magazines such as Veranda, Southern Living, and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. In celebration of Southern Living’s 50th anniversary, Zoe decorated the porch of the magazine’s 2016 “Idea House.”
