//   A funky ranch-style home gets sophisticated.Linnane Project by Kohl Sudnikovich  One can say that the redesign job on this Atlanta-area home was just what the doctor ordered, since physician Jim Linnane chose Cantoni designer Kohl Sudnikovich to help him re-imagine his 50s ranch-style residence.
