The Atlanta Homes and Lifestyle Magazine held their
annual Christmas Showhouse. It seems to get more
difficult to fit things in at the holidays, but the
Touring Gals and I squeezed this one in during the
last week of the show.
As with all Showhouses there are things that
I consider excellent and others not so much.
This year's house was a little light on the excellent.
But come view the pictures and I will let you
decide for yourself! Everyone has differnt taste
and that what makes the design world so interesting!
The entry hall was designed by Barbara Westbrook.
The glittery objects on the wall are butterflies.
To the left of the foyer is the Dining Room designed
by Kay Douglass.
The Study was to the right of the Foyer.
These chaises made me want to curl up and read.
It was designed by James Wheeler.
One of our favorite rooms was this Powder Room
by Clary Bosbyshell. It was so elegant.
This darling little tree in the Powder Room came
from the gift shop at Atlanta's Swan and Coach House.
I personally like this Bar Room designed by Robert Brown.
He also did the Living Room which was painted in the
Pantone color of the year Ultra Violet.
It was a big room with lots of colors. (The wall color shows
up better in the first picture.)
The Master Bedroom was designed by John Oetgen, sitting
on the bed above.
This bedroom was full of interesting pieces.
A close up of the bed. I love an animal print,
but I am not quite sure about the tiny chair?
The Master Bathroom was designed by Cathy Rhodes.
A very large and beautiful master bathroom!
Everyone always wants to see the kitchen.
This one was excellent. Designed by Meridith McBrearty,
it was inviting and definitely a gathering place for the family!
Looking from the kitchen into the breakfast room
and keeping room.
The breakfast room was also designed by Meredith
McBrearty and flowed off the kitchen.
The keeping room was designed by Shayelyn Woodberry.
This porch would be perfect today if it had a
roaring fire in the fireplace.
Yvonne McFadden designed this covered porch.
I know everyone has a laundry room like this one.
This one looks a little more suitable for laundry.
It was designed by Lauren Davenport Imber.
This stairwell was designed by Zeb Grant and showcased
the artwork from the Trinity School Spotlight on Art.
Here is a closeup of the floral design that Zeb created.
At the top of the stairs was this upstair lounge created
by Jimmy Stanton from Stanton Home Furnishings.
This precious little boy's room got 5 stars
from the Touring Gals!
This is a peek into the bath off the boy's bedroom.
I had a rocking horse just like this one when
I was a little girl.
I felt like I was under the big top!
Another guest room designed by Alice Crammer.
My favorite "adult" bedroom was designed
by Paricia McLean.
It was just elegant!
She also did this bathroom too!
I hope you enjoyed this Holiday Tour! If you look
closely, there is always something you will find
that catches your eye in each picture!
I want to wish each and every one of you
A Very Merry Christmas!
