Enjoy this repeat from 2017 and the House of Hope showhouse I was a small part of. Check out my laundry space. This was such a cool project to be a part of!
***********************************************************
Last weekend was so much fun as we gathered as a group of bloggers/designers to see the house all decorated for the opening of the House of Hope Showhouse in Franklin. It’s been a year in the making, so to see all the planning come full circle to fruition was both rewarding and exciting to see. I loved getting to see the house after everyone did their decorating and made this house a beautiful space to behold. Empty houses are gorgeous on their own with architectural details, but when you fill it with furniture, fabric, accessories and more, a house really comes alive.
This modern farmhouse was stunning when completed and I think you will enjoy coming along for the tour. It will be open this weekend if you’re in the area and want to get in on it. All proceeds from the tour and house sale will go to local children’s charities in the area, something that builders Carbine and Associates have had a passion about for many years. I applaud their efforts in building this charity showhouse for a good cause! It sure was fun to be a part of and something I haven’t done quite this way before, so it was a wonderful experience to be a part of and I’m so glad I got to be involved in one little bit of it, namely the laundry and mudroom spaces.
I’ll share designer information and paint colors during the post, so pay attention to that as you’re reading. Keep in mind that these pics aren’t the very best as I was using my iPhone and shooting around people.

It was such a pleasure for me to get to be part of this event. I met some fun ladies along the way and got to see some of my old blog friends too. These designers below are super talented ladies!
Pictured above: L to R, Julie Couch, Mitzy Maynard, Lucy Farmer, and me.
Hope you enjoyed the House for Hope tour with me! Sure was fun!
Thanks for all the details!
Really beautiful! I loved the laundry and game rooms the best, of course. Wish this was closer to home. A road trip might be in my future!
This house is so beautiful! It’s neat that there was so much blogger involvement and for a great cause.
I loved the black shutters outside and the doors inside! As a side note…I enjoyed seeing the video in the side margin of your Dad in his garden. He’s a delightful person! Would love to hear more of his stories.=)
Thank you, Anita,I will try to get more videos with him this year. I was just over there yesterday and asked him about his garden, so he’s getting ready to start again.
Rhoda, your space was gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for lending your time and talents to this worthy cause!! Proud to call you friend!!!!
Really beautiful house! You put a lot of effort into this post, thank you for all the details. Your areas show perfectly, wonderful job. I am loving the color Iron Ore!
Your area looked great,Rhoda. The remainder of the house is just too colorless and stark for me. I’m a “gotta have color” person. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your Dad and his garden soon!
I agree with Ms. Bonnie – while I know the space is designed as something that is neutral – it’s just a bit gray for me. I LOVE the mill work and the doors – but prefer a bit more color overall. My question: in the play room – what does one do with the ‘bunk’ area when the kids outgrow those beds? My frugal nature balks at such an age specific design element.
Thanks for the ‘photo’ tour, Rhoda. Hope your weather in ATL is as nice as ours here in the ‘Ham.
Hey, Becky, I appreciate those comments and agree with you all on some of this. When a showhouse is designed, the thought is not always towards resale and who will use the house, it’s more for showing pretty right now. I think it would be a great grandkids space though, but you’re right not every family could use it.
What an amazing house! Could you share details on the porch rugs? Where could we find them!
HI, Deborah, so sorry but I don’t have any further information on any of the accessories. If you look for the designer online, you could probably ask them. I just don’t have all of that info.
Loved the subway tile !
wonderful that you gave so much of yourself for this cause; a faithful follower as you stay true to yourself and think of others, that’s your sweet parent’s upbringing! I’ll be glad to see your father’s garden soon and all the things your mother creates from it thx for sharing
Hi Rhoda, this post was a lot of work and I so appreciate the effort. This home has been on other blogs and every blogger has shown a lot of different pictures. I feel like I’ve been there. All the bloggers are so complimentary to your laundry room. Bloggers are great people(but you know that). Sue
Love the front porch! Do you know where I could purchase the beautiful floor cloths on the porch floor?
HI, Roni, I don’t have any information on that part, but if you look up the designers who did the porch and email them, they could probably answer that for you.
I always look forward to the Friday tours — thanks!
I was intrigued by the Aurea countertops — how did they look up close?
They are very nice in person. Quartz seems to be the “it” countertops of choice now and they are really nice. I’ve heard they can’t be beat in durability and they mimic marble too.
All of these spaces turned out great. I love that each area of the home has a unique feel and you can see every designers unique home decor styles, yet everything still flows together nicely. Thanks so much for sharing!
What counter material is in the laundry room? Is that Aurea too?
HI, Meg, it’s a type of quartz and is probably Aurea as well.
Love your SW Comfort Gray in the laundry room. I have that color in my whole living area and it is beautiful and easy to live with and decorate around – a neutral for me. Thanks for sharing
