I hope you enjoyed the Flower Magazine showhouse last week. I know from comments not everyone liked the house, but I always like to remind you that this is a SHOWHOUSE. It’s meant to showcase the creativity and artistry of the designers in a beautiful architecturally designed multi-million dollar house. So even if you don’t appreciate all that a designer does, please enjoy it for what it is. A chance for the designers to go a little crazy with their design ideas and try things out that they might not get to do for a client. These houses might not feel like a home to you all, but I know these designers work hard to show off their talents. Anyway, just a reminder that this is the essence of what a showhouse tour is all about!
If you missed Part 1, go back and catch up. This is the first annual Flower Magazine Showhouse and I hope it won’t be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it all.
For Part 2, we’ll go upstairs and also see the pool in the backyard. I really thought this carpet was pretty and fresh with the leopard on the stairs.
Fun and different!
Three story stairwell and adjoining landings: Jared Hughes, Jared Hughes Design, Atlanta, GA
Second Story bedroom and ensuite: Lisa Mende, Lisa Mende Design, Charlotte, NC
Lisa is a friend of mine. I loved her feminine bedroom that she called Aunt Betty’s Garden.
Second Story Bedroom & En Suite: Beth Webb & Tristan Harstan, Beth Webb Interiors
This was also a gorgeous bedroom, beautifully designed with so many details.
Loved the bathroom!
Second Story Bedroom & En Suite: Tammy Connor, Tammy Connor Interior Design, Charleston, SC
Second Story Study, Sitting Room, and En Suite: Mallory Mathison Glenn, Mallory Mathison, Inc., Atlanta, GA
I always love Mallory’s rooms, so many details and color.
Now out to the backyard space. It’s gorgeous!
Outdoor terrace & pool deck: Elaine Griffin, Elaine Griffin at Home, Brunswick, GA
Of course, I loved everything about the table, it was stunning!
And that’s a wrap on the Flower Magazine Showhouse this year here in Atlanta. I truly enjoyed the tour and taking you all along with me. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you got inspired for ideas for your own home and spaces.
Absolutely gorgeous home! I love all the bright colors, florals, and beautiful wallpapers!! And how unique is that carpet on the stairwell?!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing, Rhoda! Lots of eye candy! My favorites are your friend’s decor and Mallory Mathison’s rooms. I always love blues, pinks, and greens! Gorgeous!
I loved all the art work, wallpaper, master bedrooms, and the backyard. Very lush furnishings!
Thanks for all your sharing all your photos.
I will admit your explanation makes sense about showcasing each designer’s work. But I do like the upstairs and outdoor MUCH more! Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful place. Absolute breathtaking!
I loved all the beautiful flowers throughout the house! Also the little study hide a way with the blue & white check! It was too cold Saturday to go wander around outside, but looked beautiful too.
HI!
I understood the concept behind the designers work. Just didn’t find it all that
enjoyable. The backyard was nicely designed and inviting though.
I might pass on another “show house” tour,
sorry😒
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍂
Hello Rhoda…..have followed your blog for years and wondering what the flooring throughout the house is? Is it ceramic or engineered hardwood? It is different than anything I have seen and curious who makes it. Thank you so much for the tour and Happy Thanksgiving.
HI Keila, I am not sure exactly what the floor was but I would say it’s engineered wood of some kind. It was very light.
What a show stopping house. Magnificent!!
Loved the walls in Aunt Betty’s bedroom! They were so exuberant and fun. Also loved the leopards on the stairs. Not your typical stairway, but very creative.
Your explanation about the goals of a shophouse really helped me appreciate the rooms more. When you think about it as an equivalent to a designer fashion show, things make more sense.
Yes, that’s what I was trying to convey. Some just look at it as being way over the top and not a place they would want to live. But it’s a creative expression of each and every designer, so that’s the way we should look at them.
Thank you for the photos! The home is stunning. I especially love the bathrooms and the outdoors. Some of the rooms are over the top, but fun to see.
After years of seeing all white and minimalistic decor, this house takes off in a completely new direction. It’s whimsical and over-the-top and amazing! I also see it as a response to years of being in ‘lock down’ due to the pandemic. It’s almost an expression of life and vibrancy that we haven’t been able to fully embrace. I absolutely LOVE the “Periodic Table of Elements” wallpaper shown in the bathroom in Part 1. If I can find it, I’ll use it somewhere in my house.
I don’t think it was roll wallcovering, it appeared to be separate sheets (like posters) applied to the walls and varnished.
Hi Rhonda,
What a treat to enjoy this beautiful home (both parts) through your photos; each space had so much eye candy and wonderful details to drool over and duplicate 😁.
Many, many thanks for taking us along on this journey.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
p.s. pardon the typo of your name, Rhoda! my tablet has a mind of its own, I’m afraid.
Thank you for sharing this and all the other showhouses around Atlanta. I really enjoy seeing them since I don’t travel from Arkansas to see them like I used to. You do a great job featuring them! Please keep doing it!
I absolutely love this home. Thank you for sharing…Hooray for Maximilism!!!!!
There is something for everyone..so tired of seeing milk toast minimilist decor..BORING!!!
So many rooms were outstanding. The pink master bedroom and the marble in the master bath were my favorite. The entry hall and dining room as well as the library…there is so much there.
The kitchen was my least favorite..at least what I saw of it. It looked undone and didn’t relate to the rest of the house. And last but not least the Regency style exterior…I hope we see more of these. I can’t wait to receive my special edition magazine copy of the house.
