Feature Friday: Southeastern Designer Showhouse 2016

Last week, I had the pleasure of touring Atlanta’s Southeastern Designer Showhouse sponsored by Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles magazine.  Showcasing premier builders and designers, the home is magnificent and splendorous.  Although most of us can’t imagine living in a home like this, taking away some ideas and inspiration is always fun to do.  So, come with me on a tour. I’ll split this into 2 parts because I took so many pics (as usual).

You can find more details on the house on their website, along with ticket prices and tour dates.  If you live in the Atlanta area, I’d definitely encourage you to take the tour.  Check out the esteemed list of designers.  They’ve amassed a fantastic team of creative design talent from around the South to showcase this stunning home to the fullest.  The beneficiary of ticket sales for the showhouse is Safe Kids Georgia, part of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

It was a very rainy day that Friday and they were still adding all the landscape in the rain and mud.  So the front of the house landscaping wasn’t completely finished yet, but I’m sure it is by now. This is a rendering from the website of this magnificent 22,200 sf home in Buckhead. It sits on 3.5 acres, which is huge for an in town lot.

The showhouse is open from April 23 through May 15, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to tour and I hope you do!

The front door was just stunning.

I love to see how they treat stairs in these showhouses and love that they use runners so often.  This natural runner is beautiful.

Dual staircases on either side of the huge foyer.  You can’t even imagine a house of this magnitude and how much it take to design and outfit a space like this.

Beautiful space in creams and blues. Very serene and calming.

The walls were white lacquer and the ceiling was blue lacquer.  You can’t miss this stunning chandelier.

The most magnificent view came from the huge two story greatroom, designed by Barbara Westbrook, Westbrook Interior. She was there putting the finishing touches on her room and it was fun to talk to her. She is very down to earth and approachable.

It takes a lot of furniture and arranging know how to add furniture to a soaring space like this and have it look so great.  Lots of black and white.  I love the black windows trimmed out with that amazing view of the backyard.

She did this outdoor covered terrace too and I loved all the color.

I’m sure I’m going to miss crediting someone, but I’ll try to do my best with all the spaces.

That’s about half the house, so I’ll be back next week to show the rest of it.  It was very inspiring and fun to see the house in person and to check out all the furnishings and designer touches.

If you get a chance, definitely check it out in person here in Atlanta’s Buckhead! Again, check out Southeastern Designer Showhouse for all the details!

    So beautifully done! Can’t wait to see the remainder of your pictures! And just in case you happen to know: in the 5th picture you posted from the top, there is a small apothecary lamp with a brass shade sitting next to the settee beside the stairs…..I have been searching for over a year for that very lamp and cannot find a source for it…no sources listed yet for this house….I just had to put the question out there…..one never knows….Thanks, Rhoda!!

      HI, Vickie, sorry I do not know any of that information. I can probably put you in touch with a designer, but I’ll have to go back and look at names.

    Rhoda, I always enjoy Designer Homes, or even other smaller, re-invented homes like yours, in particular. A few questions:
    1. The staircase runner reminds me of yours. The difference between it and yours as far as material? I was told by a salesperson in an upscale furniture store that sisal is not a good upkeep choice.
    2. Loved the idea of the benches instead of bar stools in the kitchen. Am I correct that the benches were the height of bar stools and not that the bar itself was not bar, but table height?
    3. The dining room tables and seating were so unique and attractive. What minimum size dining room do you feel would be necessary to accomplish the same on a smaller scale? I presume it wouldn’t work in a room of 18′ x 20′ dimension?
    4. Rugs in the loggias/terraces: At least one of them (the first pictured) seemed to be quite a thin carpet. Am I correct? If so, Rhoda, do you have any idea from what that rug was made?

    I always love your blog from A to Z, including the recent one of your Daddy’s garden.

      HI. Patricia, I’ll have to think on these questions, as I’m not sure I know the answers since I went through the house and tried to take it all in in a couple of hours. I know my runner is and outdoor runner so really holds up to traffic.

    I don’t normally comment here Rhoda but this was so beautiful it was hard to pass up. Evey single room had such a serene, calm look, there is absolutely nothing I didn’t like. Thank you for sharing with us.

    I really love the look of the teal (is that teal or gray?) curtain on the curtain rods that goes a little bit rounded as you go nearing each edge of the window. The shutters really blended well at the border of your big windows. I did not even notice it at first until I saw the rest of the pictures. This is relaxing and refreshing abode to die for! Who says its hard decorating with curtains rod?

    Was just there this Saturday – your wonderful pictures do it justice!
    As a regular nationwide show house junkie, this is one of the best I have ever seen – from the architecture to the interiors and furnishings! Wish I had millions to buy it all!

      Yes, David it is magnificent! Way over the top for most of us, but so fun to see in person. Glad you got to tour!

    I’ve been itching to get up to Atlanta and see this house. I’ve been following it on Instagram and think it has some great ideas. Can’t wait for the rest of your tour, because I don’t think I’ll be able to get up there until it’s closed up tight.
    (maybe they’ll sell it to me then!)

      Hey, Leslie Anne, I’m sure they would love to sell it to you! I heard it’s a spec home and wow, what a spec home!
