design indulgence: ASO Show House 2014

Did you go? To the Showhouse?

......you better! I promise you will not be disappointed. I had a lot of questions and wish I had answers for you.

Unfortunately the only info I have on that sweet kitchen is this:

Cabinets: Downsview Custom Cabinetry

Countertops: Marmi Natural Stone

Plumbing: Rohl

Lighting: Circa

Tile Backsplash: Crossville Tile and Stone

In the spirit of loving all things design.....I do have a few more pictures for you today:)

This bedroom was designed by Tish Mills. The headboard, end tables, settee, chair and small occasional table are from Ballard Designs.

Here we have Jimmy Stanton's room. Love the color which is BM Briarwood.

The talented Robert Brown.....All fabric is from Jim Thompson. I can't give you the wall color because it was custom :(

Here is the other side of the room....You need to see this it in person because the details are stunning.

I fell in love with these gold leaf botanicals from Boxwoods Garden and Gifts.....

Designer Timothy Corrigan showcased his new line of fabric from Schumacher It was hard to photograph this room but it was so beautiful....the ceiling was wallpapered in gold [Donghia] and Lord it was stunning.

This bedroom was designed by Traci Rhoads. This incredible lighting is by Allan Knight.

The Loggia area was designed by Habachy Designs. I need some new words to describe beautiful.....I am feeling repetitive!

I might say this every year but dang all of the designers brought their A-game. Of course the house is pretty special on it's own and there is so much more to see......I will leave you with your appetite sufficiently dampened.

Hope you are excited about Wednesday and week 5 of the ORC.

OK.....gotta sign off here and go for a run.

It's Show House time in Atlanta and yesterday I was lucky enough to preview the home.

Maybe I say this every year but hot damn it was almost more eye candy than I could bear. Of course the fact that it was an epic day on the weather front could have helped:)

This year the historic Palazzo Rosa [one of the most recognized historic family homes in Atlanta] was chosen to showcase the talented designers.

The Italian style home was designed by architects Neel Reid and Philip Schutze in the 1920's and has been called the "Pink Palace" because of the previous stucco color and the pink dogwoods lining the driveway.

There are 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms with 16,000 sq feet of complete fabulousness.

This is a before shot of the house from the press package.

I took this off Instagram [#asoshowhouse]

I am going to start with the Grand Salon designed by Barbara Westbrook.

The hand painted linen walls are original to the home and they were jaw dropping...

I mean these walls are almost 100 years old!

Another favorite room was Lance and David's [Parker-Kennedy] Master Terrace.

Wowza.

For real. They built this in the shop and then took it apart and had to re-install it.

It. Was. Fabulous.

They were sponsored by Scalmandre Fabrics.

Almost everything in the space was vintage.

I loved the mirrors....they were going to actually put in openings but ran out of time. Sometimes the second choice becomes the best choice right?

These guys are the whole package....fun, friendly and extremely talented. You can find them at Scott's sometimes and they are also competing in the ORC with a MBR makeover.

The kitchen and baths were renovated by Design Galleria.
