Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Decorators' Show House and Gardens 2013
Tuffeau
The ASO Decorators' Show House and Gardens opens April 20 and will be open until May 12.
Set on a Buckhead estate, the 2013 Atlanta Symphony Decorators’ Show House & Gardens is a grand chateau inspired by the great architecture of France. The house is considered to be one of William T. Baker’s finest works and is a testament to the fine craftsmanship and tasteful detailing characteristic of Baker’s architecture. The house is entirely clad in French limestone and, with its slate roof and zinc dormers, is a faithful interpretation of the great houses found outside Paris. The exciting interiors incorporate architectural antiques such as leaded windows, French paneling, and marble mantles. The wood parquet floors and casement windows with their decorative cremone bolts complete the effect.
Yesterday, I got to preview the house and visit with a few of the designers. Loved chatting with Melanie Turner, Bryan Alan Kirkland, Cristi Rajevac, Tish Mills, Bill Peace, Janie Hirsch, and Traci Rhoads. I snapped a couple of quick pictures with my phone, here's a sneak peek:
