Ok, this is going to be a fun comparison! I am going to borrow some photos from Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles… and we can look at what it looked like then, and how it looks now :)

Now, on to the tour…

This is the first spread of the feature in the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles February 2009 edition.

Foyer-use
Foyer 2

This are my shots of the foyer, with a view back to the Grand Salon…

Foyer

This shot is looking form the Grand salon to the front door .. I love how the circle effect of the stairs is continued over the door…

This is the AH&L shot of the Library. It is located to the right in the last foyer picture…

AH&L does a great job at supplying the components. Stan Topal is a fabulous designer!! I love the play of dark and light in this room, as well as the dramatic fireplace by Francois & Co. They have such amazing fireplaces. I love seeing them in homes around Atlanta.

Library

Here is my shot of the library. It allows you to focus on the ceiling and the parquet floors, both of which are beautiful!

This is a shot of the Dining Room, which is across from the Library. This is from the magazine. Designer, Carol Weaks of C. Weaks Interiors

And here is the Dining room now. Again, I love seeing the floors.

On to the Grand Salon..

Designer Suzanne Kasler (who is amazing! Her book was on my Christmas List)

Living Room

Here is the Grand Salon now. Obviously from a different angle.

This is the keeping room. I do not have a shot of this room. One of the designers, Mary Allison Buzzell, is a friend of mine. She is such a cute new mom, and she is the author of The Buzz Interiors (Great blog! Check it out!)
Here is a link to Gilstrap Edwards Interior Design

Here is the Breakfast area. it is so beautifully decorated, my photo can’t even compare :)

Kitchen

Here is my photo of the kitchen. It was done by Design Galleria, and is so amazing. I cannot find a picture of it from the showhouse, but I wish I could.

And finally, on to the master.

It’s so luxurious!

Design by Douglas Weiss Interiors

And one last thing. I want to show a photo of one of the Guest Suites.

Screen shot 2010-01-07 at 5.35.29 PM

I absolutely adore this room! If I had a bedroom to design, I would want it just like this. It was done by Beth Webb of Beth Webb Interiors, and Nancy Pendergast (Now nancy Pendergast Duffey), who was with Summerour Interiors. I am not sure if she is still there, as she has opened HER OWN STORE!! It’s called Scout for the Home. It’s at the corner of East Andrews and Roswell Road. I haven’t been in the store, YET, but I will be there soon. I drove by the front of it the other day and it is so beautiful. Please go check it out, I know I will :)

Read Mary Allison’s post about the opening of Scout….

I hope you all enjoyed the tour of this amazing home!

Enjoy the snow here in Atlanta :)

    I can't get over the curves in and around the stairway. I enjoy seeing the rooms maxed out and empty. I prefer either to the staged look. Thanks for the links too.

    What fun! I love seeing the showhouse pictures and then the empty rooms. It really helps me visualize what is possible in a room. Thanks for sharing!

    As usual, great post. I LOVED that guest bedroom and actually posted on it earlier this week. Would love to know the paint color used in the front entryway… it is just a gorgeous space.

    Also, gave you a little shout out on my blog today!

    I love this house! I didn't even notice the chevron floors since they were all covered with rugs.

    I did a post on this house when it was the showhouse (the formatting is a bit weird for some reason), and it might have some of the pictures you are missing:
