The 2021 Southern Living Idea House is inspiring on multiple levels—from the stunning location in Louisville, Kentucky overlooking the Ohio river, to the design-driven home that marries European countryside vibes with a timeless aesthetic. Dubbed the “forever home,” the concept was to design for all stages of life, with thoughtful spaces that meet the ever-evolving needs of families today. The 5,545-square-foot, Colonial Greek Revival Cottage-style home is located in The Breakers at Prospect community and is the collective effort of many. While it may have formerly been a trend to embrace open layout living spaces, following the pandemic families are seeking spaces in the home that feel separated, to allow for privacy. Rooms with clear intentions allow more options for areas in which to spend time, depending on your mood, and this home perfectly balances livable and lively ideas. Marvin products were chosen for this project to maximize the use of natural light, allow airflow from outdoors to indoors, and provide expansive views that overlook the Ohio River.

Finding the time and a place to create is always a challenge. The Eclipse Hobby/Sewing Center features a large 60.25 inch wide table top that allows you to spread out, cut or adjust fabric and patterns. The 9.5 inch wide side shelf folds down if less space is needed when not in use. The three fabric storage drawers and a large lower shelf are available, so you can organize your supplies and keep them close. The unique platform shelf lowers and allows you to adjust for a variety of sewing machine base heights. The heavy gauge steel construction and 5/8 inch thick top make it a durable table for years of use. The Eclipse Hobby/Sewing Center can also be used with a computer or for extra workspace in any room.

This home office has built-in cabinets and a run of two desks and a printing station. There are three doors that can open to reveal a printer and two computers. The doors are easily closable, making for a quick tidy-up when company arrives.
