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.

Completed in 2017, this project features midcentury modern interiors with copper, geometric, and moody accents. The design was driven by the client's attraction to a grey, copper, brass, and navy palette, which is featured in three different wallpapers throughout the home. As such, the townhouse incorporates the homeowner's love of angular lines, copper, and marble finishes. The builder-specified kitchen underwent a makeover to incorporate copper lighting fixtures, reclaimed wood island, and modern hardware. In the master bedroom, the wallpaper behind the bed achieves a moody and masculine atmosphere in this elegant "boutique-hotel-like" room. The children's room is a combination of midcentury modern furniture with repetitive robot motifs that the entire family loves. Like in children's space, our goal was to make the home both fun, modern, and timeless for the family to grow into. This project has been featured in Austin Home Magazine, Resource 2018 Issue.

This Chelsea Table Lamp just keeps on design-giving. The traditional silhouette—the cork-stoppered glass keepsake jar—has been re-envisioned as a fun-to-personalize room accent. Fill the base with seashells, wine corks, pebbles, feathers, sand, bottle caps or other summertime treasures to create your own nautical, nature-driven or whimisical look for any room. Come holiday season, refill it a new way. Nearly anything you can think of—even funny souvenirs, golf tees, ornate old keys, thread spools—is worth a try, so use your imagination and have some fun. Made with a glass base, cork “stopper” and a crisp linen shade. A fantastic accent, and you can make it a conversation piece.

This residential green roof and ground level garden was designed with the client’s specific lifestyle in mind. The client had long dreamed of being able to look out her bedroom window into a life-filled rooftop scene with flowering native plants and grasses frequented by local birds, butterflies and bees. A biodiverse, native plant filled ground level garden was also a high priority. K. Dakin Design made this dream a reality, selecting climate adapted plantings that would appeal to these wildlife visitors, benefitting the homeowner, the regional ecosystem and the pollinators themselves.

Inspired and driven by characteristics of Mother Nature, Novatto's absolute black granite vessels will add charm to your bath. Natural stone cannot be compared to everyday synthetic glass or ceramic sinks. Honed and hand polished to perfection, this square vessel will be your bath's centerpiece. Black granite is very consistent and little variation should occur from sink to sink. These sinks are designed for above-counter installation. They have a 1.75-inch drain opening for standard U.S. plumbing connections.

In opposition to trend-driven design and the focus on superficial cosmetic surfaces, the idea of an investment into the future, timeless design, is another of Allan’s core design principals. There is no place for fads, especially with floors. Allan Peters expects a floor to last the lifetime of the building. With his CRAFT Valencia floor, that can be sanded and refinished if necessary, he is hoping that someone can enjoy this floor for at least the next hundred years. And that is a very different way of thinking about home construction these days.

The Johnson-Thompson House, built c. 1750, has the distinct title as being the oldest structure in Winchester. Many alterations were made over the years to keep up with the times, but most recently it had the great fortune to get just the right family who appreciated and capitalized on its legacy. From the newly installed pine floors with cut, hand driven nails to the authentic rustic plaster walls, to the original timber frame, this 300 year old Georgian farmhouse is a masterpiece of old and new. Together with the homeowners and Cummings Architects, Windhill Builders embarked on a journey to salvage all of the best from this home and recreate what had been lost over time. To celebrate its history and the stories within, rooms and details were preserved where possible, woodwork and paint colors painstakingly matched and blended; the hall and parlor refurbished; the three run open string staircase lovingly restored; and details like an authentic front door with period hinges masterfully created. To accommodate its modern day family an addition was constructed to house a brand new, farmhouse style kitchen with an oversized island topped with reclaimed oak and a unique backsplash fashioned out of brick that was sourced from the home itself. Bathrooms were added and upgraded, including a spa-like retreat in the master bath, but include features like a claw foot tub, a niche with exposed brick and a magnificent barn door, as nods to the past. This renovation is one for the history books! Eric Roth
