This past weekend some girlfriends and I spent the weekend
exploring and enjoying the slower pace of the Serenbe community, just south of
Atlanta. If you are ever looking for an easy weekend getaway, I highly
recommend it! While we were there, we visited the 2015 Atlanta Homes &
Lifestyles Designer Showhouse.
This house is located on Grange Lake in the Serenbe
community. Serenbe is a community born to protect the beautiful rural land just
outside of Atlanta known as Chattahoochee Hill Country. The first house at
Serenbe was built in 2004 and today the community is home to over 400
residents. Serenbe has won numerous awards including the Urban Land Institute
Inaugural Sustainability Award, the Atlanta Regional Commission “Development of
Excellence“ and EarthCraft named Serenbe the “Development of the Year.” Their
four neighborhoods have areas focused on elements of well being-arts, agriculture,
health and education. Serene is home to a 25 acre organic farm with a thriving
CSA program. They also offer cultural events through their Playhouse,
festivals, music events and an Artist in Residence program.
The Designer
Showhouse is a French Creole style lakefront home make up of 3,700 square feet
designed by architect James P. Curran and built by Monte Hewett Homes. The
house features over 10 designers over the 2 floors of living space and the
outdoor space. My favorite room was the powder room. With small wood tile on
the wall, a vibrant red vanity with marble top and vessel sink and a wall
mounted faucet. Designed by Lyndsy Woods, this small space was stunning!
The house is now
closed for tours, but I am sure you can find exceptional pictures of it online.

And if you need a weekend getaway, stay at the Farmhouse Inn, enjoy the rocking
chairs on the front porch, the afternoon tea and a delicious dinner at The
Farmhouse.
