Home for the Holidays Showhouse 2023

Every year, I am always happy to receive the invitation to visit the new show home sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine. Home for the holidays every year at this time. It is usually in the Buckhead area of ​​Atlanta, known for its beautiful leafy trees and large, elegant homes within the perimeter. This is in the Chastain Park neighborhood, which is a beautiful area of ​​the city. I love driving around and looking at all these stately homes, none of them typical. The house is open to the public from now until December 10, so don’t miss it if you’re in the Atlanta area. It’s a Christmas gift to behold!

The home was built by Castro Design Studio in its first Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles show home, in partnership with builder Pradera Group and Kit Castaldo Designs in a soft, modern home with impeccable details and elevated spaces throughout. Clean lines, geometric shapes, top-of-the-line accessories and a sleek exterior offer the ultimate in luxury living. At 12,500 square feet, this contemporary California home is perfect for showcasing the talents of the Southeast’s top interior designers. It’s a much-loved Christmas tradition for many in Atlanta, myself included.

The stucco-covered entry features a twist on the traditional front porch, leading guests inside past the oversized steel pivot door and revealing the stairwell and large family room.

The house is decorated for Christmas, so enjoy the tour! I won’t narrate too much, but I will share each space and the designer who designed them. Make note to look at the house itself and beyond the interior design, as that is subjective for all of us. The finishes in the home are stunning, so definitely don’t miss them as you explore interior design options. This is a magnificent house!

Enjoy the tour of the house! As always, I took a ton of photos capturing almost every vignette and designed space in the house. It takes a lot of photos to show it off, so it’s hard to be minimal when covering the house. However, if you have the chance, go in person, it’s always better in person!

One look at that black steel pivoting front door, truly impressive.

The grand staircase. Several people asked me what those bags on the stairs were. Those are bags for us (the media) who came to cover the house. They send us home with gift bags with a magazine that tells us all the details about the house and the designers, plus a couple of other things.
