JLG Showhouse Detour at High Point

I made a last minute excursion to High Point and on my way to market from the airport, I stopped by the Junior League of Greensboro Showhouse. A talented set of designers breathed new life into the historic Adamsleigh Estate, including a few of my personal design heros like Miles Redd, Eric Cohler, and Suzanne Kasler. It was a pleasure to walk through and study their handiwork and see the beautiful old manse. As with most showhomes, there were rooms I loved and others that I didn't care for...these were my favorite spaces:

This is the Suzanne Kasler-designed Den, it was a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles...

And I'm 99% sure this is Eric Cohler's Sun Porch...

 This room also had a ceiling adorned with stripes

There were parts of Miles Redd's Living Room that I liked, but to be totally honest, I was really distracted and confused by the use of the not-so-luxe Dwell Studio bird fabric, especially in the same room as De Gournay wallcovering?!? The rug was a stunner though!



Another favorite was by Kara Cox and the room is one of the Daughters' Bedrooms. It's light and fresh and had a lovely, feminine color palette.

I'll take the pink sheets (I think they're Matouk) and the Michael Clement hand-painted lamps!

Besides the gorgeous Tommy Mitchell gilded flowers, this pic shows the AMAZING sculpted plaster walls...

Such a chic little vanity, isn't it?

Perhaps my number one pick of the house was this bedroom, designed by Megan Winters for Thomas & Gray. The room was defined by a bold black, white, and gold mix. I'm always drawn to black and white stripes, so the first elements I fell for were the draperies and the bed canopy...


Oh, and the striped ceiling was the jam...


This was the men's dressing area and it was designed by Traci Zeller and Lisa Mende...I LOVE the socks wallpaper, the brass sunburst light fixture, and the studded shelving.


 This shot shows part of another Daughter's Room (I think), which was put together by Jack Fhillips. Lots of animal influence in here!


Here is the lady's bedroom and dressing room, which was designed by Robert Brown. Clarence House's legendary "The Vase" fabric and wallpaper was the star in here...




And finally, they called this the Maid's Room and it was pretty swanky with Quadrille fabric, Oomph tables, and lacquered walls.

And that's it...at least, those are my favorite spaces. Tell me what you think of the showhouse! I'll post more photos on Pinterest too in case you want to peek in other rooms. So far, do you have any top rooms picked out?
