TRADITIONAL HOME BUILT FOR WOMEN SHOWHOME – Page 87
In an Atlanta showhouse built this past fall for Traditional Home, Designer Barbara Westbrook proves having children doesn’t mean giving up elegance. Westbrook says, “A home should be a retreat from our very, very busy lives, a place where a family can relax together, hang out and play.” She achieves that serenity – as well as an understated elegance full of natural fabrics and a soothing palette. Traditional Home’s other two showhomes will be featured in the next two issues.
