Each room in the home was styled by a different designer, with some designers being in charge of two rooms. Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine is tasked with selecting designers each year and Enwright said she was incredibly thankful to work alongside such a talented team. Because the “bones” of the house have already been designed and the theme set, the designers must be able to come in and respond to what has already been done. “We definitely wanted the designers to have flexibility with their rooms because we wanted each room to have their own unique flair,” Enwright said. “I think they came up with terrific solutions that made each space their own.” Not only did they accomplish this, but the team was able to incorporate some features that are not seen in many homes. The showhouse does a fresh take on the kitchen by having more focus on the gathering aspect as opposed to just the food preparation aspect. Enwright refers to this as the “extroverted” space. They made the choice to separate the open kitchen area from the behind the scenes functions of the kitchen by a scullery, or a smaller room. “I have a lot of clients wanting this now, so we wanted to show that trend,” she said. “Sculleries and butlers pantries have been in Vogue for a while to keep a cleaner look to the kitchen.”

When it comes to art, Enwright believes it is the heart of a space because of the emotion it adds. “When working with a client, you are looking for what appeals to them and their emotions,” she explains. “In a showhouse, the designers work with art to express the emotion of what you want the space to be.” dk Gallery and its artists were honored to be able to work with Enwright and provide some pieces for the showhouse. Early on in her design process, Enwright would come to the gallery and select art that had either been set aside or pieces that she spontaneously found that fit the theme. Ginger Oglesby created canvas pieces for the project that are hung over the staircase; they wanted to create a sense of lightness with the darker colors tampering up into a lighter shade, almost as if one is ascending up the stairs. Other notable dk Gallery pieces were those of Kay Vinson’s, which provided a more introverted mood compared to the staircase pieces. dk Gallery artists including Jennifer Gibbs, Holly Irwin, and Ron Irwin were able to add their own special flavor to the house as well. “That is what makes the experiences of spaces exciting because the moods change with each space,” Enwright exclaimed. When she is designing, Enwright loves to create a series of moods or moments and art is good at evoking this; they are called moments because the viewer can have a different experience or emotion the moment they look at it. She believes each designer succeeded in creating a moment that was specific to the team’s vision.
