November 15, 2020 By Nancy McNulty Leave a Comment

In a year with so many cancelled plans, the Birmingham Home & Garden Inspiration Home influencer event was a welcomed and inspiring adventure. This show house will be open through November 29. Below you’ll only find vignette photos with the full home featured in the magazine’s upcoming issue.

Inspiration Home

Hosted by long-time blogger friend, Beth Bryan, Unskinny Boppy, the stunning Southern Cottage was built by Willow Homes in the Homewood area of Birmingham as an infill build. With Nashville-area blogger/tastemaker Beneath My Heart, we grabbed our masks, socially distanced and found some clever hand-sanitizer courtesy of CBM Design, mother-daughter upstairs bedroom designers.

Located on an elevated building lot which provides a great view, matching stone gables sandwich James Hardie lap siding painted a Sherwin-Williams Thunder Gray and a roof of hand-split, cedar shake shingles.

The home, already under contract prior to opening, is 3,400 square feet, five bedrooms with the owner’s retreat on the main level. It really lives large with a wall-sized sliding door weaving the charming courtyard with the gourmet kitchen.

Influencer Event History

In 2013, Forest Home Media partnered with Southern Living’s PR team for a media and influencer event at the Southern Living Idea House in Nashville, built by FHM client Castle Homes. The afternoon, with rock star decorator Phoebe Howard and Southern Living favs, former editor Lindsay Bierman and Southern Living garden expert Carmen Johnston, led to establishing a powerful marketing formula for clients. Combining smart bloggers and influencers with talented media writers has proven to be very impactful for home projects throughout the Southeast.

Lindsay Bierman and the PR Team for 2013 Southern Living Idea House Project hosted a blogger, influencer and media event prior to the house opening. Pictured with Bierman are former SL PR Director Jennifer Zawandanski, Zan Martin, president of Martin & Co. representing Fontanel & Nancy McNulty, Forest Home Media, representing the builder, Castle Homes.

Forest Home Media has since helped launch or promote a ton of premier home events including the Nashville Symphony Show House and last year’s Nashville Home Show, returning again this September, as well as the HGTV Urban Oasis House 2017 with designer Brian Patrick Flynn.
