Gorgeous English Country House – Castle Homes’ Parade House

October 17, 2017 By Nancy McNulty Leave a Comment

Using historical inspiration with a fresh modern day approach, Southern Living custom builder Castle Homes has created a Contemporary English Country house for the Nashville Parade of Homes open daily for tour through October 22.

Southern Living Idea House

Castle Homes, Southern Living Custom Builder of the Year, was selected to build the Idea House at Fontanel in 2013.

You’ll remember Castle Home’s work from the 2013 Southern Living Idea House at Fontanel with interiors by Phoebe Howard and Forest Home Media serving as a member of the PR team headed up by PR pro Jennifer Zawadzinski. 

Castle Homes was selected for the national build after earning Southern Living magazine’s 2012 Custom Builder of the Year.

Inspired By 20th Century British Architect

Castle Homes is participating in the premier Nashville home tour unveiling a home inspired by noted 1900s British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, designed in collaboration with local architect C. Kevin Coffey, with interior design by Castle’s in-house designers and interior styling by Rozanne Jackson Interiors with The Iron Gate furnishings and decor.

“Castle Homes creates houses of architectural integrity by taking historic inspiration with a fresh perspective which you see when you step into the open floor plan home with incredible custom finishes,” Castle Homes President Alan Looney said. “We take very seriously our goal of contributing to the architecture of Middle Tennessee.”

Clever Home Ideas

Building Inspiration

Castle took the craftsmanship of the home to the next level with a delicate tracery ceiling in the study, custom powder bath vanity and a scalloped hood for a Wolf range which showcases new gold and silver knobs – a departure from the traditional Wolf red.

Don’t Miss Elements

The home has several don’t miss elements including Bunkara day beds in a casual den, a golf simulator where you can play courses around the world and Rasmussen FireBalls, an alternative to traditional gas fireplace logs. The stunning home is complete with a beautiful array of succulents and floral décor created by Nashville designer Tim Riffle, previously featured in Nancy McNulty’s column on The Southern C.

From Celebrating Everything To Succulent Décor – Blog Round Up

September 16, 2017 By Nancy McNulty Leave a Comment

As the cobbler’s children have no shoes, Forest Home Media creates hundreds of blogs for clients and the Southeastern consortium of creatives, The Southern C, and now it’s past time for a Forest Home Media blog wrap up!

Celebrate Everything With Darcy Miller

After spending time with founding editor of Martha Stewart Living Weddings, author and new fun friend Darcy Miller at the Southern C Summit and her Nashville book tour, I treated myself to her incredible book, “Celebrate Everything! Fun Ideas To Bring Your Parties To Life.”

Darcy-Miller

My first thought was to find out what Martha thinks about the book. In her kind forward she shares, “I suggest you use this book for inspiration first, then as instruction….Darcy’s sources are generously shared.” When you are being inspired to take your parties to the next level, how absolutely awesome to have this how-to. Martha was spot on, #obviously.

Darcy-Miller-Celebrate-Everything!-Fun-Ideas-To-Bring-Your-Parties-To-Life

 

When I’m bored, I plan parties in my head and Darcy has me spinning with ideas to try.   This book could be a little overwhelming if you don’t approach it with the spirit conveyed early by the author. Even if you don’t D-I-Y it, Do-It-Together (D-I-T)! So let’s dig in to just a few of my favorite things. Click here to read more on The Southern C!

Meet RealSimple.com Lifestyle Editor Sarah Yang

As a young girl growing up in sunny Pasadena, California, RealSimple.com Lifestyle Editor Sarah Yang’s middle school aspirations included being a NYC journalist. (Love that focus and determination!) Regular meetings with Sarah is just one of the perks of being a home lifestyle publicist for me. She’s part of an impressive and inspiring field of young, professional women having a huge impact on shelter magazines especially their digital and social media operations. Find out more on what inspires her in this fun Q&A for The Southern C.

 

Video Marketing

Recently, I had the pleasure of helping new Trading Places designer John Gidding with his first Facebook Live! On this blog for The Southern C, I share “Video Marketing For Your Business: 3 Platforms and How to Use Them.”

Domino Book Review

After working with Domino magazine on a Facebook Live for our March 2017 House for Hope Designer Show House, I also did a book review of“Domino: Your Guide to a Stylish Home” by Domino Editorial Director Jessica Romm Perez and Shanni Silver, Domino’s director of digital content, which was SO helpful during a spring bathroom renovation. Click here for more on the 272-page, beautiful, hardcover book that is so much more than a stylish addition to your coffee table.
