Veranda’s The House of Windsor

If you are in the Los Angeles area or plan to be there in the next couple weeks, don’t miss a tour through Veranda's design showcase, The House of Windsor. Spearheaded by the very talented Windsor Smith, the house was designed inside and out with the demands of the modern family in mind, while being luxuriously beautiful.

Ten LA-based interior designers were selected to be on the elite roster which included  Candace Barnes, Richard Shapiro, Peter Dunham, Tara Shaw, Richard Hallberg, and the fabulous Million Dollar Decorators, Kathryn Ireland and Martyn Lawrence-Bullard. Martyn’s black and gray game room with kelly green accents is below. Love his daring use of the wallpaper!

And of course, Windsor Smith took a lead role in designing the home. The fabulous kitchen is her design and has a delightful mix of old and new. I just love the open shelving and stunning white marble farm sink.

“We call it a concept house, but it’s really more than that. It’s an intersection of heartfelt ideas and sophisticated execution, with results that are at once soulful, stylish and enlightening.” says Dara Caponigro, Veranda’s Editor-in-Chief.

It’s for a great cause too - all proceeds from The House of Windsor will benefit the Children’s Action Network and P.S. ARTS. Don't delay! Tours run now through July, 17, 2011.

{hmm, I’m thinking of a way to sneak down there! Are you with me?}
