Before spring comes and strikes us with vibrant colors like Pantone’s 2010 color of the year, Turquoise, I would like to make one last nod to the moody hues that I have been swooning over for the last few wintry months. There is something mysterious about dark rooms that I just love – they are dramatic yet calming and softly romantic.
I find myself pulled toward the stormy shades of these rooms…

Since it’s almost spring (therefore I need a house project), I have decided to paint 75 percent of the interior of my house. I owe a debt of gratitude to designer Amy Morris for the color inspiration stolen right off the walls of the bedroom she did at AH&L’s 2009 Christmas House. The paint color, Amazing Gray by Sherwin-Williams, was my favorite in the entire Christmas House. I am going to try something different with the chair rails and crown mouldings, though—rather than painting them a different shade than the walls, I am going to paint them the same color, but with varying finishes, eggshell to gloss, to create definition. I can’t wait to see it all finished!

For the home we’re spotlighting on the market this week, this grand Mediterranean-style residence couldn’t hide from us, or anyone.

Adam Ballenger with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Midtown, says that yes, with 20,000 square feet, the home at 3206 Arden Road is one of the largest homes in Buckhead. He says the price has just been reduced from $3.9 million to $3.75 million.

The home, built in 2003, sits on 1.25 acres and was designed by architect Robert Denson. It holds eight bedrooms, six full and three half baths, plus a wood-paneled library and home theater.

Pillars, balconies, five fireplaces and cathedral ceilings fill some of the massive space in this home, which is vacant.
