Editor’s note: The 2009 Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators’ Show House & Gardens opens April 18 at the St. Regis Atlanta Hotel & Residences. It’s hard to believe the opening date is already upon us. For eight weeks prior to the show house reveal, we called on kitchen design extraordinaire and Design Galleria principal Matthew Quinn to chronicle the design process of his team as they created a contemporary kitchen from a completely blank canvas – an unfinished space in the new St. Regis Residences. The results are remarkable. Today, in his eighth and final installment, Quinn showcases a few snapshots of the finished kitchen; but, we assure you—the real thing is even more marvelous. Visit the show house through May 10 to see the brilliant, modern space for yourself. We’ll look forward to seeing you there!
The day has finally come for the “big reveal” of our contemporary show house kitchen.
It took four months of hard work to build this space from a shell and we feel like we achieved not only something unique, but something uniquely St. Regis. We are also very excited to show you the traditional and transitional kitchen and bathrooms we put our hearts and minds into creating. Whether your design perspective comes more from a chintz or stainless steel perspective, there is a room in these three residences that you will love. Come with an open mind and a keen eye to explore each and every detail of these residences and this stunning hotel.
Mary Kathryn, Laurie, Patti, Robin, myself and our team look forward to meeting you and giving you the nickel tour or quarter tour, whichever you choose.

Editor’s note: It’s hard to believe that the Decorators’ Show House & Gardens opens in little more than a week. In the weeks leading up to the opening, we asked one of the participating designers, Matthew Quinn, to keep a journal of the process, every step of the way. Today is his seventh installment about how one of his spaces is taking shape. Look for his final installment next week as we anticipate the grand Show House opening on April 17.
I love jigsaw puzzles. This past week’s show house schedule was probably the most elaborate and complicated puzzle I have ever tackled. Designers are moving in incredible rooms of art and antiques amongst a sea of painters, tile installers, electricians and plumbers working on last minute details. Patience, deep breaths and the amazing organizational skills of our Director of Business Development, Dusty Miller, has kept me out of the emergency room this week. Our work is down to perfecting the tiniest of details, which sometimes takes longer than the entire rest of the process. I thought I would share a puzzle with you. Below are several small detail shots in the modern show house kitchen. See if you can assemble these to visualize the entire space, and if not, I will solve it for you next week.
The stainless steel-framed bronze glass hood and framed Gnosis mosaic backsplash
The paneled walls resembling the terrace French doors
Two side-by-side Wolf ovens
The stainless steel countertop and custom granite sink with Kohler Karbon faucet
Check back next week for our final blog in this series, when we unveil the finished kitchen. We’re excited for the grand opening! Purchase tickets to see the Show House in person at
