My studio partner, Traci Zeller is a participating as a designer of the house built by Arcadia Homes. I went to see the house last week, and I fell in love with the house and obviously I wasn’t the only one. The Arcadia home, designed by Traci Zeller won for “Best Overall Home”. Congrats to Traci and Arcadia for a job well done! If you live in the Charlotte area, I urge you to go visit HomeArama to see the latest and greatest in home design.
Here are some sneak peeks of the house Traci designed:

Traci and Arcadia used so many interesting design ideas and materials in this house. I have shared some sneak peeks of the house on my instagram feed. Make sure you check out the doggy shower on my feed. It is so dang adorable with Thibaut “Best of Show” wallpaper. Traci has also shared several pictures of the house on her instagram feed. You may also check out #CLThomearama to see more pictures of this year’s participating home builders and their designer’s work.
HomeArama is sponsoring a contest too. If you visit and take a “selfie” or “usie” in one of the homes and #CLTHomearama on your picture you can be entered in a contest to win an ipad!
Designing a HomeArama home is no small fete for any designer. There were great partners in the house Traci designed, which helped make her design work come together. Ethan Allen, Dash and Albert, The FirePlace Store, LampsPlus, Stanton Carpet, Pine Cone Hill, Thibaut, and more!

Traci commissioned Virginia artist and friend, Lesli DeVito, known for her animal portraits, to paint a series of original paintings of horses, which is in keeping with the equestrian community’s theme. Lesli puts her spin on the subject with fabulous color and composition. If you are interested in any of these paintings, you better move fast! I think they will sell fast!
If you are not in Charlotte but interested in the paintings visit Leslie’s site to see the collection and pricing here.

Lancelot, which hangs in the family room, is one of my favorites. This painting has interesting soft colors and an alluring mystique about it.
All of the paintings are for sale. As a matter of fact…..
An exciting fact you may not know is that the furnishings are for sale! Yes, that is right! If you visit HomeArama, make sure you check out Traci’s house for some amazing values on beautiful furnishings. The designer sale slated for August 3, 2015, will be fabulous, but if you visit the house and see something you want, buy it early and pick it up on the 3rd so you don’t miss out on these incredible deals.
