[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]15 interior design pros have come together to create a spectacular home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Located on the fabled Goodwood Estate in Baton Rouge, Ivy House is nestled within a 16 1/2- acre community dotted with live oaks, hollies, camellias, and azaleas.

FLOWER magazine founder and editor-in-chief Margot Shaw enlisted design luminaries Barry Dixon as the Honorary Chair and Mary McDonald as the Design Chair. “The FLOWER magazine designer showhouse offers a beautiful in-person experience that brings together all the elements that our readers are passionate about: decorating, entertaining, gardening, and travel,” says Shaw. This year’s home is “a celebration of design in the deep South and all of its lush landscapes, unique architecture, vibrant colors, and rich flavors.”
A walled courtyard leads guests into the house, where they are greeted by a dramatic entry with a floating stairwell and a light-filled living room beyond. Other main-floor highlights include a gourmet kitchen and adjoining butler’s pantry, primary suite and dressing room outfitted in custom cabinetry, and nursery space designed to mature along with its occupant. Upstairs, a study and spacious family/media room offer opportunities to work or play, while two bedroom suites provide luxurious sanctums to retreat. The backyard beckons visitors outdoors and showcases the best in alfresco living, with a covered porch ideal for year-round entertaining, a pool bedecked in marble surrounded by a chic hardscape and turf checkerboard design pool deck, and a brick cabana for lounging and escaping the afternoon sun.
Enjoy this peek inside the showhouse and plan to visit between November 3rd and 26th.
