The Knoxville Symphony League Show House is bigger than ever this year, featuring more than 10,000 square feet of design ideas by two dozen of the area’s leading designers. The Show House will be open April 26-May 12, Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m.
Nestled in the woods along scenic Rudder Lane in the Rocky Hill area of West Knoxville, this beautiful home custom-built by Cornerstone Homes has 26 rooms and 7 ½ baths on three levels, including a media room, two kitchens, a wine cellar and two entertainment rooms. Outdoor living features include a lovely pool area.
“This Show House is particularly special,” said Show House chair Edie Volk. “Several of the designers have been working directly with the homeowner, Mrs. Miller, in formulating their designs for several of the rooms, including the girls’ bedrooms, the kitchen and keeping room, incorporating some of the family’s own special accessories. It is easy to picture filling this home with family, friends and laughter.”
The fresh new design ideas will be sure to inspire all visitors. And the Symphony Gift Shop has even more decorating ideas plus a fabulous assortment of unusual gift items.
Guests can also enjoy lunch at the Symphony Cafe, catered by Rex Bradford Jones. The café will be open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Special group tours, private parties and corporate parties can be booked by contacting Mary Lou Kanipe at 865-922-7021.
The Show House is easy to find. From I-40, take the West Hills exit onto Montvue Road. Turn left on Kingston Pike, then take the first right onto Morrell Road. At the intersection with Northshore Drive, turn left (east) onto Northshore Drive and travel to Rocky Hill Baptist Church at 7409 S. Northshore Drive, on the left just past Rocky Hill Shopping Center. A free shuttle to and from the Show House is available from the church parking lot. There is no on-site parking at the Show House.
“It has been, without a doubt, a thrill to have been a part of the Show House this year, from the initial walk-through for room selection by the designers to the smiles of satisfaction for a job well done,” said Volk. “And well done it is – these designers have spared nothing in preparing their rooms for our guests.”
