MessAge FroM the PresiDent oF BellArMine uniVersity

On behalf of the Bellarmine University community, welcome to the 38th annual Womens Council Designers Show House! This years Show House, Stonecote Estate, is a 1920s-era Scottish-Tudor home on five acres in the Lexington Road Preservation Area. Louisville-area designers employed their considerable talents to make this homes gracious spaces even more welcoming. I know you will be impressed with their imagination and attention to detail. At Bellarmine University, we are also attuned to detail. The number of students in residence on our campus is at an all-time high, and we are committed to providing them wonderful spaces for living and learning. This fall, we opened the fourth and final residence hall in our Siena complex. These residence halls are equipped with all the comforts of home and beautifully designed to evoke the architecture of Tuscany, the home of our namesake, St. Roberto Bellarmino. The halls surround Larboreto, a lushly landscaped area with water features and spaces for outdoor teaching and studying. Resident and commuter students alike enjoy the new University Dining Hall, which opened last fall with expanded dining options, more seating and a panoramic view of campus through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Above the Dining Hall, students fill state-of-the-art classrooms in our newest school, the School of Communication. The details are all part of a bigger picture, Vision 2020, our bold plan to give Louisville and Kentucky something they have never had, but must have in order to be competitive: a nationally pre-eminent private university with an ever-broadening reputation for excellence and strength. Under Vision 2020, Bellarmine is rapidly becoming the premier independent Catholic university in the South and the leading private school in the commonwealth and region. By touring Stonecote Estate today, you play a crucial role in our vision. All proceeds from the Show House benefit the Bellarmine Student Financial Aid Fund. The Show House has raised more than $1.6 million for this fund through the years, helping countless deserving young people achieve a Bellarmine University education and go on to lives of leadership and service in our community and beyond. I would like to thank the owners of Stonecote Estate, Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Christina West, for allowing us to feature this lovely home, and the many designers who have worked their magic within. Special thanks goes to Womens Council president Rose Mary Flener and Show House chairwomen Sandy Fowler and Jo Ann Miller for their leadership, and to all the members of the Bellarmine University Womens Council. Finally, I give my thanks to you for your support of Bellarmine University. Enjoy your tour! Sincerely,

Joseph J. McGowan

We are proud to be one of the longest continuously running Show Houses in the country! The Bellarmine University Womens Council was formed in 1963 at the request of Monsignor Alfred F.

We would like to give special thanks to our wonderful and creative designers who have given their time and talent to make the 2011 Designers Show House so grand. Also, our appreciation and thanks to our advertisers, patrons and friends for their support; to all the many marvelous women of the Bellarmine University Womens Council; and to the countless other volunteers whose tireless efforts have made this project possible.

history oF stonecote estAte

Stonecote Estate, a Scottish-Tudor home, sits on more than five acres on Alta Vista Road between Seneca and Cherokee Parks and is in the Lexington Road Preservation Area. Stonecote is Scottish for wainscoting, the skirting material used to cover a wall. The grounds surrounding the home include a four-car garage and carriage house, a one-bedroom cottage, an in-ground pool and a five-stall horse stable that is linked directly to the riding trails that run through Seneca and Cherokee Parks. Construction of the home began in 1920 and was completed in 1922 for the family of John Clancy, who was involved in banking. Mr. Clancy purchased the lot from the original owner, John B.McFerran. The Clancy family lived at Stonecote Estate until 1954 when the property was sold to insurance executive Dinwiddie Lampton. Mr. Lampton owned show horses and carriages, so he purchased additional acreage from his neighbor, Wilson Wyatt, Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky from 1941 1945 and Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky from 1959 1963. In 1965, after plans were made for Interstate 64, Mr. Lampton sold more than 2 acres at the rear of the property for the interstate right-of-way. Roy Owsley owned the property from 1965 to 1986, when he sold it to the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. John Cowley owned the property from 1987 to 2006, when it was purchased by the present owners, Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Christina West. The Bellarmine University Womens Council wishes to thank Dr. and Mrs. West for allowing us to present Stonecote Estate as the 2011 Designers Show House. Sandra W. Hobbs Historian Information for this history was gathered from the following resources: Carol Adelberg, assistant director of Legal Records, Jefferson County Clerks Office John Cowley: letter from Lois-don (Clancy) Beard dated July 1991 John Cowley: short history letter written to Dr. and Mrs. West in July 2006

3. HALLWAY
The generous proportions of the front porch allow two separate furniture groupings and functions- one for conversation and relaxing, and the other for an informal gathering spot for a light supper or breakfast. The seating area is anchored by a curved sofa by Gloster, fabricated in an all weather wicker material, and cushions covered in a durable Sunbrella fabric. The ottoman serves double duty as a relaxing spot to kick back with your feet up, or with a serving tray, can become a coffee table providing a surface for a pre-dinner drink or appetizer. The lounge chairs are finished in a lighter woven pattern by Brown Jordan and dont require a seat cushion at all - but can be accented with a throw pillow which ties the upholstery together, completing the eclectic assembly of lounging pieces. Colorful glazed pots have been chosen and planted to carry through the color scheme. The opposite end of the porch features a dining height table from Brown Jordans Madera collection, crafted of durable mahogany wood, with an eclectic mix of chair styles and a glass topped serving table. The hallway journey to the principal rooms will give guests reason to pause and admire the artistic majesty. The antique Turkish Oushak runner provides a walkway lighted with amber glass fixtures. The gallery of selected art may cause the guest to forget his destination.

Back in time, when we had handwritten letters, postal mailed photos, a wish you were here postcard was cherished . . . Before the man cave, we had the study; shelves of books, encyclopedias, and cherished memorabilia from trips past. Now we live in a world of Wiki, e-mails and photo text, Facebook and video chat. Where work from home is now an expectation; when laptops and the World Wide Web have taken over encyclopedias. Where I Google it instead of reference it. Bringing your work home does not mean we need to set up a cubical. It means you need to create a space interesting, family-oriented, a place to promote thought, learning and lets Google that together . . . I welcome you to the modern study; a museum of your life cherished photos and books from the past. Where you are no longer keeping up with the Joneses, you have become the Joneses. I welcome you to a room where brown with pops of bright color paisley meets warm velvets. A hand painted desk is accompanied by contemporary furnishings. Modern design meets local artwork and books decades old. My vision is a room where old meets the new and everything in between.

Come and experience the tranquil park-like setting offered in this Master Suite. The Suite has been given a soothing, yet spicy, color palette, with the walls finished in Cajun Shrimp and the ceiling in a calming blue. The flowing natural window treatments complement this backdrop of color to create a space that is a soothing retreat and that invites the outdoors in. Elegant details dominate this space, but the whimsical accents bring to life the fun of the outdoors. To complete this private get-away, we offer the warm wood tones in the furnishings and the natural linens of the bedding and window treatments to give it a fresh yet timeless feel.

The Upstairs Hall is painted in a soft butter yellow to complement the Ante-Room and Front Staircase wall covering. The bookcase is backed in a Kenneth James grasscloth to add depth and warmth against the decorative accessories. Hand painted canvas art and wall sconces were hung to complete the space.

The multifunctional guest bedroom and sitting room is a modern take on a tranquil country retreat. The palette is subtle and monochromatic; bronzes, taupes, beiges form a backdrop for a pop of coral in the accessories. Interest is added through a mix of textures: silk, linen, seagrass, and weathered wood are featured. Crystal shimmers throughout to add a touch of whimsy.

Cowtan and Tout Fabrics What a welcoming room in which to greet As an interior designer, this room spoke to me the minute I walked into the space. The fireplace, the window placement, the overall size, I could almost envision it completely decorated. My goal was to create an atmosphere of calmness and tranquility. I would accomplish this by using only soft, creamy colors, an ecru/beige pallet, and taking one special fabric and wrapping the room with it. Other rooms can be theatrical or dramatic, but bedrooms should be simple and serene so you feel you are waking up to an ordered world. A bedroom should be a place where your guests feel comfortable; a place to rest, watch TV, work on the computer, or curl up and read a good book. I hope you get as much enjoyment from this room as I did in designing it.

Shimmering silk curtains have a ball gown effect. The Oriental rug adds softness as well as texture. A pair of round tables with banquetes and chairs was used to create a more intimate seating area. Understated elegance best describes this space we hope you enjoy!

More than just a functional room, a bathroom should also be a retreat. The upstairs bathroom in Stonecote Estate is a lovely, light filled, double vanity bathroom, where vintage meets modern-day casual. A Carrara marble vanity and chrome and porcelain fixtures create the charm of yesteryear. Beadboard walls, a lovely vine pattern wall covering, and ivory linen fabrics create a casual, relaxed feel. Hints of luxury are seen in crystal details, a touch of animal print, fluffy white towels, and smooth snow white ceramics and glass. The overall calming color palette includes ecru, warm tans, charcoal blue grays, glossy white, and a hint of sparkle.

covering The kitchen of this beautiful home takes you back in time. You would think youre in a country farm house. Not quite, with all the modern appliances. The kitchen and butlers pantry would be a professional chefs dream. The striking center island sets the tone for this large kitchen. Talk about a great work or prep area; this is it. New wallpaper by Thibaut also continues the tone. The grays, yellow and cream mix with the exposed stone wall for that real earthy feeling. Sisal rugs and the raw wood of the furniture add to the natural feeling. Industrial lighting brings the kitchen into the new decade.

The room gives the owners a fine place to hang their hats, set their bags, drop sports equipment, and store supplies for the adjacent kitchen. I imagine the owners as smart, athletic Bellarmine University graduates who appreciate the value in lasting reminders of their convivial college days. They would travel regularly to collect antiques, art, and photography of their informed interests; as well as acquire locally from the best sources in Kentucky to outfit their fine house.

The Pool House Porch is designed to be an extension of the interior of the Pool House. Sofa and chairs with dream cushions are the best place to relax on a beautiful day. These spaces will be where you want to spend all your summer days and nights.

The rear terrace/patio features teak furniture products by Kingsley-Bate, including a traditional-styled garden bench and an extension table that comfortably seats a family of eight. As with the front porch, a mix of chair materials and styles makes it easy to transport the chairs to any of the outdoor areas whenever or wherever an extra seat is needed. A large rectangular umbrella anchors the dining area and provides a bit of color to the grouping. A Kamado Joe ceramic style grill on a stainless steel cart provides a classic cooking experience over hardwood charcoal, with a set of teak dining stools providing a spot for the chef to keep an eye on the grilling operation.

Nothing was to feel overworked, overthought, or overlooked. Grounding the project with the daring shade of palm frond green for the kitchen cabinets and sleek Carrara marble countertops was key for the entire project. A trio of timeless colors - shades of blues, reds and greens tied together throughout in colorful prints, accessories, organic shapes and beachy centerpieces help finish the effect. This combination of contrasts serves to put forth a polished, relaxed, divine style that is beyond welcoming for guests and homeowners alike!

Robby Davis, Mad Pixel Art & Design, Flame Run The Carriage House not only shows how to blend modern style into a traditional home, but proves that having a small space does not mean that one must forgo exquisite style. By using clean lines and an unexpected color palette mixed with modern furniture styles, the space is transformed from a simple apartment to a chic nest among the trees.
