“We’re excited for the opportunity to have so many great designers display their talents at Hampton Lake,” said Gerrit Albert, president of Hampton Lake.
Complimentary seminars will be offered throughout the day at the 3,300 sq. ft. house covering topics such as faux painting, window treatments, fabrics and color schemes. Area chefs will also be on hand demonstrating various cooking techniques and preparing tasty treats. Guests are also invited to visit the award-winning amenity village at Hampton Lake for lunch at Backwater Bill’s, the community’s casual lakefront bar and grill (credit card only).
“Altogether we are making this an exceptional event,” said Albert. “Participants will get fresh decorating ideas, make new friends and see our lakefront community.”
The Designer Show House was built by Tilton Group Signature Homes. It features heart of pine reclaimed antique floors, farm house molding, gourmet kitchen countertops made of paper stone and a screened-in porch with slate floor.
