Decorator Show House 2010

This year’s show house, Witching Hour Farm, is a one hundred year old, seven bedroom home on eighty acres in the beautiful horse country of Woodbine, Maryland. The property was named for a favorite horse of a previous owner. The horse was born at the stroke of midnight (the witching hour) and the name evokes thoughts of magic and mystery. With a lot of hard work, and a little magic, the designers have transformed a blank palette into a warm and welcoming home.
