Birmingham Home & Garden Partners with Russell Lands On Lake Martin

New home in The Willows is the 2019 Inspiration Home

Classic Homes’ newest project was selected by Birmingham Home & Garden magazine to be their 2019 Inspiration Home. The new lake home, under construction in The Willows of Willow Point, is slated to be finished and photo-ready in August of 2019, in advance of a month-long open house event in September of 2019.

“We are honored to have our newest home design selected to be featured in such a respected and popular publication,” said Chad Calhoun, President of Classic Homes, a member of the Russell Lands, Inc. family of businesses specializing in building lake homes in Russell Lands On Lake Martin neighborhoods. “We are excited about building this new home in our newest Willow Point neighborhood. We hope that this home gives people design inspiration for their home project, either here at Lake Martin or wherever they might be building.”

Birmingham Home & Garden, when looking for their 2019 project, hoped that they might be able to partner with someone on Lake Martin for this project. Classic Homes had already slated building a new lake home designed by Scott Torode of Pfeffer Torode Architects in The Willows of Willow Point.

The Birmingham Home & Garden team reached out to see what was new at Russell Lands On Lake Martin, and their timing was excellent. Classic Homes had a new “instant classic” home design ready to build, and the magazine was inspired to consider making Lake Martin its first out-of-town showcase home.

More than just a house

An Inspiration Home showcases more than neighborhood, design and quality construction; décor and furnishing share center stage as well. Each Inspiration Home project utilizes the skill of multiple interior designers and stores. In fact, each room of the house will be the palate for a dedicated design/furnishing team. The latest and greatest will be on display for one month once the home is completed.

In addition to being a showplace, the Inspiration Home supports a local charity. Tickets are sold to everyone who visits the home. For this event, Classic Homes and Birmingham Home & Garden agreed to continue the Lake Martin theme by donating all proceeds from ticket sales to Children’s Harbor, an organization dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families.
