Traton Homes’ stunning decorated model home at The Grove at Adams Pond in Smyrna won a Gold OBIE Award for Best Interior Merchandising of a Detached Model at the 2019 OBIE Awards. Featuring the Taylor D floorplan, the timeless sophistication of this model is enhanced with unexpected surprises and details throughout creating an unforgettable experience for anyone searching for a new home.

 “Studio 5 Interiors did a fantastic job of merchandising this model home to be inviting and appealing to homebuyers,” said Kimberly Garwood, Director of Marketing for Traton Homes. “The Taylor D model is modern, fresh, airy and great for entertaining on any scale.”

The home’s decor incorporates comfort with upscale finishes, unique lighting and designer touches, maximizing the livability of each room by providing ample seating and functionality. Touches of navy contrast with crisp, sheer draperies and textures of off-white and gray linens. These soft tones and textures complement the tailored lines of weathered aged eclectic wood furnishings and abstract art selections that are as individual as the buyer. By incorporating luxurious finishes and cabinetry, the model exudes quality and style. Design selections of white Carrara surfaces and white cabinets blend with the airy textural interiors. The dark hand-scraped hardwoods add balance by anchoring the rooms and creating contrast to the lighter finishes, linen fabrics and sheer draperies.    

The spacious main level has an open family room with shiplap walls, a quaint dining area, and a stunning kitchen that features a large center island, stylish white cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Joining the main floor to the back porch and garage, this plan features a mudroom, perfect for storage or other utility needs.

The expansive owner’s suite is dreamy with king size upholstered bed, seating area, patterned carpet and two chandeliers suspended from a ship-lapped ceiling. Touches of gold mixed with linens of all tones and textures develop a unique style that sets the suite apart. The well-appointed owner’s bath is a true retreat from a busy day. Accent mirrors hang in front of the large plate glass mirror and add an unforgettable touch to finish the beautiful bathroom. Each of the spacious secondary bedrooms showcase queen size beds, two nightstands and double dressers.

The third-floor bonus level is the perfect place for family and friends to play ping pong and cheer on their favorite team. A linen sectional sofa and accent chair provides seating for the entire party. Pops of navy hint to a local team nearby...Go Braves! To continue with the surprises, the hallway bookcase conceals a hidden "speakeasy" for cards, bourbon and cigars.
