Showcase Home
The Exterior
Fort Worth Magazine’s 2019 Showcase Home has a decidedly modern farmhouse feel — from the exterior stucco made to look like old siding to the clerestory windows and rich pecky cypress in the living room fireplace wall and white oak floors that tie the whole home together. Even off in the distance, the new TEXRail commuter train whizzes by Colleyville — throwing off the sensation, for just a moment, that this is a European country home.
The home — 5,173 square feet, five bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, at 208 Winnie Drive in Colleyville’s luxury Oakleigh development — was built by John Webb of Heritage Homes and listed for sale at $1.89 million by Jeannie Anderson of The Jeannie Anderson Group, Keller Williams Realty. As in the magazine’s long-running series of annual Dream Homes, we’ve collaborated with some of the region’s finest luxury vendors in our inaugural Showcase Home.
The home, designed by longtime Heritage collaborator Skip Blake of Blake Architects, goes a long way down transitional architecture’s road to modern with its focus on clean lines and open, airy design that draws the outside in. “I hope it stays with us for many years,” Webb says.
HGTV star Donna Moss and a team of well-credentialed designers use the Showcase Home’s modern look and neutral color palette to add lots of color, texture and contrasts. The home is giving birth to a new web-based design network, led by the Fort Worth producer Josh Mills, called Home Design Television, homedesignTV.com, that launches in late June. Mills (see separate story on page 41) followed the months-long construction and interior decoration of the Showcase Home for 10 episodes that will appear on the network. The Showcase Home will be open for tours June 29–July 21 to benefit a Wish with Wings, our official charity.

Living/entry: Designer: Donna Moss
The clerestory windows, rich pecky cypress floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround, glass walls and doors at the entry and opening onto the patio, blonde wooden floors and neutral color palette set the warm farmhouse mood. Moss augmented the space with a pair of swinging egg-shaped chairs, hanging from the 20-foot ceiling. “To me, farmhouse is a throwback to a simpler time reminiscent of charming and cozy homes that always had rockers or a large swing on the front porch,” Moss says. “The chairs in the family room gave the room a whimsical feel to go along with the modern elements in the space, to help create this fancy farmhouse.” Moss, an HGTV star designer known as the “Queen of Bling,” says she started the room with the hanging chairs and neutral-hued sofas. Then, “the quest for the earthy natural items began. I found a unique live edge wood table, and then, along with The Botanical Mix, we designed some large floras with natural wood and materials. Then began the journey to add a little bling and [we] began designing the wall space and art to add that sparkle that is the icing on the cake for this unique room.” The entry walls, by Cara Conkle, are done in an ombre fading finish, with gray and sparkles mixed into the plaster.
Color palette: Whites, creams, and grays; woods in fireplace surround, floors, accent furniture pieces; touches of green and blue to tie with kitchen island and pool tiles that can be seen through the sliding-glass doors.

Guest suite: Designer: Dann Foley
The suite just off the Showcase Home’s living room is perfect for overnight guests or, as Dann Foley envisions it, an “Art Retreat,” a luxuriant, richly accessorized, masculine sitting room filled with objets d’art set apart from the bustle of the rest of the house. Foley chooses upholstery with clean lines and juxtaposes that with a 17th century-inspired Fauteuil armchair. He elevates the hallway leading to the suite with five vertical I-beam sculptures. “I wanted to create a truly unique space that is filled with art and artifacts. Though inspiration can begin anywhere, I fell in love with the pinstriped velvet setee first. Then I was thrilled to find a one-of-a-kind unique Serapi carpet at Feizy. The room literally took off from there. I allow myself to be open to all types of furniture and products when sourcing for any project. This room was no different. I wanted to create a room that I would use and love for years to come.”
Color palette: “I have punctuated the natural wood floors and ivory walls with layers of rich gray and brown. The accent colors from across the spectrum come through in the art and accessories.”

Study: Designer: Sherry Hayslip
The Showcase Home’s two-room study is just to the right as you enter the home, behind a striking pecky cypress, custom barn door made by Delgado Custom Trim. And just to make sure you don’t miss it, designer Sherry Hayslip leads with a full-size wall mural depicting the biblical David wearing purple-hued Ray-Bans, inspired by Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Hayslip, referring to the study as “classically modern,” fills both rooms with furnishings and accessories meant to stimulate thought. She adds texture by layering two rugs — sisal and fuzzy natural fibers — on top of each other. “I imagined occupants who are passionate about art, who collect new ideas, who blend a modern aesthetic with a love of all things classical — objects that are elegant and even a little kitschy. The study is a place where they can lounge, read, play a game, research or just sit and chill. The spaces are a version of their own unique ‘cabinet of curiosities’ and are meant to house memories, inspiration, culture and the occupants’ interest in all aspects of life.”
Color palette: Silvery taupe, nutmeg, crème brûlée, faded rose. “The color palette is neutral with surprising splashes of color from purple to pink to green and more.”

Master suite: Designer: LaWanna Wood
LaWanna Wood, a longtime North Texas designer, is known for specialty and theme rooms. “I do a lot of layering, combining things they have with new pieces. I strive to be creative and unusual with my projects.” The Showcase Home’s master suite is a vast canvas for Wood. With the home’s farmhouse motif and the room’s vaulted ceiling and beam and glass wall facing the backyard and pool deck, Wood first added a black shiplap wall to the master bed wall. That contrasts the room’s whites. “We knew this element would be the focal point of our design.” Wood’s first decision on furnishings: the white gesso-finished poster bed. “It is definitely the farmhouse piece of the room,” and it “sets off” the black-and-white color scheme. Then Wood lets loose with color in the bedding, furnishings, art pieces and floral pieces. “We chose to go with a lot of color, which is opposite of a typical farmhouse aesthetic. We did layer with white to make it relatable to our audience. I think clients are sometimes afraid of color, and I wanted to show how fun it can be.” The master bath’s tone is set by the dramatic black-and-white geometric pattern in the tile chosen by Elements of Design. Wood added a custom abstract acrylic on canvas painting above the tub, tying the bath to the bedroom, accessorized with colors from the bedroom.

Kitchen/prep: Designer: Ashley Black
One of transitional design’s tenets opens the home to the outside, and designer Ashley Black’s feel for the kitchen follows. “My inspiration for the kitchen was to create a space where people can gather and feel lively surrounded by natural elements,” she says. She used Sherwin-Williams’ Isle of Pines color on the island. Black also accessorized the space with preserved and organic fruits and vegetables and an all-natural floral arrangement statement piece on the island. The neutrals elsewhere in the color palette — including in the white macabus countertops and Grace barstools — tie the kitchen to the adjoining great room. Black topped the space with three organic crystalline mineral chandeliers, “dripping in selenite” from antiqued brass shades and hanging from a pecky cypress drop ceiling.

Designers Kiersten Medanich of Greenway Designs paired with Biz Davis of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, which furnished the dining room. Elements include a 76x40 Kimora Rosewood table and Kimora 56 Rosewood buffet, both made of woods and metals. The table offers a “refreshing, light look,” Davis says. To the vignette, she added Gage Dining Chairs, in Tahoe White Leather with a dark bronze steel frame. The mix “juxtaposes a soft and supple texture to the sleek lines of the steel frame, contrasting off the natural elements found in this very organic space,” Davis says. She also added a Franny ottoman covered in Graffi Eucalyptus, tying it to the green hue in the adjoining kitchen island.

Game room: Designer: Traci Darden
A large sliding door with visible tracks serves as the entrance to this room full of fun and function. The game room’s dark green, earthy hues and soaring ceilings make it the perfect space to take a deep breath. A trio of rebar-laced lights — hung at varying lengths — and a gathering table made from a repurposed commuter bicycle from India perfectly juxtapose the nature-laden design elements and lend themselves perfectly to the modern farmhouse theme. Traci Darden, the room’s designer, loved playing with textures, as evident in the room’s centerpiece — a hair-on-hide rug with an open-diamond pattern — and the natural wood slices that pop up throughout the design. Not to go unnoticed is the 76-inch television screen with a custom frame designed by Dallas Art & Décor.
Color palette: Multiple shades of green that go from muted to bright. Cabinets and trim painted gray and gold highlights provide a contrast to the room’s dark wood tones.

Utility: Designer: Donna Moss
The Showcase Home’s utility room doubles as a mud room and even a dog cave for the family pooch. It’s a highly functional space but a pleasant one, too, positioned at a front corner of the home, beneath a canopy of trees, with two old-style banks of windows looking out across the front lawn and an exit onto an inviting patio with fountain. The room colors are black and white in the tile floor and granite, leather-finish countertop (both black) and white tile wall, with black grout in a simple geometric pattern. The dog bed keeps with this palette in white and black. Moss layered two rugs on top of each other in black and white, one with firm fiber and the other in fuzzy natural, similar to the home’s study. She accessorized in color with floral arrangements, towels and drapery.

Upstairs: Designers: Kim Bailey and Lauren Bailey Rude, Kristi Hopper, Ruthie Staalsen, Donna Moss
A trio of rooms — two bedrooms and one “chill-out space” — each with its own distinct flavor welcome guests to the home’s second story. On the front end of the house, the hangout space’s steep, A-frame vaulted ceiling opens up an otherwise confined space. The room’s utility as a hangout spot and its bright aesthetic and curated mishmash of art were inspired by designer Ruthie Staalsen’s two daughters. “I know what they loved while they were at home,” Staalsen says. “Every teen girl loves to hang out in a fun, happy space full of personality and whimsy. I wanted to make a space that creates conversation and an environment that makes your friends want to stay for dinner.”
The middle bedroom contrasts the hangout space with darker tones and splashes of ashy pink. According to the room’s designer, Kristi Hopper, the room’s direction changed once she saw the Arte Moooi wallpaper. “I got goosebumps when I saw it,” Hopper says. “I love the color palette, and this wallpaper was just what I wanted.” A standout in the home, the wallpaper is a collage of extinct animals and unique flora printed on soft-touch textile.
The study/loft, designed by Donna Moss, plays up a European art-studio vibe with loose pieces of art strewn about a dark-blue backdrop and serves as the perfect segue to the house’s back bedroom.
The final room’s floral theme, which includes lush green and pink pastels, takes its cue from the bathroom’s hexagon tile pattern, which reminded designers Kim Bailey and Lauren Bailey Rude of a grandmother’s quilt. And, much like a quilt, the designers slowly pieced the furnishings together from a wide array of vendors.

Outdoor living: Designers: Danny Russo and Trish Beaudet
Bringing comfort and sophistication of an indoor space to a back patio is no easy feat. Yet, designers Danny Russo and Trish Beaudet managed a solid wink to an indoor space when designing the outdoor living area. Far more casual than the house’s indoor décor, there remain sophisticated flares, such as the end tables, lamps and a small dresser tucked in a corner. Yet, their use of natural wood throughout, including as placemats and accents, is a perfect match with the home’s modern farmhouse feel. “The design process was a collaboration,” Russo says. “We managed to find the perfect elements to accentuate the casual, open space the builder created.”

The monochromatic blue tile with interspersing baby- and navy-blue segments, the infinity-edged spa, concrete edging and the pool’s sharp corners give this backyard centerpiece a clean aesthetic. The sidewalk’s gaps filled with gray river rock provide a tasteful accent. Melissa Gerstle, the pool area’s designer, optimized the space for socializing and relaxation. “It’s important to design a space that’s conducive to bringing people together,” Gerstle says. “The design elements for this space, therefore, include lots of seating to provide opportunities for tête-à-tête conversations.” Gerstle’s furnishings perfectly accentuate the beautiful blues and clean, modern lines of the swimming pool, which provide a calm, peaceful space

The Garage
Architecture/landscape
A modern farmhouse, the home’s minimalist exterior juxtaposes its lush and active interior. The façade is made mostly of painted white brick, and its faux barn siding is made of stucco. The metal roof contributes to the home’s clean, stark minimalism. High ceilings and large windows also abound, and the open floorplan keeps the interior light and airy.
The landscaping, completed by Guardado Landscaping, employs Bermuda 419 as its turf. With more house than yard on this lot, Guardado makes good use of the space without making the yard feel overcrowded with flora. Despite this, numerous species will call this lot home, including planted live oak trees, Taylor junipers, Japanese maple, rosemary, African irises, dwarf nana junipers and color guard yucca.
