On behalf of the Bellarmine University community, welcome to the 38th annual Women’s Council De-signers’ Show House! This year’s Show House, Stonecote Estate, is a 1920s-era Scottish-Tudor home on five acres in the Lexington Road Preservation Area. Louisville-area designers employed their considerable talents to make this home’s gracious spaces even more welcoming. I know you will be impressed with their imagination and attention to detail.

At Bellarmine University, we are also attuned to detail. The number of students in residence on our campus is at an all-time high, and we are committed to providing them wonderful spaces for living and learning. This fall, we opened the fourth and final residence hall in our Siena complex. These residence halls are equipped with all the comforts of home and beautifully designed to evoke the architecture of Tuscany, the home of our namesake, St. Roberto Bellarmino. The halls surround “L’arboreto,” a lushly landscaped area with water features and spaces for outdoor teaching and studying.

Resident and commuter students alike enjoy the new University Dining Hall, which opened last fall with expanded dining options, more seating and a panoramic view of campus through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Above the Dining Hall, students fill state-of-the-art classrooms in our newest school, the School of Communication.

The details are all part of a bigger picture, Vision 2020, our bold plan to give Louisville and Kentucky something they have never had, but must have in order to be competitive: a nationally pre-eminent private university with an ever-broadening reputation for excellence and strength. Under Vision 2020, Bellarmine is rapidly becoming the premier independent Catholic university in the South and the leading private school in the commonwealth and region.

By touring Stonecote Estate today, you play a crucial role in our vision. All proceeds from the Show House benefit the Bellarmine Student Financial Aid Fund. The Show House has raised more than $1.6 million for this fund through the years, helping countless deserving young people achieve a Bellarmine University education and go on to lives of leadership and service in our community and beyond.

I would like to thank the owners of Stonecote Estate, Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Christina West, for allowing us to feature this lovely home, and the many designers who have worked their magic within. Special thanks goes to Women’s Council president Rose Mary Flener and Show House chairwomen Sandy Fowler and Jo Ann Miller for their leadership, and to all the members of the Bellarmine University Women’s Council. Finally, I give my thanks to you for your support of Bellarmine University. Enjoy your tour!

Sincerely,

Joseph J. McGowan

On behalf of the Bellarmine University Women’s Council, we would like to welcome you to the 38th Designers’ Show House, this year at Stonecote Estate. We are proud to be one of the longest continuously running Show Houses in the country!

The Bellarmine University Women’s Council was formed in 1963 at the request of Monsignor Alfred F. Horrigan, the first president of what was then an all men’s college, as a liaison between Bellarmine and the community. Since the first Show House in 1974, the Bellarmine University Women’s Council Show Houses have raised more than $1.6 million for the Bellarmine University Student Financial Aid Fund, which provides scholarships to worthy students.

We would like to give special thanks to our wonderful and creative designers who have given their time and talent to make the 2011 Designers’ Show House so grand. Also, our appreciation and thanks to our advertisers, patrons and friends for their support; to all the many marvelous women of the Bellarmine University Women’s Council; and to the countless other volunteers whose tireless efforts have made this project possible. And many thanks to Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Christina West for allowing us to showcase Stonecote Estate.

While you are here, we invite you to stroll the beautiful grounds, have lunch in our café, and visit the boutique. Thank you for attending the 2011 Designers’ Show House!

Sincerely,

Rose Mary Flener, PresidentBellarmine University Women’s Council

Stonecote Estate, a Scottish-Tudor home, sits on more than five acres on Alta Vista Road between Seneca and Cherokee Parks and is in the Lexington Road Preservation Area. “Stonecote” is Scottish for wainscot-ing, the skirting material used to cover a wall.

The grounds surrounding the home include a four-car garage and carriage house, a one-bedroom cottage, an in-ground pool and a five-stall horse stable that is linked directly to the riding trails that run through Seneca and Cherokee Parks.

Construction of the home began in 1920 and was completed in 1922 for the family of John Clancy, who was involved in banking. Mr. Clancy purchased the lot from the original owner, John B.McFerran.

The Clancy family lived at Stonecote Estate until 1954 when the property was sold to insurance executive Dinwiddie Lampton. Mr. Lampton owned show horses and carriages, so he purchased additional acre-age from his neighbor, Wilson Wyatt, Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky from 1941 – 1945 and Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky from 1959 – 1963. In 1965, after plans were made for Interstate 64, Mr. Lampton sold more than 2 acres at the rear of the property for the interstate right-of-way.

Roy Owsley owned the property from 1965 to 1986, when he sold it to the Louisville Presbyterian Semi-nary. John Cowley owned the property from 1987 to 2006, when it was purchased by the present owners, Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Christina West.

The Bellarmine University Women’s Council wishes to thank Dr. and Mrs. West for allowing us to pres-ent Stonecote Estate as the 2011 Designers’ Show House.

1. FRONT PORCH

Digs Home & Garden109 Chenoweth Square | Louisville, KY 40207502.893.3447

DESIGNER: Ben Palmer-Ball

ASSISTANT: Debbie Woolfolk

The generous proportions of the front porch

allow two separate furniture groupings and

functions- one for conversation and relaxing,

and the other for an informal gathering spot

for a light supper or breakfast. The seating area is anchored by

a curved sofa by Gloster, fabricated in an all weather wicker

material, and cushions covered in a durable Sunbrella fabric.

The ottoman serves double duty as a relaxing spot to kick back

with your feet up, or with a serving tray, can become a coffee

table providing a surface for a pre-dinner drink or appetizer. The

lounge chairs are finished in a lighter woven pattern by Brown

Jordan and don’t require a seat cushion at all - but can be ac-

cented with a throw pillow which ties the upholstery together,

completing the eclectic assembly of lounging pieces. Colorful

glazed pots have been chosen and planted to carry through

the color scheme. The opposite end of the porch features a

dining height table from Brown Jordan’s Madera collection,

crafted of durable mahogany wood, with an eclectic mix of

chair styles and a glass topped serving table.

2. LIVING ROOM

Tassels12004 Shelbyville Rd. | Louisville, KY 40243502.245.7887

DESIGNERS: Kevin Coleman, Marsha Riggle

CREDITS: PPG Porter Paint

Welcome to the Stonecote Estate living room,

where timeless classic design is infused with

a modern perspective. Upon entering the

room, your eyes are drawn to the eclectic

mix of European inspired furniture with distressed finishes,

paired with crisp contemporary silhouettes punctuated by

splashes of wasabi green, cerise, and tangerine. Walls the

color of well-worn white linen, give a subtle backdrop for the

old world sepia tone landscapes and hand colored botanicals

that play counterpoint to the suspended collection of artisan

glass bowls and spheres. The room’s abundance of seating

and sophisticated style gives the space multiple entertainment

options. Whether having intimate conversation with family and

friends or listening to the relaxation of piano melodies on the

baby grand, you are sure to enjoy time spent here.

The hallway journey to the principal rooms

will give guests reason to pause and admire

the artistic majesty. The antique Turkish Oushak runner provides

a walkway lighted with amber glass fixtures. The gallery of

selected art may cause the guest to forget his destination.

4. POWDER ROOM

man; PPG Porter Paint

Color and cheerfulness blend together to

create this beautiful formal Powder Room.

Vibrant and warm shades of pomegranate and sage green

create a soothing and botanical feel. Soft and flowing stencil-

ing adds whimsy and character to this space.

The custom glass and bronze table, designed by Lisa Steinbock

and created by artist Patsy Sowitho, from Arizona, adds so

much charm to our bathroom. Don’t forget to check out our

ceiling. You may find some of those sweet birds flitting about

there as well!

5. THE STUDY

Virginia Court Interiors767 N. Randolph Ave. | Clarksville, IN 47129502.648.3855

DESIGNER: Jason Beck


Back in time, when we had handwritten let-

ters, postal mailed photos, a “wish you were

here” postcard was cherished . . . Before

“the man cave,” we had the study; shelves

of books, encyclopedias, and cherished memorabilia from

trips past. Now we live in a world of Wiki, e-mails and photo

text, Facebook and video chat. Where work from home is

now an expectation; when laptops and the World Wide Web

have taken over encyclopedias. Where I “Google” it instead

of reference it. Bringing your work home does not mean we

need to set up a cubical. It means you need to create a space

interesting, family-oriented, a place to promote thought, learn-

ing and “lets Google that together” . . . I welcome you to the

modern study; a museum of your life cherished photos and

books from the past. Where you are no longer keeping up

with the Joneses, you have become the Joneses. I welcome

you to a room where brown with pops of bright color paisley

meets warm velvets. A hand painted desk is accompanied by

contemporary furnishings. Modern design meets local artwork

and books decades old. My vision is a room where old meets

the new and everything in between.

6. MASTER BEDROOM

Leslie Lewis & Assoc.247 Spring St. | Jeffersonville, IN 47130812.282.6606

DESIGNERS: Robin Wagoner (left), Leslie

Come and experience the tranquil park-like

setting offered in this Master Suite. The Suite has been given

a soothing, yet spicy, color palette, with the walls finished in

Cajun Shrimp and the ceiling in a calming blue. The flowing

natural window treatments complement this backdrop of color

to create a space that is a soothing retreat and that invites

the outdoors in.

Elegant details dominate this space, but the whimsical accents

bring to life the fun of the outdoors. To complete this private

get-away, we offer the warm wood tones in the furnishings

and the natural linens of the bedding and window treatments

to give it a fresh yet timeless feel.

Swathed in vintage elegance, the Master Bath brings the

beautiful grounds inside with a hand painted wall mural of tree

branches, birds and insects. An antique French tapestry was

the inspiration for the mural on the folding floor screen next

to the claw foot tub. An eclectic mix of wooden furniture, a

vintage bird cage, and nature inspired collections of original

artwork displayed in beautiful frames, reflect a nature inspired

look throughout the room.

All eyes are drawn to this landing with ex-

quisite Al Fresco colors of sage, basil and a pop of raspberry

in Burberry-Like Plaid Silk Taffeta Curtains. Graced by loose,

European headings and hung on artistic hand-painted hardware,

the overall look is soft and romantic, with all the sensuality of a

fresh Spring Day. Enticing you up the stairs is a subtle glazed

stripe, tone on tone, guiding footsteps upward and encour-

aged by a warmly lit sconce.

The multifunctional guest bedroom and

sitting room is a modern take on a tranquil

country retreat. The palette is subtle and monochromatic;

bronzes, taupes, beiges form a backdrop for a pop of coral in

the accessories. Interest is added through a mix of textures:

silk, linen, seagrass, and weathered wood are featured. Crystal

shimmers throughout to add a touch of whimsy.

This bedroom has been transformed into a

romantic hideaway. An international flair can take you anywhere

in the world. The custom made bed has a Modern Venetian

feel. Two 1860 Italian chairs flank the bookcase. The Renais-

sance chest is also a part of the Modern Venetian collection

by me. The handpainting looks like fabric and the knobs are

hand blown glass. The chandelier is custom made of silk and

adds a touch of the exotic. This room will make you feel like

you are on a romantic rendezvous in Venice!

A splash of color awakens this small yet cozy guest bath while

The design of the Jack & Jill bathroom combines the style of

the home with modern elements. The combination of a fresh

color palette with the use of playful floral and geometric designs

creates a bright sunny space and provides a gender-neutral

and ageless transition between the two bedrooms.

Great colors, marvelous furnishings, everything is perfect to

welcome guests or family into this corner bedroom. The worldly

inspired retreat is filled with strong colors and eye-catching

patterns that bring the room to life. Upon entering, one finds

the bedroom pops with beautiful color washed walls, adding

a bold yet subtle aging effect to the room. The Cajun Shrimp

wall and Ikat patterned headboard set the stage for this color-

ful bedroom, giving it that fresh, livable feel. Complementing

fabrics in a rich variety of textures and colors, vivid oranges,

bold reds, bright turquoise, and warm yellows bring light to the

room. Whether this room is used for family or guests, there is

one certainty - there will be a coin toss of who gets to enjoy

all of its uniqueness.

DESIGNER: Gary Stewart

Cowtan and Tout Fabrics

As an interior designer, this room spoke to

me the minute I walked into the space. The

fireplace, the window placement, the overall

size, I could almost envision it completely decorated. My goal

was to create an atmosphere of calmness and tranquility. I

would accomplish this by using only soft, creamy colors, an

ecru/beige pallet, and taking one special fabric and wrapping

the room with it. Other rooms can be theatrical or dramatic,

but bedrooms should be simple and serene so you feel you are

waking up to an ordered world. A bedroom should be a place

where your guests feel comfortable; a place to rest, watch TV,

work on the computer, or curl up and read a good book.

I hope you get as much enjoyment from this room as I did in

designing it.

17. BATHROOM

Decorating Den Interiors1511 Sable Wing Circle | Louisville, KY 40223502.245.0052

DESIGNER: Kristen Pawlak


More than just a “functional” room, a bath-

room should also be a “retreat.” The upstairs

bathroom in Stonecote Estate is a lovely,

light filled, double vanity bathroom, where

vintage meets modern-day casual. A Carrara marble vanity

and chrome and porcelain fixtures create the charm of yester-

year. Beadboard walls, a lovely vine pattern wall covering, and

ivory linen fabrics create a casual, relaxed feel. Hints of luxury

are seen in crystal details, a touch of animal print, fluffy white

towels, and smooth snow white ceramics and glass. The overall

calming color palette includes ecru, warm tans, charcoal blue

grays, glossy white, and a hint of sparkle.

18. ANTE-ROOM

The French Pleat - Fine Design552 E. Market St. | Louisville, KY 40202502.608.8134

What a welcoming room in which to greet

our closest friends and family! The sunny

gold wallcovering from Thibaut serves as

a perfect backdrop for treasured family

moments and brightens even the dreariest of days. Lovely

antique furnishings and elegant silk draperies complete this

charming entryway.

The Dining room’s warm gray walls, accented

with a chinoiserie mural in varying shades of white set the tone

for a space that is both elegant and sophisticated.

Silver and crystal accessories have been used throughout,

acting as jewelry for the room, adding even more ambiance.

Shimmering silk curtains have a ball gown effect. The Oriental

rug adds softness as well as texture. A pair of round tables

with banquetes and chairs was used to create a more intimate

seating area. Understated elegance best describes this space

we hope you enjoy!

The kitchen of this beautiful home takes

you back in time. You would think you’re

in a country farm house. Not quite, with all

the modern appliances. The kitchen and butler’s pantry would

be a professional chef’s dream. The striking center island sets

the tone for this large kitchen. Talk about a great work or prep

area; this is it. New wallpaper by Thibaut also continues the

tone. The grays, yellow and cream mix with the exposed stone

wall for that real earthy feeling. Sisal rugs and the raw wood

of the furniture add to the natural feeling. Industrial lighting

brings the kitchen into the new decade.

High End, Sophistication and Elegance.

The room is showcased by provincial wall

The understated elegance of the subtly lighting invites entrance

their hats, set their bags, drop sports equipment, and store

supplies for the adjacent kitchen. I imagine the owners as smart,

athletic Bellarmine University graduates who appreciate the

value in lasting reminders of their convivial college days. They

would travel regularly to collect antiques, art, and photogra-

phy of their informed interests; as well as acquire locally from

the best sources in Kentucky to outfit their fine house. Deep

green gloss highlights the room’s original wood Dutch door,

as cool gray covers original wood casement windows and

details to quietly recede the room’s confines and highlight its

architectural strengths.

The Conservatory features beautiful textured elements of

limestone, terra cotta tile, and beadboard. Soft upholstery and

the warmth of Oriental rugs and drapery panels create a warm

and inviting area that sweeps you into another world. Watch

the seasons go by while enjoying yourself with your family or

a group of friends. Let the party begin in this room and then

spill out onto the patio and pool area. The Conservatory offers

elegant style that is still inviting and relaxing.

25. PATIO


DESIGNER: Ben Palmer-Ball


The rear terrace/patio features teak furni-

ture products by Kingsley-Bate, including

a traditional-styled garden bench and an

extension table that comfortably seats a

family of eight. As with the front porch, a mix of chair mate-

rials and styles makes it easy to transport the chairs to any

of the outdoor areas whenever or wherever an extra seat is

needed. A large rectangular umbrella anchors the dining area

and provides a bit of color to the grouping. A Kamado Joe

ceramic style grill on a stainless steel cart provides a classic

cooking experience over hardwood charcoal, with a set of teak

dining stools providing a spot for the chef to keep an eye on

the grilling operation.

When walking out to a pool patio, Aqua

surpasses all expectations. Blue and Cream

accent the pool perfectly, keeping the space

simple and refined. The classic styled frames

with the hand woven N-Dura resin water

hyacinth is what you want to spend time on with friends and

family.

Finishing off our room are two beautiful bronze and crystal

pendant lights that add a bit of formality to things.

This bathroom is so cheery and delightful; you may never

want to leave it!

Paint and Paper

When the Bucklers of Details Design and Cabinetry agreed

to style the Pool House, the idea was for this special spot to

seem effortless and breezy. Nothing was to feel overworked,

overthought, or overlooked. Grounding the project with the

daring shade of palm frond green for the kitchen cabinets

and sleek Carrara marble countertops was key for the entire

project. A trio of timeless colors - shades of blues, reds and

greens tied together throughout in colorful prints, accessories,

organic shapes and beachy centerpieces help finish the effect.

This combination of contrasts serves to put forth a polished,

relaxed, divine style that is beyond welcoming for guests and

homeowners alike!

29. DINING ROOM PATIO


DESIGNERS: Ben Palmer-Ball


A large oval cast aluminum table and eclec-

tic mix of chair styles provide an outdoor

option convenient to the kitchen for a pre-

dinner appetizer or light bite. An all-weather

aluminum and woven wicker sideboard completes the simple

dining arrangement.

The Carriage House not only shows how to blend modern

style into a traditional home, but proves that having a small

space does not mean that one must forgo exquisite style. By

using clean lines and an unexpected color palette mixed with

modern furniture styles, the space is transformed from a simple

apartment to a chic nest among the trees.
