Home tour: Great for ideas

Judy Wiley has been going to theBuilders Association of South Central Kentuckys Parade of Homes for about seven years, and she has been blown away each time.

We love it, she said. Were big decorators.

She loves to decorate so much that she scribbles different details she likes on the back of the appropriate business cards and clips them to pages in the Parade of Homes magazine.

This is a good way to get ideas for your own home, she said. You cant remember every detail.

On Thursday evening, she walked through the home on 138 Stone Mill Court in the Stone Bluff subdivision.The home, built by Kirby Builders, won Best in Show Over 3,000 Square Feet, Best Master Bath and Best Curb Appeal.

This is a gorgeous family house, Wiley said.

The home has a variety of features, including four bedrooms, 31/2 baths,hand-scraped hickory hardwood floors,a two-car garage and ascreened porch off the living room with speakers in the ceiling and a view of the backyard and outdoor living space. The outdoor living space has an outdoor fireplace, a grill, a smoker, a refrigerator, a sink and a side burner.

Its a really rustic, traditional house. Its an energy-efficient house, said Kyle Kirby, owner of Kirby Builders. It makes my job easier when your homeowners work with you andwhen you surround yourself with creative people in the business.Im real happy and proud of it.

Leslie Campbell, her husband, Michael, and their two young daughters plan to move in after the Parade of Homes. They also are pleased with the house.

My husband wanted to live in the country, and I wanted to live in a subdivision. This is our compromise, she said.
