GERMANSVILLE, PA (November 2022) Working with many of the top designers in the country, Grothouse proudly participated in House Beautiful’s Whole Home Concept to renovate a historic Tudor in Chastain Park, Atlanta, Georgia. Returning as a project partner for the fifth year in a row, the wood innovation leader contributed more custom-built products throughout the home than in previous years.

“We’re pleased to partner with House Beautiful once again and work with so many talented industry experts. We enjoyed helping to bring the designers’ visions to reality,” said Grothouse President and Owner Paul Grothouse. “This year’s Whole Home project is an impressive display of design work. You really get to see how custom wood surfaces elevate any and every room throughout the home.” 

While this year marks House Beautiful’s fifth anniversary of the Whole Home Concept, it’s the first-ever property renovation. Ladisic Fine Homes, Pak Heydt & Associates, and a dozen interior designers joined forces to reimagine and renovate the 11,000 square foot property with plenty of custom details. “It’s the perfect opportunity for House Beautiful and our talented team of designers, builders, and partners to transform this space with clever renovations, smart design concepts, and life-changing products,” said Carisha Swanson, House Beautiful’s Director of Editorial Special Projects.

Just in time to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Grothouse collaborated with designers from all over the United States to craft eight different custom-made designs for the Whole Home project. The pieces are located in five rooms throughout the two-story and many feature Grothouse’s proprietary exclusives including their Pigmented Oil, Anvil™ Metal, and Durata® Waterproof Finish. Grothouse’s custom pieces include the dining room table, dining room hutch, media room bar cabinet, bedside table, bedroom desk, and multiple countertops. Each unique piece serves as a shining example of Grothouse’s innovation and quality standards.
