The runner is on third taking a well-deserved breather until the opportunity comes when he can steal home.  Unlike the resting runner, folks who are interested in visiting Home Plate, the home of retired Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Wohlers and his family, shouldn’t be taking it easy. They should be making immediate plans to visit the 16th Annual Roswell Woman’s Club Showcase Home Tour this Friday, Saturday, or Sunday—because those are the last three days of the tour.

Other blog posts in this series have described the gathering room, kichen, dining areas, and the Master Suite on the main level; the children’s domain on the second level; the media room and other entertainment spaces on the Terrace Level; and the outstanding outdoor living space on the rear porch.

Not to be neglected is the guest room on the second level. It’s tucked away in a wing by itself, which ensures quiet and privacy. Any overnight guest would enjoy the tranquil views of the pool and patio area as well as the vast backyard.

The decor by Esperanza Koop of Sol Interiors is one of simple sophistication and reflects her enthusiasm for a stimulating blend of eclectic, modern, and classical elements.

Take Mom out for a nice brunch or lunch and then bring her to tour Home Plate, the 16th Annual Roswell Woman’s Club Showcase Home Tour. This year the home was offered by retired Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Wohlers and his family. It replaces their former home, which was lost in a devastating fire.

Moms love decorating ideas and they’ll find plenty in this very livable home. Everyone loves the open floor plan and all the gracious, comfortable furniture and the eclectic and innivative accessories.

One of the most popular spaces is the main-level Master Suite designed by Sandi Fogarty of Home Fashion Interiors. It’s at once elegant and serene done in neutral tones.

The Master Bath is an oasis of tranquility.

Mom can easily imagine pampering herself here on her special day or any other time.

So treat Mom this Sunday afternoon by visiting Home Plate.

Visitors call the open floor plan a home run. On the main level, the foyer, dining room, kitchen, and great room are one big open space where everyone can be doing different things and yet all be within sight and hearing of each other—a true family-friendly space. The openness lends itself to aerving as a great party area as well. As if the family angle weren’t perfect enough, the large living area flows out onto a gigantic porch living space—almost doubling the possibilities for family activities and entertaining.
