“Cohesiveness was key to connecting the spaces together,” said Rives. “Having the home look like one designer did it was important to us. We wanted it to look and feel like one home, not like a showcase house where every room is done in a different style. We put a lot of trust in the designers and gave them free rein to do what they needed to do.”

Neutral Tones, Eye-Popping Treatments

An underlying palette of neutral tones throughout the house serves as a subtle backdrop for carefully curated art in a variety of media, spectacular lighting fixtures, eye-popping wall and window treatments, and colorful furnishings that combine functionality with style.

Main level living not only encompasses a fabulous eat-in kitchen –check out the range hood covered in Venetian plaster – an elegantly understated dining room and a comfortable, family-friendly great room, it also has adjacent outdoor living space accessible through panoramic 16-foot sliding glass doors, as well.

And in case the future owners of the house are concerned that the furry, four-legged members of the household feel at home, in a quiet corner of the main level laundry room near the kitchen is a built-in pet crate, made comfy with a custom cushion that coordinates with the wallpaper.

Upstairs and downstairs, the Inspiration Home affords plenty of room for family members or guests to spread out, relax and enjoy life. The upstairs loft and nearby bonus room are perfect spots for playing a board game, working a jigsaw puzzle or just having a quiet visit with friends. For

rowdier gatherings, the downstairs den can accommodate ballgame watchers, video game players and golfers treating themselves to a round on the golf simulator.

But for all the new ideas you’ll find in the Inspiration Home, you might also be inspired to revert to some old favorites. Anyone who loved the heyday of wallpaper and shades of blue in upholstery and home accessories during the 1980s and 90s will enjoy seeing those trends adapted to 21st century tastes.

Homewood Carpet & Flooring Is Now Shunnarah Flooring

Hey, everyone, Foo Shunnarah here! I want to share some awesome news with you.

I started Homewood Carpet & Flooring 17 years ago. Throughout those 17 years, my company has experienced tremendous growth here in Homewood. We are incredibly thankful for this community’s support and love that has allowed us to grow to the point of serving all of Greater Birmingham, and beyond. This growth is part of why I have a huge announcement to make: Homewood Carpet & Flooring is now Shunnarah Flooring!

We’re changing our name to get back to our roots: Family. So just a little background, my family, the Shunnarahs, came from a little city called Ramallah, just north of Jerusalem. This is where it all started. Born in Ramallah, my parents Fuad and Samira Shunnarah moved to the states - the rest is history. You’ve probably heard our name around Birmingham, and beyond. All of the hard work, loyalty, and love, I owe to my parents. My dad started young, working hard to start and support his family. My father, his siblings, and their cousins, worked hard and our family grew here in Birmingham and beyond. His values and ethics are ingrained in me and inspired me to start this business.

To me, being a Shunnarah means: rich in heart, rich in mind, rich in loyalty. I aspire to bring all of these values into my business. Shunnarah Flooring stands apart from other flooring companies because we represent family, we represent hard work, loyalty, honesty, and passionately going above and beyond in everything we do, each and every day.

With these core values in mind, our mission is clear as we eagerly continue to grow Shunnarah Flooring and serve our customers here in Homewood, Birmingham, and beyond. Thank you for being a part of our family!

Shunnarah Flooring is located at 813 Green Springs Hwy, Ste. 156, 205-518-6423.
