Historical Delaney Park Home

Historic Florida Lakefront

Opera Gala Guild Designer's Showcase
Location: Winter Park

The 6,200-square foot Holt-Mumby House was built in 1922 and acquired in 1932 by Rollins College. It had served as a home for the college’s president, as well as a residence hall, sorority house, museum of art and chancellor’s office. The 2-story, lakefront home featured expansive verandahs, a gazebo and pool area. The designer’s challenge was to take this 2nd floor vast space with a low ceiling and create a master bedroom/sitting room suite. Wrapping the wall with an angle of sheer drapery where the bed was placed and adding zoological and far Eastern touches gave it a Eurasian ambiance.

Opera Gala Guild Designer's Showcase
Location: Orlando

For this Opera Gala Showhouse, the Carolyn Franklin team was inspired by the style of artist Botera.  "The Picnic" inspiration provided the impetus for the design. 

Saturated color; red, yellow, and green with rusticated furnishings evokes the sense of warmth, comfort, and fun.  The challenge was that the breakfast room was a passageway - the design "made you look" and expanded your vision.
