For the past few weeks many of you have asked for a House Crashing post with photos of the other six Homearama homes in the show. We slipped through and photographed each house, just like we did for a previous Homearama House Crash in 2012—so this post is image-heavy. Everyone who’s visited so far seems to have different favorites, which is part of the fun. There’s a “people’s choice” award visitors can vote for, and each house has a ballot box full of entries.
All the homes sit on a cul-de-sac and are numbered, so we’ll start logically with House #1, built and designed by LeGault Homes.
This is perhaps the most luxuriously decorated home in the show, featuring standout cabinetry and a clever kitchen layout with double islands—one with a standard sink and one with a prep sink that can double as an ice or drink station during gatherings. Notice the coordinating dark, mirrored cabinets visible through the doorway into the mudroom.
The living room includes a double-sided fireplace with a cozy seating area behind it.
Upstairs, sliding barn doors give the illusion of metal trim, but on closer inspection the gray “steel” finish is painted wood—an effective, more affordable look.
The main bedroom had beautiful natural light and a light, upscale furnishing palette.
A common trend in several homes was a walk-through closet accessed through the main bathroom. This home’s closet was one of the most upgraded: spacious, well-cabineted, and even equipped with a drink station/coffee bar and a mini fridge.
This house is the only one in the show with a basement, and they used part of that space for a wine cellar. The stacked shelving at the far end is made from pallets and expands bottle storage.
Next, we’ll skip House #2 (that’s ours) and move to House #3, built by Southern Traditions and designed by Elaine Reeder. From the outside it features pretty stone accents, tin awnings, and white rain chains, all of which we’d admired from afar before getting a chance to peek inside.
This home mixes materials in interesting ways. A passage between the foyer and living room combines a rustic wood ceiling with a stone wall water feature for a striking transition.
The main living area is open with a two-story ceiling and rustic wood carried into the coffered ceiling above.
Downstairs, the half bath makes a bold statement with graphic bird wallpaper over wainscoting and a local Richmond hand towel for a personal touch.
The en-suite bathroom features a sunken tub, a unique element not often seen in modern builds.
Upstairs the playroom was turned into a sleepover room with two pairs of built-in bunk beds. The builder’s carpenter crafted them from scratch, including hidden drawers in the steps—an inspiring take on bonus-room design.
House #4, by Ray A. Williams Custom Homes, brought strong dark exterior trim to the lineup, a look we’ve admired in other nearby homes as well.
The kitchen is one of those spaces that feels radiant when the lights go on—bright, welcoming, and detailed. Sherry was also taken with quirky silver monkey accents on a shelf.
Details included metal straps on the range hood and mesh on some of the glass cabinet doors, adding texture and character.
The bathrooms leaned modern, with small mosaic accent tile and sleek glass shower doors.
Decorative ceilings were a recurring architectural theme, including paneled ceilings in bedroom spaces.
House #5, built by Harring Construction and designed by Diana Ragsdale, was one of our favorites last year and again impressed this time around.
The main bedroom showcases a vaulted ceiling with a stunning gold chandelier, and gold details are continued in the en-suite fixtures. The bathroom even fits a large wooden wardrobe comfortably.
The mudroom offers thoughtful built-ins and rustic touches like bench fabric made from old grain sacks and reclaimed wood backing sourced from a North Carolina barn.
That reclaimed wood continues upstairs to accent a desk nook carved out of a hallway and the back of a built-in bookcase.
In a boys’ room, a bookshelf doubles as a secret doorway leading to a tucked-away TV and video game room—an absolute dream space for teens.
House #6, built by Falcone Custom Homes and designed by Catherine Stanley, is one of the largest and is commonly referred to as “the one with the pool.”
The kitchen includes separate fridge and freezer units, a 100-bottle wine rack, and impressive ceiling beam details.
The en-suite bath/shower area alone is enormous—about 600 square feet—with an infinity tub, rain showerhead, and body spray jets. To show scale we included one of our trademark “John for scale” shots.
Outside, the pool and surrounding area feature a variety of outdoor amenities, including a combined water-and-fire feature. (We weren’t able to get the fire element lit during our visit.)
Finally, House #7, built by LifeStyle Builders and designed by Priscilla George, shares a few design decisions with our own house—both chose blue exterior paint, though theirs is a lighter shade paired with more stone and darker roofline trim.
This home features a navy kitchen island with distinct leg details and a glass-front end cabinet, plus accent tile above the stove and a stainless range hood with chrome pendant lights.
They included an L-shaped built-in banquette along with chairs and cheerful teal-backed bookshelves that add warmth and personality.
The en-suite bathroom has a dual-shower design with two distinct zones—one side offers a traditional and rain showerhead, and the other includes a bench and handheld shower for a varied experience.
Upstairs the bonus room went bold, painted with dark trim and built-ins to create a cozy media space.
Each bedroom has its own distinct style. One room features a vintage flag displayed against grasscloth wallpaper—a combination that stood out and felt personal and layered.
That wraps up our tour of the other six Homearama homes—more than 30 photos later. There’s even more to see in person if you can make it out, but we hope this gives you a solid sense of the variety and details on display. If you have specific source questions about paint colors, furniture, or materials, ask away—we’ll pass along answers when we can. The Homearama team is busy with the show this weekend, so responses may take a bit, but we’re hoping to share additional info as it becomes available.
