Southern Living has launched its annual Idea House, continuing the magazine’s 30-plus year tradition. Thankfully open to the public this year, the 2021 Idea House sits on a prime waterfront lot in Prospect, Kentucky. Chairish Design Insider Sarah Bartholomew devised the interiors of the home, which includes five bedrooms, stunning views of the Ohio River, and plenty of porch space.
Visit Southern Living for more details and make your own plans to tour the Idea House before it closes on Sunday, December 19, 2021.
See the sophisticated spaces of the Kentucky home below, including a room that includes a console table sourced right here from Chairish.
