HOME OF MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM F. TAYLOR, 6512 Mauna Loa Place. Custom designed by well known Jackson, MS architects, this house has an exterior of French New Orleans ranch design. It features an open, light and spacious design with wide doorways and easy access throughout for home entertaining. The entrance foyer is of black marble, adjacent to it is the raised floor of a formal dining room which is set off by round white columns. The formal living room prominently displays family heirlooms of the Eastlake Victorian period. Of special interest is the free standing, see-through fireplace with built-in curio shelves which separates the living and family rooms. The master bedroom, breakfast area, family room and library all have extensive glass walls overlooking a 65’ bi-level wooden deck with a wide view of the golf course.
HOME OF MR. AND MRS. DONALD MARSHALL, 6616 Alii PI. The Marshalls varied interests and love of the unusual is evident in the decor of this sprawling Acadian home. The unique combination of boating and billiards is seen in the sunroom with handpainted pillows, lampshades and whimsical wall hangings. This room is obviously for having fun and is aptly called the “stressless” room. In contrast, the den, in deep reds and greens with richly paneled walls and persian rug is a cozy retreat from the Coast’s damp winter days. Other features include: black and white tile floors throughout the downstairs, Victorian oil paintings, a Clementine Hunter original and an antique oak canopy bed and triple armoire. DIAMONDHEAD COUNTRY CLUB - A special Dutch Treat luncheon buffet will be served at the Country Club from 11:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Reservations are NOT necessary.
HOME OF MR. AND MRS. EDDIE C. GOBERT - 88382 Diamondhead Dr., East - This contemporary home, designed and constructed by Mr. Gobert, was built with energy conservation in mind. The exterior of the home is clad with a highly efficient insulating and finish system. Alternating usage of two heating and cooling units maintain a comfortable environment. Ceiling fens throughout the home contribute to energy efficiency, as well as a masonry fireplace designed to feed warm air back into the sunken den. Built in units, custom made by Mr. Gobert, contribute to the beauty of this four bedroom house. Other unique features include Eastern white cedar ceilings in the family room and breakfast nook. Home to two children with active lifestyles, indoor and outdoor living is integrated through the use of two patios off the central activity center of the home.
CATHY McFAULL’S GARDEN, 7912 Maui Place. A wilderness of virgin woodland with oak, pine and scrub trees two years ago, this garden is now a pure delight. The natural egg shaped center has been outlined in monkey grass with shade loving plants radiating out from it. Using camelias, suchaas, gardenias, azaleas, blueberries, Indian Hawthorne, etc., Cathy has developed her plot according to Mother Nature’s terms (“whom it’s not nice to fool!”) The many gardens include tropical, semi-tropical and wild flowers all growing happily together. The front and side gardens carry out the same theme.
HOME OF PAUL AND CAROL ECKRICH, 7926 Apaki Place. This white stucco house is a combination of American Southwest and Mexican architecture. The Eckriches designed the house around a wall enclosed garden and patio. Of special note is the spacious master bedroom with its bee hive fireplace and the Italian Marble master bath. The living room area can be opened or separated by mahogany pocket doors. The floors are a combination of teak parquet and Mexican solito tile. Throughout the house are casement windows enclosed by mahogany shutters. The art, antiques and oriental rugs have gradually been acquired by the owners on their travels.
