tracee ribar's take on cool home stuff

BIA Parade of Homes 2010 August 3, 2010

Don’t forget to go see what’s hot in home design at the BIA Parade of Homes in Ackerley Park in New Albany, through August 8. Of course, you gotta like the Georgian…but the location of the development is good, walkable to the library, Rusty Bucket, Starbucks, CVS. All that the strip along Market Street has to offer. Lots of bikable options too. One of the best locations for a Parade development I have seen in recent years.

Tickets are $12 ($2 off if purchased in advance at any Union Savings Bank) hours are:

Monday-Thursday: 12pm-9
Friday and Saturday: 10am-9pm
Sunday: 10am-6pm

No admittance 1 hour prior to closing

PLEASE don’t neglect to see the house by builder Kevin Knight and Company, I believe it is number 4. As in last year’s Parade home he built, some reused materials (flooring) and attention to green elements, including a partial “live roof”. “The House as Retreat” is his raison d’etre . Overly dramatic maybe, but his website does say that as his “motto”–the retreat part. I love everything he does, could retreat all up in that house, furnishings, wine cellar and all. Sigh.
