For its 40th anniversary, the Symphony Volunteer Council’s Decorator’s ShowHouse is coming full circle. The featured home belonged to the McTyeire family, including Katherine McTyeire, who participated in the first Decorator’s ShowHouse.

“We’re real excited about this house,” said Nan Teninbaum, spokesperson for the showhouse. “It is quite a house.”

The showhouse serves as the Alabama Symphony Orchestra’s largest fundraiser of the year, Teninbaum said.

Decorators started work on the home in February, renovating the kitchen and master bathroom and repainting other rooms. There are 14 decorators working on the 7,500-square-foot home. 

“We have such a fabulous, special house for this occasion, and it just has such unbelievable, gorgeous details,” she said.

Teninbaum said she encourages people to visit the home because they can help the Alabama Symphony Orchestra while seeing work from top-notch designers and possibly get ideas for their own homes.

The home will be open from April 9 through April 24, with a sneak preview on April 7. Tickets will be available at stores throughout Mountain Brook and can be purchased for $15 before April 9. After April 9, tickets will cost $20. 

There is no parking available at the house, but visitors can park at Mountain Brook Presbyterian Church on Brookwood Road and take a shuttle to the home. The McTyeire Home is located at 4218 Old Leeds Road.
