The Armstrong Bradfield Parent’s Association (ABPA) celebrates an impressive 25 years of their beloved Home for the Holidays Home Tour. This year’s tour promises to be unlike any other with four fantastic homes that exemplify elegance in design across various architectural styles.
This parent-led organization has recruited some of its most dynamic members to lead the charge to ensure that the tour celebrates turning a quarter century with pomp and circumstance. This year’s chairs include Laura Price, Kelli Little, Lizzy Brauer, Lara Francis, Sara Thieke, and Meredith Connally.
“I feel so honored to serve on the home tour team because the money that we raise directly impacts our kids that attend our neighborhood schools,” co-chair Laura Price said. “I’m so thankful to our homeowners who are all graciously opening up their beautiful homes.”
Start the tour by enjoying an eclectic Tudor on the corner of St. Johns and Byron. Next dash over to Dartmouth to view a traditional home that has been reimagined and painstakingly curated by the homeowner herself. A Rheims retreat that is reminiscent of a classic east coast wood-frame home has a side yard that calls to you for a game of fetch with fido or a game of catch with your kids.
Last but certainly not least, a stunning renovation project also on Rheims by beloved designer Caitlin Wilson combines traditional Americana with refined British influences. In true Caitlin Wilson Design fashion, this property manages to be both historically grounded and bursting with rich textures, luxe materials, and a variety of vibrant colors.
This year’ 25th annual event is taking place on December 6, 2024, and tickets can be purchased *insert where tickets can be purchased* or online *here*. It is presented by Briggs Architecture & Design.
“The ABPA welcomed our family with open arms when we moved to the community and has since become a meaningful part of our lives,” co-chair Lizzy Brauer said. “We love how the organization brings neighbors together to support our sweet schools, and the Home Tour is the perfect way to celebrate our community's families and their beautiful homes.”
Since its inception, this volunteer organization has raised more than $1 million for the kindergarten and first grade classes at Armstrong & Bradfield elementary schools with its Homes for the Holidays Home Tour.
