After passing through the double doors at the entry with their matching wreaths, past Santa and the white poinsettia in the foyer, the visitor is immediately struck by the openness of the combined family room-kitchen area which dominates the lake side of Jeff and Cari Traylor’s home at 4749 Carly Road near Lake Gilmer.
The home is the third to be described in The Gilmer Mirror of the homes on this year’s Twentieth Century Tour of Homes on Thursday, Dec. 3.
Tickets are on sale at $10 from any club member or at the Chamber of Commerce. The tours are from 3 to 6 p.m. that afternoon.
The other homes are the Ed and Debbie Williams’ home in Barton Springs Estates east of Gilmer, and Brian and Irma Williams at 1001 Dogwood in Gilmer.
Earlier, from 10 a.m. to noon, the club will have their annual bake sale at the First National Bank in Gilmer.
To the east of the Traylor house is the home of Rowdy Nutt, and to the west Kurt Traylor moved in over the Thanksgiving holidays. All three homes look on a pond, which is separate from Lake Gilmer itself.
With her busy schedule as an assistant principal for the third and fourth grades at Gilmer Elementary School and with her husband busy coaching the Buckeyes deep into the playoffs, Cari Traylor counted on a little help from her girl friends to get the decorations done so early in the season.
“Jeff brought things down from the attic,” Cari explained, “but I could not have done it without their help.”
While browns in various shades are common on the walls in the dining room, living room and master bedroom, creamy yellow unites the family room with the kitchen area.
Three large south windows flood the area with light. A couch and comfortable arm chairs surround a central table, which holds a red and green tree created out of Christmas tree balls.
Beside the television cabinet is the most traditional Christmas tree, the one with ornaments which the children have selected each year.
In the kitchen, the spacious granite counter top on the work island forms the division between kitchen and family room. White antiqued cabinets and stainless steel appliances further delineate this popular area of the home.
The dining room with its taupe walls and dark wooden floor has a warm ambiance where host and guests can enjoy the fellowship of a meal together. Plates with a snowman pattern and a triple tree in the corner add the holiday theme to this nook of the home.
The same taupe carries into the entry hall and the master bedroom. Two walnut deer rest on the wooden chest at the foot of the king-size bed. Rich dark wood cabinetry accents the tan, taupe and wine red décor.
The master bath is a symphony in white with a large white tub and a walk-in shower nestled side by side. A large tree of artificial greenery hangs over the tub to add a seasonal touch, and angels peak out of shelves.
Chocolate is the color which dominates the living room with its large fireplace, white mantel, and mirror. Stockings are hung by the mantel with care, while Christmas balls of red, antique gold and green peak out of the greenery.
On the coffee table, a bright red poinsettia and a bowl of balls add a touch of seasonal cheer.
A hanging of reds and green woven in a tapestry complement the slim, tall Christmas tree to complete theme.
Through the double doors connecting the family room and the game room and one enters the inner sanctum of the Traylor children. Greenery forms an arch over the door, while matching wreaths decorate the French doors.
Each has his or her separate room off the game room. The central room is dominated by the Buckeye Christmas tree with its orange decorations and the numerous photographs of the children in their activities through the years.
Jaci has her room distinctly different from her brothers with the lime and pink décor and the fluffy pink tree.
Jake Traylor is keeping up with the Buckeyes on his backboard wainscoting, while Jordan’s room immediately proclaims his accomplishments in his favorite sports.
Spaciousness and comfort come to mind when reflecting on the Traylor home, the third of this season’s tour homes.
