2010 Kaleidoscope of Homes Extends Luxury Home Show for Record-Breaking Crowds
Southlake, TX (PRWEB) November 3, 2010
With beautiful fall weather and record-breaking crowds, officials at the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association (GFWBA) extended the 2010 Kaleidoscope of Homes luxury home show another week – stretching the opportunity to peek inside the four lush multi-million-dollar Southlake homes through Sunday, Nov. 7.
Drawing more than 20,000 people during the first three-weeks, the show was slated to conclude Oct. 31. “We pushed the date one week,” announced Carey Clarke, chairman of the Kaleidoscope committee. “The show opens 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday (Nov. 2 – 6) and from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday (Nov. 7).
“Over-the-top luxury, strong media coverage and enthusiastic word of mouth were the ingredients for success,” Clarke said in a joint announcement with Terra/Hat Creek Development, host of the event at Southlake’s upscale Shady Oaks community.
“Many people toured the homes more than once. There’s a lot to see with four estate-sized homes – authentic European architecture, stunning decor, unique lifestyle features and new technology.”
The homes have a combined total value of $ 12 million and were furnished with about $ 1.4 million total of furnishings, draperies and accessories, much of which sold in the traditional furniture and decor sale Nov. 1.
Scott Simmons, Simmons Estate Homes, won Best of Show and multiple other awards for his Spanish Colonial Casa Montecito at 704 Rochester Lane. Simmons, a degreed architect, partnered with Christopher Hough of Heritage Design Studio, on the 9,500-square-foot design offered for $ 3,299,000.
Shane Golden, Venetian Custom Homes, took Best Wine Room award for the glass-enclosed wine and cigar area in Il Nuovo Vecchi at 1016 Tennyson. He also partnered with Hough on the 7,500-square-foot home offered for $ 2,275,000. Golden won Best Kitchen for an expansive space open to interior and exterior living areas.
Bobby Harrell of Harrell Custom Homes received judges’ awards for unique features in his Tuscan and Old World Tudor designs by Jon Bolton of J. Bolton & Associates. Villa Siena at 1017 Whittington, a 7,189-square-foot Tuscan estate offered for $ 2,350,000, won Most Unique Feature for a bold herringbone hand-scraped wood floor. Brighton Manor at 1009 Whittington Place, a 7,307-square-foot English Tudor offered for $ 2,375,000, won a Most Unique Feature award for a hot tub with an infinity waterfall.

The location of the fictional Montecito has changed from season to season. Some of the first episodes were taped at the Mandalay Bay which is located south of the intersection of Tropicana and the Las Vegas Strip (next to Luxor)
Because of its similarity to Mandalay Bay, many of the show visuals place the Montecito at the far southern end of The Strip, albeit usually across the street from Mandalay Bay on the airport side of Las Vegas Boulevard. The exact location and rotation of the building seems to vary a lot within this area, indeed the CGI zoom shots of the building exterior in the season two episode, "Montecito Lancers", shows the building in three slightly differing locations for three different shots. In Season 5, the Montecito seems to have the consistent location across from Mandalay Bay.
Many of Mandalay Bay's interiors and exteriors (including its wave pool) have been used as Montecito exteriors, although (according to the Internet Movie Database) the actual set of Montecito is located at Culver Studios, in Culver City, California, so the interiors are a replica of the Mandalay Bay. These studios are where Gone With The Wind was filmed. The Season 3 set of Las Vegas has been said to be the biggest set for a TV show ever.
During the first season of the show, many of the Montecito's suites overlooked various parts of the middle part of the Strip, placing the hotel near where The Venetian, Flamingo Las Vegas, or The Mirage are currently, before the more consistent location at the southern end of the Strip was finalized.
During the first season, except for the pilot episode, the sets were built as needed for filming.
In Season 3, Ed Deline's office appears to be in the middle of the strip, overlooking Harrah's, Caesar's Palace, The Mirage, and The Venetian, which puts the Montecito near where Treasure Island is located. This is inconsistent with the flyover shots of the Montecito, which would place Ed's office over two miles away. Closer examination of the window scene shows that The Mirage's marquee over their driveway has been edited to read "Montecito". In season 4, episode 2 there is a scene in Ed Deline's office where again we can see an overview of The Mirage and Caesar's Palace. Again it's a confirmation that Ed Deline's office would be where Treasure Island is located.
According to an episode that originally aired in December 2005, the Montecito is located about 1.5 miles from Wynn Las Vegas. It's possible that this distance is in a straight line ("as the crow flies") as opposed to a reference to actual driving distance. This distance is inconsistent with long shots that place the Montecito near the airport and Mandalay Bay, but is in line with Season 3 visual references noted above.
Other episodes show aerial shots of the Montecito that make it appear to be situated at the corner of Giles St. and Reno Ave., about half a mile from Mandalay Bay
