(Greenville, SC: May 22, 2007) Postcard from Paris has been selected as the interior
design firm for the 2008 Southern Living Showhome, which will be located on the grounds of Furman University. Known as
the Cliffs Cottage at Furman, the showcase home will be environmentally sustainable,
highlighting the ability to design and build homes in an environmentally friendly
manner while preserving comfort, style, and quality. The home at Furman will
be Southern Living’s first LEED-certified “green” home.
“Our firm is honored to be a part of this extraordinary initiative led by Furman
University,” notes Linda McDougald of Postcard from Paris. “Southern Living is among the most well-respected home and garden magazines in the nation, and
being selected as the design firm for one of their renowned showhomes and one
that is located on the impeccable campus of Furman is a wonderful opportunity
not only for our firm but for all others involved.”

System is the “nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and
operation of high performance green buildings.”
