Atlanta, GA – May 18, 2010, Southern Living magazine has been highlighting unique off-the-beaten path southern towns for decades. For more than 20 years, Southern Living has built its Idea Houses on the lake, on the beach and in town to cover the many interests of its more than 16 million readers. Enter Senoia, a small Georgia town with family-oriented, walk-able communities and a lifestyle committed to simple, yet modern living. The charm of Senoia has been the backdrop for more than 24 film and television productions over the last 20 years, including “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “Sweet Home Alabama.”The owners of Riverwood Studios, Inc. located in the heart of Senoia, are also the developers of The Gin Property, home of the Idea House.

By the time this year is over, people will know where Senoia, Georgia is on the map,” said Dorrie Marsh.The home in Senoia will be the first ever Southern Living brownstone project.
