For the 2016 Indianapolis Home Show, Fischer Homes is again debuting an all-new home design for this year’s Centerpiece Home: the Allerton. It is built entirely inside Exposition Hall at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

What’s this majestic 4,010-square-foot home look like as its coming together? Check out these photos!


A European Romantic elevation with soaring rooflines and a painted brick exterior, the Allerton boasts four bedrooms and 3½ baths spread across a majestic 4,010 square feet. It features an expansive great room and adjoining kitchen, ground floor study, formal dining room and family gathering room. The second floor master suite, including spa-like bathroom and large walk-in closet with adjoining laundry, is accompanied by two child bedrooms, boy and girl, and a guest room.

“With its eye-pleasing mix of form and function, the Allerton is sure to inspire Home Show attendees,” said Indianapolis Market President for Fischer Homes Brad Kriner. “We invite everyone to come to the show and see how Fischer Homes is working to give people the opportunity to create their dream home.”

There’s less than two weeks until Thanksgiving – are you ready? You may have your menu planned, but that’s not the only important thing that goes on your table. This year set your tables to stun with some simple ideas that are sure to compliment every feast. Check out some of our favorite tablescapes below and get ready to wow friends and family on the 26th

All That Glitters is Gold – Traditional pumpkins and pine cones with a fabulous touch of luxury. We love the effortlessness of this look. It’s easy to recreate and will have a big impact on your table.


Bring the Outdoors In – Bright greens, fragile florals, and a hint of copper make for an excellent combination. Though there are some bold pinks and reds, this mix is fairly subtle and a lovely one to try this Thanksgiving.

Keep it Subtle - If you think gold is more gaudy than gorgeous, this centerpiece will be right up your alley. We’re fans of the burlap table runner and simple mix of earthy colors. This is the perfect setting for a rustic Thanksgiving.

Gourd-geous Vases – Simply put, we are in love with these vases! They’d make a fabulous addition to any table (Thanksgiving or not). The rich oranges, greens, and purples play off each other so nicely, and using a gourd as a vase is such a fantastically creative DIY – we can’t get over it. 


Food for Thought – Why not incorporate some of your Thanksgiving dinner ingredients into your centerpiece? As you can see, artichokes, beans, and asparagus make lovely candle holders!


Rich & Rustic – We’ve got a penchant for plaid, and we’re not afraid to show it! The eucalyptus, walnuts and pine corn create a fantastic rustic scene. All it needs is some turkey!

We hope these ideas help inspire you to create a beautiful table this year. We’d love to see your Thanksgiving tablescapes. Share your best shots with @HomeShows on Instagram and Twitter – we love to see how you celebrate!

Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arranging. This technique uses simplicity to maximize the overall look of the arrangement. Walking the line between traditional and contemporary, these rare creations transform unique flowers into artistic displays.


In 1927, Sofu Teshigahara founded the Sogetsu School in Japan. He believed that Ikebana is a form of living sculpture and a reflection of the person who arranges it. In 1986, Mrs. Kita and a small group of students founded the Colorado Branch of Sogetsu. To this day the school still practices some of the traditional concepts, including asymmetry and open space and depth. Modern society appeals to this style or arranging because it favors creations without restraint, "free creation".


Now you can learn how to achieve this look in your home. The Sogetsu school of Ikebana will be doing a special demonstration this weekend at the Denver Home Show. We are so excited to have the Sogetsu School join us, as they raise interest and awareness to the art of Ikebana.

Join the Sogetsu School of Ikebana at the Denver Home Show, March 20-22 at the National Western Complex, and learn how to create your own masterpieces. Don't have tickets yet? Get 2-for-1 on Facebook.

Would you like to see what's in store for the dining room selections for the 2015 Indianapolis Home Show Centerpiece Home? The Touch of Class team has a first look!


Part of the "Modern Hill-Country" theme, home show attendees will be treated to a romantic feel with very dark walls and a ceiling covered in distressed linen-colored tiles.


For the decor, the design team is using an amazing key chandelier that is imaginative and full of drama. The Irving chandelier features a wrought-iron frame hand-finished in a burnished finish. Cast-zing keys are made to look vintage by way of hand-applied antique wash and are then carefully hung at varying heights from the chandelier.



And there will be no rectangle table when it comes to furniture! The home will have a dramatic 60" round table with natural linen chairs. Plus, a very unique feature to the Centerpiece Home Paxton floor plan from Fischer Homes will be two large built-in cabinets covered in reclaimed wood.


Are you interested in adding any of these items to your own home? You can! They will be available for purchase here! And don't forget to come see the finished product at the 2015 Indianapolis Home Show!

Stay tuned for more pieces being used in the Centerpiece Home at the Indianapolis Home Show! The show takes over the Indiana State Fairgrounds January 23 - February 1, 2015. Don't have tickets yet?

With November in full swing there’s one thing on the minds of Americans: turkey. There are just a few short weeks until Thanksgiving – are you ready? You might have your menu planned, your shopping list written, and your guests RSVP’d, but we doubt your table’s set. Finding the perfect centerpiece for your Thanksgiving dinner can be a tricky task. There are a lot of requirements to fill: size, style, and more.

Of the choices below, which would you seat friends and family around? Does one feel more festive than the other? Do you prefer Option A’s colorful theme? Or are you more partial to Option B’s simplicity? Which one makes you want to say all the things you’re thankful for?

Option A

Option B


Our Choice:


Although both centerpieces are beautiful, (you really can’t make a wrong choice in our opinion), we prefer Option A. One of the best things about fall is the colors. While there’s much to be said about subtlety, it’s hard to deny the rich reds, oranges, and greens featured in Option A.

Which would you rather have? What will your Thanksgiving table look like? Are you big on place settings or is the food really the main event? Let us know below!

Thanksgiving is where everyone comes together for a mixture warm fall flavors.  Why not make your table and cocktail decor more eclectic by placing glass, wooden, ceramic, and metallic elements all on one table.   

3. Opt For Non-Traditional Linen Colors
Pumpkin Pie
Purple or eggplant, dark green, grey, white, all are great table alternatives if you're looking to switch up the traditional thanksgiving look.

How to Make Pumpkin Candles for Thanksgiving
It's almost Thanksgiving, and today we're going to give you my quick guide on making adorable little pumpkin & flower candles. This idea is great for your table or home decor, however if you make them before Halloween, they would do well on your front porch too. The other good thing about this unique display is that the pumpkins last a very long time (about a month) if you keep them in a cool temperature!

Checkout the simple tutorial below...
