DIAMONDHEAD
Saturday, March 9th 12:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Hostesses: Diamondhead Garden Club Chairman: Jerry Ingraham
1.	HEADQUARTERS, DIAMONDHEAD COMMUNITY CENTER, 5300 Diamondhead Circle. Stop here first to enjoy our Annual Standard Flower Show, pick up a map of the tour, and have refreshments. Before leaving, notice the atrium landscaping that was designed by Diamondhead Garden Club and is maintained by the Property Owners Association.
2.	THE HOME OF DELORES AND R.A. LOUVIER, 658 Hanauma Court. As you arrive, notice the palmetto branch imprints in the driveway. The double-leaded glass doors lead you into the foyer with its elephant-motif wallpaper. The open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the gardens. The Louvier's nephew built the coffered ceiling in the study. The master bedroom is done in toile and the two-tone ceiling is unique. Dolores antiqued the cabinets in the morning room and kitchen. Enjoy the view from the eight-foot kitchen window. Make the trek upstairs to discover the "secret room" built for the grandchildren.
3.	THE HOME OF DORIS AND GLEN NETHEREY, 97149 Kapalama Road. Guest will arrive under the porte-cochere at the front entrance. Enter the marble-floored foyer of this 8,000 square foot home through a sunburst, brass-cast door. The circular stairway leads to guest bedrooms that share an efficiency kitchen. The large sunken living room has a granite fireplace and is flanked by two plant filled atriums. Other features of the home include an exercise room, Doris' office, a hobby room, and a game room. Behind the home is a caretaker cottage.
4.	THE GARDENS OF MRS. NINA COTTON, 892 Kipapa Way. The beautiful gardens, designed and maintained by Nina, consist of four sections. In 1986 the gazebo was constructed with a stained glass window designed by Nina. In it she used colors to mirror those found in her surrounding flowerbeds. Her friendship garden was added in 1992. It consists of a circle of stepping stones, each with the name of an old friend engraved on it and the date that they first met. The bird village was begun in 1993. Each birdhouse has been custom made to copy the exact design of the home of family members. Also included are an LSU house with the names of Tiger friends and a USM house representing Nina's alma mater. Nina's latest section being developed features a stainless steel butterfly lawn chair. Flowers that attract butterflies have been planted. Friends have given her many unusual butterflies to add to her new garden room. As you stroll through this peaceful garden, partake of the refreshments provided in the gazebo by this charming Southern hostess.
5.	THE HOME OF COLONEL AND MRS. RUFFIN WALKER GRAY, USAF (retired), 6649 Ahekolo Circle.
When the Grays moved into this open floor plan home with twelve-foot ceilings, they added hardwood floors to showcase their antique furnishings. Fran, an interior designer, chose an eclectic style for her home and used designer prints and wallpaper throughout. In the living room are an antique, hand-carved Chinese chest and a lighted mahogany cabinet displaying china, porcelain and other old pieces. The front guest bedroom has a sleigh bed and the back bedroom has a high-back, hand-carved bed; each is over 150 years old. Notice the pie-shaped bedside table and the chamber table. The dining room boasts an 1890 marble-top washstand, an antique English tea service cart holding an old Heidelberg tea service, and an oak breakfront with a rose marble top. Chippendale chairs surround the hand-hewn cypress harvest table.
