Country star Kenny Rogers considers himself quite the house fixer-upper. The Wall Street Journal reports that the house he recently put on the market in Atlanta is the 10th property he has fixed up and resold. Last summer we told you about his work with designer Jim Weinberg on an Atlanta show house. Rogers house is a different kind of show house. The six-bedroom home has 9,000 square feet of space. Rogers bought in 2006 for $2.8 million and reportedly spent another $3 million on the renovation. I could definitely think of better ways to spend $3 million. It's not that it's terrible in any way that I can put my finger on, it's just got that overblown and bland look that seems to pop up in the South a lot. The home has an African-themed guest room, which as Rogers says in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is something he likes to have in each of his homes Rogers seems pretty proud of the home and the design work saying that everything in the house is different from when he bought the house two years ago and that he "touched every inch" of the house.

The 1.5 acre estate includes a pool and spa and a three-car garage. It is listed at $7.95 million which includes all that furniture. But look out , Kenny, AOL Real Estate's home valuation tool puts it as being worth just over $2 million.

Rogers and his wife are also selling a nearby five acre lot for $2.9 million. The couple bought the land in 2007 for $2 million so their twin boys would have a place to play. The couple is moving to a 150-acre estate in Nicholson, Georgia.

The Pink Palace isn't pink any more but the mansion in Atlanta's Buckhead area retains the name from the time when it was pink. The mansion was built in 1926 for the Rhodes Furniture family and is a six-bedroom stucco Italian Baroque-style home on four acres at the corner of West Paces Ferry and Tuxedo roads. The home was designed by Atlanta architects Neel Reid and Philip Schutze and has huge public rooms designed for grand entertaining. The murals are absolutely dazzling. What makes this one even more interesting is the renovation. it has been remodeled so that it runs on geothermal energy (turning a $6500 a month energy bill into an apartment-sized $150). They removed 18 layers of lead paint from the doors, windows and walls and all doors and door frames were removed, made square, and put back in. The attic on top of the sun room and family room was changed turning the ceilings/roofs into floors. The servants quarters were transformed into larger living space. It's an odd mix, you have rooms that are typically old South, grand and ornate, but you also have light-filled modern spaces with clean lines. The graceful renovation made the home modern and sustainable but managed to maintain its original style in the original rooms. At $20 million it's the most expensive listing in Atlanta.
