Hello! How are you today? I really hope you had a great weekend and had some time to take care of yourself and could re-charge your energy for this brand new week. We had a “cozy winter weekend”, aka: stayed at home and watched the snow falling. The only thing missing was some hot cocoa. How didn’t I think about that? Maybe I’ll leave that for the next weekend.
Today we’ll see a house that has a very appealing simple, yet classic charm. Architects Smith & Vansant recreated this stunning home, but it wasn’t without facing many challenges. They had to renovate the existent building, add a garage and more space for the owners without compromise on the original architectural details and bring them to the new parts of the house. The owner’s priory was to improve the indoor-outdoor flow, use any nook and crannies for storage, create inviting outdoor space where they could spend many hours during summer and also integrate her beautiful collection of antique tiles, lighting, hardware and books.
I look at this house and see that a beautiful space is never created overnight. You need time to find yourself in the beauty of a well created home.
House
Everything was perfectly selected for this house.
Porch
This porch makes me miss summer afternoons. Notice the beautiful light fixtures.
Foyer
The foyer is also a cozy den. Great if you’re organized. Notice the charming door and windows.

The other side of the entrance. It keeps getting better and better…

The living room feels like a library. Lovely!

This farmhouse kitchen is a dream from top to bottom.
Yes, Pleeeease!
