Home Bunch - Interior Design Ideas

 

Hello, my friends! How are you today? I certainly hope this brick cottage brings you some joy!

Recently built by Gerrard Builders Hillside House and with interiors by Shannon Bowman Interiors and Carolina Design Associates, this cottage is truly a dream home! In my opinion, it is the perfect size and features interiors and an exterior that will overcome any trends. You can look at this home in ten years and you will think it was just designed.

Here, the interior designer Shannon Bowman, whom I am very thankful for for sharing all the sources below, explains more about the style of this home: “Cozy and Cottage Chic was our goal, however keeping a light and airy pallet almost gives it a coastal vibe. We wanted to keep the charm of the original architecture and blend it with a newer farmhouse/cottage design.”

Find a comfy chair and pin your favorite pictures of this cottage with painted exterior. I hope you have a great time!

Kitchen

“The kitchen cabinets were built by Hardwood Creations in Charlotte, NC. They are paint grade flush inset frames with a recessed panel cabinet doors. The door style includes an interior bead for interest and detail. The smaller top drawers have an outer bead on a slab drawer front to keep the style consistent. We added a decorative and profiled light rail at the base of the upper cabinets to add one more layer of dimension and help hide the under-cabinet lights. The cabinet hood matches the profile of the cabinet doors in one large recessed panel and includes beaded/cove moldings below to create a low-profile mantel design. The cove corbels that attach the hood to the wall are 3” wide and line up with the overall frame of the hood above. The cabinet base includes a furniture style “proud” base with a decorative cove valance cut out.” – Shannon Bowman.

    Hi! This cottage is beautiful! Do you know what the shingle color and brand name are? Thanks for all the info!

  2. Hi Tera,

    I don’t have this information but feel free to contact the builder.

    Thank you!

  3. Tracy said,

    Can I just tell you how thankful I am for your intricate details on your posts?! We are in the process of a new build. I’m constantly looking for certain stain colors and know how different woods accept stain completely different. You’ve always been my main source for everything with your willingness to share! So many people just call it “custom formula” and I can truly understand that restrictiveness. I do. Frustrating, too, but I am just appreciative for your clarity and attention to detail when those items are available in your posts. THANK YOU!!

  4. Hi Tracy,

    Your comment really touched my heart. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Most people don’t know how long it takes for me to prepare each and every post, so this means a lot. I want to give the best I can give to my readers and I want to share the type of information I always wanted to know for myself but could never find anywhere. This is the reason I have created this blog.
    Knowing that I am helping people like yourself, makes me feel that I am on the right path.

    Thank you!

    Hi Luciano, what an amazing cottage! The floors are gorgeous and exactly what we are looking for. Would you be able to share what % blend you used of dark walnut/weathered oak?
    Thank you!

  6. Hi Tyler,

    Thank you so much for your comment.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have further details on the flooring stain color. Try to contact the designer or the builder. They should be able to share this with you.

    Thank you again.

    Sorry, Luciane (autocorrect )

  8. Maurice said,

    Dumb question, but when you say you cut the gray paint by 1/2, is the paint simply being diluted with water?
    Btw, I love the way the house looks that you have gone into detail about all the changes you made!! I wish others would do the same!!

  9. Hi Maurice,

    In this case, the 1/2 strength means that the paint store adds 1/2 of the pigments they were supposed to add, so the color becomes lighter.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi! I am painting my home SW Natural Choice, and this home was my inspo! When we received paint for our windows, we did the agreeable gray at 50% and it doesn’t have the contrast that this hole does— it’s very, very light. Do you have any idea why that might be!?

  11. Kelsie said,

    So sorry/- autocorrect!!

    Doesn’t have a contrast that this house does**

    Beautiful home and I so appreciate all your attention to detail! I have spent hours trying to find the right color combinations and really appreciate your time in putting this all together!!

  12. Hi Kelsie,

    Thank you so much for your comment and I am happy this home has inspired you. I received all of the information shared by the builder and interior designer, therefore I am sure they are correct, but I would contact the builder to clarify if they have the same contrast in person. I know that sometimes some monitors can change the result of the paint color we see and some photographers sometimes can use filters when editing the images. Having said that, I do feel that these are the true colors. I tend to be very careful with that and only feature spaces that I believe that are true to that.

    Thanks again,

    Luciane
