For my last post of the Southern Living Idea House, I decided to show the outdoor spaces
which are my favorite.
While the interiors were beautiful, I think it definitely appealed to a certain segment
of the population, leaning more toward a very traditional yet updated style.
Which also lended to the feel of the area that the home was located.
I will start off with one of my favorite things that was outdoors in the breezeway between
the house and the garage.
The potting sink is made of Alberene Soapstone on a custom metal stand.
This porch area is just outside the dining room area.
This is the largest of the screen porch areas.
Has a great space to accommodate a large gathering.
This photo was taken from the master bedroom hallway window
looking onto the lower level open deck and the larger of the screened porches.
I think I could sit out here for hours at a time looking at this beautiful view from the deck
A rear view of the patio/deck that is situated between the two screened porches.
If you ask me what I love the best about this home,
I would say the great floor plan, architectural details and the most magnificent views.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Have a great weekend doing what you love.
Making your own kind of music and singing your own special song!
I have enjoyed this tour so much, Shirley. I appreciate your work on these posts. I love the soapstone sink! Gorgeous outdoor spaces!
I love the sink. The view is incredible and it is one of those houses I could easily bring my clothes and my pets and be content.
I sure DO agree, the house is gorgeous and the views are TDF!!! I would be sitting right there with you on that magnificent patio and when it got too hot we could sit on the screened porch!!! What a DREAM home. I think there is a tin roof, right? Joe always wanted one, I was just afraid it would be noisy in the rain:) LOVE the breezeway area. All the copper outdoor lighting is beautiful. I’ll have to check and see if you mentioned where it is from. I wonder if it is coated or will turn color. LOVE this home!!!!
Such a beautiful home and the views are amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
It’s all about the view!
Yes, Shirley, I would definitely agree! Love that potting sink…is that fabulous or what?! Those porches and deck! That view! Wow. I’ve been catching up this week since I was gone last week – this is definitely my favorite of the home tour. Hope you’re having a good week.
