When I visited the 2015 Southern Living Idea House, I was trying to envision

if we could actually live on the first floor, as we yearn to downsize.

With a few tweaks here and there, it is definitely doable!

Especially the master bedroom suite. While it is smaller than ours now,

the layout and access to the outdoor spaces is really nice.

Just love the soft blues and browns in this room.

Notice the occasional table next to the chair. It is fabulous! It is by Bunny Willams Home.

To the left of the mantel is the french door that leads out to an intimate porch.

I love the fireplace in the room

I would definitely opt out for the space of a traditional dresser for this fireplace, would you?

The closet in the master is very large and would accommodate lots of clothes!

The chairs are also from the Bunny Williams Home Collection. (bunnywilliamshome.com)

Every room in the house had a beautiful view.

This hallway or loggia is off the end of the foyer which leads to the master bedroom suite.

To the left of the chair is a door that leads to the patio that is between two screened porches.

Great reflection of a painting in the mirror that is hanging in the loggia/hallway.

Off the loggia of the master bedroom suite are the closet and the master bath.

A fabulous closet and I love that the mirror reflects the beautiful painting in the bathroom.

Every mirror should have a beautiful reflection . . . even if it is just you! 🙂

The free standing tub is situated between the two vanities.

A beautiful table holds all many bath necessities. Table by bunnywilliamshome.com

The bath accessories are from the Southern Living collection sold at Dillards.

And since we are on a bit of a bathroom tour, here is the powder room

that is right by the door leading to the breezeway that connects the garage to the house.

A simple, yet elegant powder room.

Across from the powder room is the mud room area.

Now to complete the first floor tour, I shall take you for a tour of the living room.

It’s a beauty!

The furnishings and accessories are from many different vendors,

so if you have a question on any item in this room, leave me a comment.

This room is accessorized beautifully as Bunny Williams would naturally do.

As I have stated previously, there are magnificent views of the property from every room.

I shall leave you today with this spectacular view that I could look at all day.

Have a great day, enjoying your view!
