Southern Living Idea House—Part 3

On to the finale of my tour!

Here I go again with the apologies… So sorry to have waited this long to post the finale! Still no time to blog these days.  I will make this post pretty quick as I desperately need to get back to studying for my medical transcription class.

My favorite room in the house in the basement family room. It was very warm and welcoming.

My husband and the boys LOVED the wall of cabinets which was actually a hidden kitchen. Did you all know that RED is my favorite color? My heart kind of skipped a beat when I stepped downstairs!

Check out the hidden dishwasher. NICE!

The informal table is great for family game nights or additional dinner seating.

I just had to show you how they used the same fabric for the stockings! See…they match the furniture.

On to the guest suite… Beautiful vintage looking wallpaper draws you in.

I fell in love with the chandelier and the mirror over the dresser. The chandelier seemed like a wooden material, and the wooden mirror almost reached the ceiling.

Notice how they used patterned fabric on top of patterned wallpaper? Very interesting!

More of the fabulous sconces that were used in every room, and a closeup of the wallpaper. Love the birds!

This is the guest bath, complete with walls covered in brown glass tiles. Very magazine-worthy! It was incredibly elegant, yet masculine.

You can see the shower in the mirror. It is also surrounded in the glass tiles. It was very warm and welcoming!

The potty room walls were even covered in tiles. Perfect for a house of three boys is what I’m thinking!

Every detail covered…

Moving out of the guest suite and down the hall to another bedroom…

Love how they continued to use artwork groupings throughout the home.

Let’s step into the other bedroom…This could be used as a reading room or additional bedroom. Notice the horizontal trim used on the walls. It really brings great texture and interest to the room. Not that the view of the mountains wasn’t interesting enough!

The first thing to catch my eye was the drum shade on the light fixture. It is hard to take in, but the drum had to be almost three feet in diameter! It was HUGE.

The window seat makes the most of the room with storage and additional seating.

The colors in this room are very vibrant and fun!

And of course, it had its own bathroom. The wood on the walls is the same wood used on the floors and ceilings in other rooms of the house. It was phenomenal in this bathroom!

The guys loved the walkway from the mud room out to the garage. Love the lighting set into the floor of the walkway.

Even the garage doors and carriage lights were just gorgeous!

Thank you for your patience on my tour of the Southern Living Idea House.

Now that I have finally finished this series, maybe I can start cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by!
