Southern Living Cottage Model Home Tour

Have I shared with you what a magazine junkie I am?  The same is true for home tours!!!!  Luckily Mr. OSH loves them as well.  We went Friday afternoon to this home tour by a local builder in a new Greenville, SC subdivision.

It was a mini Mother's Day middle of the day date!

show_home_18.jpg

I have always been drawn to cottage styled homes.  The Dillard-Jones Co. in Greenville, SC is a member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program.  They even have a sister company called The Cottage Group.

I really liked this house.  It has a great open plan with lots of usable space!  I wasn't as crazy about the neighborhood.  The houses are really on top of each other, but this is coming from a country gal living on a little over 12 acres!

Did you notice the pale blue porch ceilings?  Here is a closer look!  I love blue porch ceilings!

I wasn't sure if photography was allowed……I never saw a “NO” sign so I clicked away with my IPhone 5.  Sorry the pics are not of better quality!  I didn't want to over stay my welcome with a regular camera!

SL-show-home

I loved everything about the master suite!  The bed was incredible!  I enjoyed the clever use of the bedside tables as old Singer sewing machine tables!  They looked like an identical pair!!!

SL-home-tour

The corner of the master had this lovely sitting area.  The shutter/door piece is to die for!!!

sl-home-tour

This is the cozy family room.  It is open to the kitchen and dining area.  I really like the walls.  They really looked like a type of cement board, but not really sure.  Each board has a bit of space between them.  I'm not sure how I would like it over time, but today it is fab!

sl-home-tour

Here is a close up of the bench in the family room.  I have a major crush on the owl pillow.  Several owl pillows were used in the house!

Beautiful kitchen!  The pendant lights were amazing!

There is also a room at the front of the house used as a home office or could be a formal dining room.  I didn't photograph it because there were too many people in there.  I guess I could have asked them to step out for a few.

Lovely bath

There was also a nice pantry, mudroom, laundry room and garage on the main floor before heading up this fabulous cottage staircase.

Upstairs you will find two bedroom, two baths and a wonderful media room!

The media room is very spacious!

The room is beautiful and airy!  I probably would not use teak furniture with hard lines in a room like this.  I'd prefer softer lines for extreme lounging!!!  A lovely look nonetheless!

You know I love screened porches!  This home has a very nice sized one!

Here is the information sign outside the house.

The website for the builder is on the sign if you are local and would like to tour.  The tour is free, but they accept donations to the Children's Hospital.  Hurry!  It ends soon!  It is a cheap date!!  My daughter was so disappointed that we went without her.  She has the home tour bug as well.  

I hope you have a beautiful day!  Thanks for stopping by.  I'd love for you to follow along.  Some recent posts you may like are:

    I would love to know the paint color of those porch ceilings! We are having our’s painted this weekend and I am trying a million shades of blue to find the right one.

      This was a home tour that we went on. I don’t have those colors anymore. I’d search on Pinterest for blue porch ceiling colors. I’m sure your local Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams could suggest a celing color.

    This house looks lovely. I love a light blue painted ceiling. I agree completely about the choice of furniture in the media room. I personally think dedicated media rooms are passé. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer.
