Something I've been thinking about for quite some time is doing little features on the homes of some of my friends! I love seeing other people's decorating styles, and I know so many women who just have fabulous homes!
First up, the home of my Mom's friend Chris! I grew up with her daughters and have spent a lot of time in their home. I have always admired her effortlessly elegant style! Their home is on a lake, so it has a cottage/beachy/elegant vibe.
The first room you see when you walk in is their breakfast/informal dining room.
Here, the table is set for our 4th of July feast! Chris' husband Jay actually MADE this table. I have always loved it, it is so gorgeous!
In another corner they have an antique icebox. Love!
Their formal dining room is also amazing:
I love the green walls with the dark wood- it looks elegant and yet not fussy! I also really wanted to steal this vase.
And the dining room from another angle:
There's a beautiful front porch as well, separated by some french doors.
And here's a view of the brick fireplace and living room. I love how they use a lot of antiques and antique replicas to stay true to the vintage style of the home.
And finally, a view of the entire living/dining area.
Don't you just love their home? I am so impressed by the way they designed it. Their house feels so homey and yet elegant at the same time! I can definitely say that Chris is one of the people who inspired me to love home design. Thanks for letting me share some of your beautiful home, Chris!
You're right! It is a beautiful home. it feels peaceful and welcoming. I also love the antique icebox! It's amazing!!
