The chandelier makes for a beautiful focal point in the breakfast room and contrasts nicely with Kendall Charcoal (Benjamin Moore) walls. Distressed wood furniture reflects the comfort of the room while accessories maintain elegance in the space.

5. MASTER BEDROOM (above, right)

Neutral walls and flooring allow color to play out in furniture and accessories. A bold purple hue in the bedframe and shades of green in the pillows add liveliness while also accentuating the dramatic painting.

7. & 8. FAMILY ROOM (above)

A natural color palette lightens up the sophisticated family room, making it a welcoming space for guests. A mixture of casual and formal textures in the furniture and accessories keeps the room both beautiful and liveable.

9. MASTER PORCH

Accents of blue unify furniture pieces in the spacious porch. Floor-to-ceiling curtains allow for privacy without hindering the elegance of this Southern staple.

10. FORMAL LIVING ROOM (above, left)

A combination of velvet and silk brings a softness to the formal pieces in this space. The small tray table serves as a coffee table, in keeping with the more delicate appeal of the room.

11. FAMILY PORCH (above, right)

Fashionable, functional seating perfectly suits this family gathering spot. Unique side tables and a bold rug add an element of whimsy to the space that seems to draw guests in for lively get-togethers, while deep-seated cushions and comfortable throw pillows suggest quiet afternoons for napping and reading.
