southern accents showcase house

welcome to the southern accents 
2002 showcase house
in highlands north carolina....

not only is the house a stunner on the outside,

but the inside is completely fabulous as well.

i really like this porte cochere/breezeway that is

created as the main house connects to the gargage.

yep. this is the garage!

it had an apartmant above it, which sadly

was not part of the tour.

i love the large, rustic 

stones in the entry.

and those columns are gorgeous!

the view from the back of the house...

i know.

hard to look at.

i *love copper gutters!

the interior designer was phillips sides, 

who is based out of montgomery alabama 

although this house was designed over 7 years ago, 

i think you will agree with me that phillip sides

did a remarlable job of creating a timeless interior!

i felt a little sneaky taking pictures, 

so some of them aren't the best...

this is a shot standing in the great room, looking towards the

front entry.

oooo...a portiere disguising the wet bar!

me likey.

the kitchen.

wish i had more pictures...

i really liked how this rough, rustic beam was used 

as a mantle.

the laundry room.
the soft blue color is really soothing.

kitchen.

arent these doors fabulous!?

i was really intrigued by the duplicate

mirrors, stacked on one another...

the powder room off the foyer featured

wallaper, cut in strips, and applied

horizontally.

love the way the pictures are hung!

the downstairs family room.

notice the sisal rugs?

this room has such a soothing color palette.

a guest bath.

the master bath.

love the mix of the creamy yeallow tile and

emperador dark marble.

another gorgeous bath with

stunning tile.

the mix of the blue and the creamy
tones of the stone are beautiful.

this was the half bath near the

laundry area..love the "crown molding"

made of tile.

the upstairs game room.
this was one of the first times i had ever
seen a drum shade chandelier.

love this treatment over the bed...

and isn't the lighting interesting?

one of the outdoor spaces.

the definition of rugged beauty!

check out that handrail!
the entire house, and the setting were spectacular.
the last i heard, this house was for sale
for 3.4 million.
just think...it could be yours!
