Last month’s Country Living magazine featured a gorgeous, comfy casual North Caroline lake house. I came across the images on their site and just had to share, it’s one of my very favorite home tours ever…Emily’s style is amazing- I love it ALL!
Apparently, this kitchen update cost just $31 (all for paint and supplies)…and check out the floors-to save money on flooring, the couple painted the plywood subflooring, and added a jute rug for comfort.
Emily’s husband built this Restoration Hardware-esque table, for $11! A-mazing!
The furniture in the living room is a combination of Craig’s List and thrifting finds…talk about an eye for style!
This Target lampshade gets gussied up with some decoupaged book pages.
Painted brass numbers from Home Depot add charm and color to the stairs.
Salvedged yard sale doors are used to create a sliding barn style entrance to the home office.
LOVE these farmhouse-style planters-I have several myself that I use to hold candles and dishes!
What do y’all say? Love this home as much as I do? What’s your favorite part? Personally, I love the look of the painted subfloor with the jute rugs!


























Wow! I love those sliding doors for the office! Gorgeous! ~~AND~~that hand-built table is to *swoon* for!!!!!
Love this…what a beautiful space. The painted floors…the herb boxes…LOVE!!
Cheers

I want to live there! I’ve wanted sliding doors like that for a long time.
Anybody with a fat pocketbook can make a house look beautiful -it’s those that do it under budget constraints that I really fall in love with!
