And now….
This is a home tour from the archives (2 years ago!), but I had to show you something funny at the end!
Happy, Happy Home Tour Friday to ya!
Today we’re heading to Lake Gatson, Virginia, a gorgeous lake that sits right along the North Carolina/Virginia border.
Why am I suddenly hungry for Gingerbread?
Never mind.
This is the delicious second home of one lucky couple. Isn’t she beautiful?
The wood, the stone, the openness, the big double doors – I’m home.
The Lodge Room, with its vaulted greatness, opens directly to the deck and stunning views of the lake.
The heart and soul of the home – the kitchen. This one is a stunner. Love the floors.
Another look. Also love the tiled mosaic backsplash.
My favorite part of any home is when the kitchen opens directly into the family room, so it makes essentially one big room.
Love the coffered ceiling, the built-ins, the giant flatscreen, the comfy couches, the colors. I think this room is perfect.
The game room in the lower level. I don’t even know where to start.
Gorgeous view, and please notice that two-level dock. I’ve never seen anything like it and I’m thinking brilliant.
His and Her showers. And if that art doesn’t get you singing a snappy tune… (or keep singing in my case)
Stunning tile work.
And because you understand my thing for bunk rooms, I had to save it for last.
Happy, happy room. Perhaps it’s because I imagine all the giggling…
Anyway, many thanks to the following team for creating all this beauty:
Interior Design:
Vicky Serany, Southern Studio Interior Design
Builder/Contractor:
Sid Cutts, Corbitt Hills Construction
Photograhy:
Jennings Mitchell phone 252.792.6690
Okay, remember those Beatles inspired art in the Master Bath?
I treated myself for my Birthday (happy birthday to me wayy back in Sept) and thought they looked familiar!
For better or worse, I can not leave the bathroom without singing that song!
Happy Weekend to each and all!

on November 7, 2009 7:22 amAsked the designer about the floors and she said:
“Reclaimed oak in 8″ and 10″ random widths with saw marks
Finished with a clear water based sealer
Since it’s reclaimed, and then has added saw marks, it has lots of character.”
They are gorgeous!

on November 9, 2009 11:27 amThere is so much to love here. Photography usually doesn’t do most homes justice unless they are truly great as this is. Its a perfectly done but I do like the lit niches in the bunk beds. When you have varying kid types in one room at bedtime it will show its value

on November 9, 2009 12:07 pmWow! The views from those gorgeous rooms of the lake must be amazing! The bunk beds, combine that with the play room from a few weks ago and you have my dream kids suite… Poppa might be a little busy the next time he visits us. :0)
