Designer Jimmy Stanton and his partner, Patrick Greco share an old country house that they bought three years ago in Madison, Georgia. Built in 1818, this home is the oldest brick structure in town and comes with a long history of owners, additions and mishaps, including a fire in the late 1960s. However, the positives triumph over the negatives when it has so many unique architectural features such as amazing ceiling heights, intricate mantels and a soaring 11-foot ceiling in the living room.
However, renovation has proven to be a labor of love. Among other fix-ups, major ones include rewiring the electrical system and overhauling the kitchen. The results? A classic and comfortable scheme that honors the home's splendid sense of history.
Charming and rustic with a 'collected over time' look, this inviting home is one of my all time favorites. I can absolutely see myself living in a home like this without changing anything. What about you? Do you love this home as much as I do?

It's beautiful, but not enough colour for me Jessie! But I think it would be a brilliant base where one could sneak in a little colour quite easily, without losing too much of the gentle, calm atmosphere which it certainly does have.
ReplyDeleteJessie you are so right I love that this home looks as if it took years of travels and collecting to become a flawless home full of texture and stories, Great post, sweetie,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI love every single piece in their house, very nicely collected! Love it x
ReplyDeleteI think I love everything about this house. It's absolutely stunning. It's classic and fun at the same time. The dinosaur sign is an unexpected accent.

Stunning home! I love all of the antique details and pieces and the pop of amber and warm woods you see throughout the entire home. So inviting and stylish.

ReplyDeleteHooly shhhhhhhhh...I'm with you! I LOVE it - so many things to ccomment on that I can't decide. I will say though, did anyone notice the cute little pup on the chair? What an amazing home. I love all the details, everything is so cleverly placed and chosen.

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful images! The leather chester sofa made my heat go pitter patter. Gorgeous with the art work and coffee table.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It is so hard to believe that the home was built in 1818! They have completely modernized it in such a beautiful way while still maintaining its roots!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessie, thank you for stopping by my blog post today!! Thank you also for the use of the botanicals en masse. For some reason Pinterest would not let me embed the images yesterday so I could not give direct credit to your blog. I apologize for that. I had to do an overall credit by directing to my Pinterest board. I hope it is a temporary issue, I love that we can credit the bloggers blog that we pin from. I hope you don't mind, xo Kathysue
