I am thrilled to share with you a very special cozy house tour. My design assistant, Cole, has let us do a tour of her remarkably beautiful home. This is a 1940’s classic southern home right off of the square of Murfreesboro and it is just bursting with charm and elegance!
Cozy House Tour
The first thing I notice about Cole’s house is her stunning front porch. She says this was the most daunting and time consuming project they tackled, but was well worth it! Wouldn’t you love to enjoy a cup of coffee out there?
They replaced almost everything on her front porch, but still managed to keep the character of the home. Everything was originally plastic and vinyl; they replaced it with wood and a gorgeous haint blue ceiling. In addition to the wood and ceiling, they replaced the front siding and trimmed out the windows and the door. It certainly makes a beautiful and welcoming first impression!
Living Room
The first room I enter is her living room. There is a reason I called her home the Cozy House! In every room you are greeted with warmth and charm.
They had no idea this fireplace existed when they purchased their home- what an amazing find! Her husband, Nick, was in the basement and noticed the brick. Furthermore, they removed the drywall and found this gorgeous original fireplace. She painted it and Nick made the corbels. Without a doubt, the warmth and texture it adds to the room is absolutely beautiful!
Kitchen and Dining Room
Next, I see her dining room and it absolutely takes my breath away. Nick made these mirrors that just fit the space perfectly!
The exposed brick is one of the first things I saw featured in Cole’s house on her Instagram. The wood just compliments the brick beautifully.
Cole has a simple buffet with two buffet lamps on top. She painted this painting herself- how talented is this couple?!
Their first kitchen project was painting the cabinets. They were a bright yellow that she painted with Annie Sloane chalk paint called French Linen.
Next, they started on the backsplash. They put up subway tile, but it felt much too modern and did not fit the character of the rest of the house. So, they replaced it with bead board. I never would have thought of using bead board but it works perfectly in their classic, Southern home!
In addition to painting the cabinets, Cole added this gorgeous glass cabinet that gave the room depth and interest. Everything is just styled beautifully!
Nursery
The next stop on her Cozy House Tour is the nursery. Just like the rest of her home, it is just happy and timeless. The paint color she used is Nimbus by Sherwin Williams- gorgeous!
Small Bathroom
After the nursery we see her guest bathroom. Her bathroom makeover is absolutely jaw-dropping! She completely transformed this bathroom on a budget.
You are going to want to check out her before photos and find out how she did this for pennies on the dollar. Click here to see her small bathroom makeover video! Her bathroom makeover is also featured here along with some other gorgeous transformations!
Office
Next, we go into her husband’s office upstairs. First of all, this is the tidiest office I have ever seen. I love the artwork she chose, the oversized frames are just perfect. They added this gorgeous trim on the walls that gave the space more character and texture.
Guest Bedroom
Finally, the last room I am sharing is her guest bedroom. It is so welcoming and cozy. Like most of the rooms in her home, every piece has meaning and sentiment. This gorgeous bed belonged to her grandparents and is a timeless treasure- as is her entire home.
Thank you to Cole for sharing her home with us!
