You might wonder how I pick some houses to feature on “One Cool House”. The answer is simple: when I see a home that’s just my style, when I want to pin almost every single image, and I think to myself, “Yeah, I could live there.”
This one definitely fit the bill.
While I don’t love everything in this home (for example, the kitchen is way too modern for my taste), there are so many things to love, such as:
- the classic low country architecture;
- a wide and deep front porch with a swing perfect for napping;
- wood plank walls in the kitchen and living room;
- the open floor plan between the kitchen and living room and the plentiful windows;
- the bar stools, pendant lighting and industrial island in the kitchen;
- the tufted sofa, slipcovered chairs and barn doors in the living room;
- gorgeous natural light and table in the small dining room;
- the ample wine closet (although I’m not a drinker, I can certainly appreciate it);
- the wonderful outdoor bathroom; and
- the plain pea gravel path and the lush garden leading to back patio and a refreshing swimming pool.

The outdoor bathroom and porches with swings – yes! I’ll take it!

I came and pinned, and forgot to comment! Love the windows and the porch, but I’m with you – the inside is a tad modern for my taste. A little modern goes a long way, and I tend to like more “stuff” to make things feel cozy. Still, it has great bones! I wonder about the story behind that skinny doorway…must watch what they eat in the kitchen to get to the next room…:)

Love this house! A question for you…in the photo with the pea gravel path to the back patio, can you tell me what the large leaved plants are up against the wall?
