Feature Friday: Biscuits and Burlap

Back today with another fun Feature Friday!  This blogger is fairly new and she blogs with her daughter at Biscuits and Burlap.  Pam and Sara are the mother daughter duo behind the blog and they share in writing the blog from an older/younger perspective, which is a great idea.  Pam, the mom, and her hubby built their dream home last year here in the Atlanta area, near the small town of Norcross, which has some cute historical streets with quaint homes.  Their home looks very Southern and I’m sure fits right into the area they live and I just love the feel of it.  Southern style gets me every time!

I’m meeting more and more over 50 bloggers and will be sharing more of them along the way. It’s fun to connect with other bloggers who are more mature (notice I didn’t say old!) and of the Baby Boomer generation!

I think Pam and her hubby downsized when they built this house, but it looks to be a perfect size open floor plan, perfect for empty nesters. Pam is a Mimi to several adorable grand children and mom of 3. I  know she is enjoying her new home so much.

This brick porch and front door just says welcome to me, a very Southern entry.  I adore Southern style homes so much and if I ever built a new house, it would have charm like this.

TourB9

They opted for an open floor plan, which Pam says is sometimes hard to decorate around, with not a lot of walls to place things.  Her kitchen and greatroom and dining area all open up to each other.  I think it’s great, I wouldn’t mind that at all.

TourBcoffee2

She goes into detail on her blog about the building process, so if you want to check out all the details, go over to her blog for more.

TourB14

This is a pretty stacked stone fireplace and those built ins are great too!

Pam is still working on her home, but she has several spaces ready to show, so we are taking the tour. Decorating is always a work in progress, isn’t it.  Looks great to me so far.

TourB1

kitchen-tour-13

The kitchen isn’t huge, but very workable and having a counter and stools is handy.

kitchen-tour-15

I love that turquoise island too.

kitchen-tour-16

I love the white cabinets and the granite and she has a Blanco sink similar to mine too.

kitchen-tour-8

Granite composite sink and they are wonderful sinks.

Kitchen-Tour-1

It looks like a very functional and stylish kitchen.

TourB5

Instead of a big breakfast area, she has a drop leaf breakfast table to one side of the room and this space is so cute.  Just perfect for 2 people!

diningtourwm4

The dining room is spacious and seats 8, very nice and open.  Dining room is painted Sea Salt, one of the most famous Sherwin Williams paint colors out there.

Pam is a thrifty shopper too and found these pretty glass cabinets at a antiques/flea market place for a great price.  I think she said they are Henredon.

diningtourbutlerwm

A cute Butler’s pantry is in a little alcove off the dining room.

TourB41

At night, they can open up the folding French doors and enjoy the big back porch.

TourB22

A porch is always going to be on my wish list and this one is really pretty.

TourB24

Cozy and comfy seating areas.

TourB28

A dining table for al fresco meals.

TourB33

Here it is at night, just for a fun shot.  Porches and candlelight, what a great combo.

TourB20

A serving piece comes in handy on the porch as well.

TourB39

TourB35

And don’t forget the outdoor grill and kitchen space.  A Big Green egg is all built in and ready to go, as well as a gas grill.

TourB36

Stools surround the outdoor bar, ready for guests.  What a great house and porch!  So very Southern indeed.

I hope you enjoyed this new home tour of Pam of Biscuits and Burlap.  Check out the blogging duo and stop by and say hi, I know they would like to get to know you too!

    Rhoda, It is such an honor to have our home featured in your Feature Friday series. As you said, we’ve downsized and moved closer in to Atlanta, though Norcross is a wonderful small town with its own personality. I hope your readers will enjoy. Thank you!!!!

      Pam, you are so welcome! I love smaller homes like this that have all the charm left intact. I’d love to have a home with such details and smaller footprint one day. My ideal home is Craftsman or Cape Cod or Southern Living style like yours! Love it! I think more of us Boomers want smaller homes, but not cookie cutter and bland.

    Sigh. This is just the kind of house I want to down size to. Love the open concept. Didn’t know there was such a thing as
    folding french doors. I’m going to make a note of that on my wish list.

    So pretty! We are soon to build a new house with a huge screened porch and I can’t wait to decorate it! I have a wood table I want to put out there and am concerned about weather damage. How does it hold up on a covered screened porch?

      My wood furniture has done just fine on a covered screened porch. Gets dusty but everything does! If it’s raining I don’t leave a couple of the pieces where they’ll get wet.

    • Rhoda says

      July 22, 2016 at 3:02 pm

      Mine does fine too. I don’t have much wood on my porch and the little side table I do have is old anyway so I don’t worry about it too much. It will probably eventually show wear if you leave wood outside too long though.

    • Pam Brand says

      Marla, I refinished the wood table and used Spar Varnish, which is marine-grade. Makes sense when you think about it. Boats are wooden and they’re in the water. I still need to do that to the sideboard, though

    I really enjoyed touring this pretty home! It is the perfect size and I love the interior and exterior of it.
    Those French doors are on my wish list now.

    Rhoda, this is truly a pretty and livable home! Love the turquoise and ‘sea salt’. One note: Our last home featured a screened porch, and I LOVED it most months – other than July – September – when the Southern heat and humidity were just TOO MUCH. But spring and fall are really delightful times for porch sitting…and our kitty loved it year round. It’s a great place for bird watching. Ha. Stay cool everyone.

    Enjoyed seeing Pam’s home very much. Love that southern style! I hope you will continue to show us some smaller homes ( although this wasn’t all that small, it was a great size) because all of us don’t live in a house with a cavernous kitchen or family room. I enjoy your blog so much, Rhoda. Love seeing your family, especially your parents.

      Thank you, Bonnie, yes I love to mix up house sizes and you are right in that all of us don’t live in huge homes, myself included. I love to see smaller homes that live well too.

    Pam’s home is so beautiful! I could totally work in that kitchen and like the appliance placement. What stopped my heart is the china cabinet!! I probably have that many dishes but not wall space for that piece of furniture. Thanks for sharing.
