Feature Friday: Craftsman Home in Cartersville, Part 2

Today, I’m back with Part 2 of the beautiful Craftsman style home in Cartersville, GA.  If you missed the first post, go to Part 1 to catch up on the rest of the house.  I’ll post a pic of the outside again, just so you can appreciate this gorgeous home’s exterior.

Now let’s head inside to the kitchen!  Oh, how you are going to love the kitchen.

Jennie

This is Jennie, the homeowner.  She and her husband, Eric, built this custom home with lots of great details from their years of restoring older homes.  Jennie is a sweet lady and I’m glad we grew up in church together.  My family and her family are close friends.

Kitchen full shot

The kitchen is so pretty and I couldn’t help but take a lot of pics from all angles, so you can see how gorgeous it all is.  I love this massive black island, don’t you?

antique white kitchen

Creamy glazed cabinets are the main component to this beautiful kitchen.

black and antique white cabinets

I love the detailed glass doors she added in the black island too.

black island

The backside of the island shows pretty distressing and hardware details.

You can see the contrast with the floors and that pretty glass.

farmhouse sink

A farmhouse sink is right at home in this kitchen.

Update:  Several of you asked about the green paint in the kitchen and Master Bedroom/Bath.  Here it is from Jennie:

The kitchen is Bayleaf by Eddie Bauer sold at Lowes and the master is Carriage Door by Behr sold at Home Depot.

kitchen black island

Love the shape of the island and how unique it is.  I’ve never seen an island like this and I love it.

kitchen stove

Pretty and detailed hood over the stove.

range hood

I always love display shelves above stoves like this too.   A place to put pretty accessories and check out that black and white checkerboard backsplash.  Very eye-catching!

kitchen window treatment

Jennie’s window treatments in the breakfast area are so simple and cute too.I didn’t check out how they are hung, but I love the pom-pom trim on these. They highlight the pretty trimwork on the doors and windows.

breakfast area

Here’s another great feature that Jennie and Eric chose for their breakfast area.  They added rough planks to the walls (like many in blogland are doing) when they built their house.

Breakfast Give Thanks

Painted it all white to blend in with the trim and it is a gorgeous feature in their house. Jennie’s dad is a home builder and he was the contractor of their home when it was built about 6 years ago.  Eric mentioned that when these planks went up, they got a call from him, all in a panic from the cracks and gaps in the boards.  He couldn’t possibly understand that this look is exactly what they were going for!  Funny, huh?  No caulking required!

breakfast room with plank walls

I love the beam that offsets this breakfast area.  It looks like an old farmhouse and that wall of windows is so stunning.

Looking back to the butler’s pantry area in the hallway between the kitchen and dining room.

console table

Going down another hallway towards the master suite and guestroom side of the house.

guestroom

Here’s a pretty guestroom.

guestbath

And guest bath.

master bedroom

The master suite is spacious and calming.

master ceiling

Love the tray ceiling.

master birds

Jennie has it decorated so pretty.

master sitting room fireplace

One one end of the master, is a very nice sitting area with sofa, lots of windows, and a fireplace.

master sitting red sofa

How nice is this to enjoy?

masterbath

On the other side of the master suite is the master bath. Another spacious area.

master tub

Pretty tub and check out how she displayed her towels in a wine rack.  Great idea!

master vanity

Vanities for both, it’s such a spacious bathroom.

red powder room

Red guest powder room.

porch

Right off the kitchen is a beautiful screened porch with a stone fireplace.  Great way to enjoy the sun.

Zoe the dachsund

That day, the sun was shining bright and their dachsund was enjoying her place in the sun.

covered porch from pool

A covered porch is great for entertaining.

covered patio

Soaring ceilings and comfy furniture to lounge on completes the space.

stone pool

And a beautiful swimming pool is great for those hot Georgia summers.

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful home tour of Jennie and Eric’s gorgeous home.  I had heard how beautiful it is and I am so glad I got to see it in person.

Thanks, Jennie and Eric, for letting us stop by your Cartersville home!

    Such a great kitchen and breakfast room. Love all her details. It looks like the curtains are hung through a plate rack. What a neat idea.

      I think its a plate rack too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them being as curtain hangers. They look great. Stunning home.

    Hi Rhoda,
    Thanks for sharing your heart and eye for beauty with all of us! Your blog is the first one I go to each day!
    I would love to know the color of the paint in the kitchen, and is that the same color used in hall, and in master bath? Thanks.
    Merry Christmas to you and all your family.

    I am absolutely drooling over this house…perfection! And a Dachshund to boot. Doesn’t get any better! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

    Also I grew up not far from Cartersville, in Silver Creek though I’ve lived in North Carolina since 1986.

      Do you know what color she used on the wall behind the black lamps? It’s a lovely nice neutral I would love to use for my foyer and great room. I am using the green she used in her bedroom for my kitchen. Her red wall color in the bathroom would look great in my powder room too. I love your blog, you are the best.

      Linda, the paint colors are listed above in the kitchen and master bedroom/bath. I think you are talking about the master bath color?

    Can you find out if those are plate racks holding the curtains? I am going to paint my kitchen and make new window treatments after the first of the year and I really like how that looks!
