Feature Friday: Deeply Southern Home

How could I not love a blog called Deeply Southern Home?

Meet Leslie. She’s a Louisiana native and as she puts it, deeply Southern, so that’s what she calls her blog.  She has moved around a bit and landed in Birmingham, AL, a place that I also really loved while I lived there several years ago.  She and her hubby bought one house and fixed it up, but she had her eye on another house in their neighborhood, one that she calls the Trail house.  It had been under foreclosure and after watching it for months and even trying to get it months before, it finally worked out and they got the house.

It went from this…..

To this…

With this pretty front entry!

And ultimately this look with new landscaping. What an exterior renovation, right?  They took off the stone and stucco and added new brick.

Inside the front door.

The living room is so pretty and cozy. Of course, I love Leslie’s use of color and she has great taste with a traditional base, but far from boring or predictible.

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

Love the living room space.  In fact, we have the same rug! This is the same rug as my small round rug in my keeping room.

Her cute doggie, at home on the sofa.  I love that brass coffee table too.

There’s Leslie herself in the kitchen. They did a makeover in the kitchen without gutting the whole thing and it’s gorgeous.

Love the blue island.

That’s a new window they added and that black and white backsplash is so pretty. I love how she personalizes all her spaces with color and texture.

Sucha pretty and open kitchen.

Her dining room is a moody shade of blue and really packs a lot of punch.

She made this over in the One Room Challenge last year and it looks great.

I may have to check out this wall color for our master bedroom, it’s a beautiful shade of teal.

The master bedroom is very soothing too.  Leslie loves blue too, so she and I are kindred in using shades of blue in our homes.  I love this rug too.

And get a good look at this  master bathroom renovation they completed.  Leslie told me she laid every piece of tile in this space and that impresses me so much.  I wouldn’t tackle a big project like this but she did a great job and it’s absolutely gorgeous! It was quite the makeover and I love it all.Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

So classic and stunning!

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

Isn’t this a gorgeous bathroom?!

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

I love this punch of wallpaper in the toilet room.  I love little jewel box spaces like this.

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

Her office has so many pretty details and lots of plants.

Such a great use of the Expedit bookcase from Ikea.

Such pretty color and texture in here.

Of course, I love all her plants. I need more plants in my life!

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

This powder room got a makeover too and it’s so charming.

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

Her daughter’s room is so cozy and cute as well.

And the screen porch got a major overhaul too.  You have to go and see all the before pics on her blog, they have worked so hard on this house and it totally shows.

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

I adore a layered and cozy screen porch.

Feature Friday:  Deeply Southern Home

This one has great bones and Leslie did a great job with it.

Couldn’t you spend some time on this porch?

I just love Leslie’s renovations and knew you would too!  They took a 90’s house and really showed it some love and attention and it’s a showplace now.  Leslie has great taste and a wonderful decorating eye and it looks fantastic.  Stop on over and visit Leslie at Deeply Southern Home!

    Oh man this might be my favorite feature you’ve done! I love all her plants. I would most certainly kill most of them if I had that many in my house. But it has definitely inspired me to try incorporating a few into my house. I love love love that dining room color.

    That’s impressive – beautiful home, and I love that she had the fortitude to tackle the tile installation in that amazing bathroom. The high price of labor has kept me from diving into having our downstairs floors done (I don’t begrudge the craftspeople their prices I know how valuable their skills are) but I might be inspired to at least try to do the mud room myself. Thanks for sharing this, have a great weekend!

      HI, Rachael, I hear you, labor is expensive, we have to hire out lots of things too. But I know I couldn’t handle a whole bathroom reno myself, I know my limitations and Mark hasn’t tiled before. But I think we could manage to do floors and backsplashes, so that might be something we tackle together. My body can’t handle too much of this stuff!

    I plan on turning my formal dining room into my study and my living room in to my dining room, opening up into my family room. I have copied the photos of her study. Love the bookcase. I live your husband big cabinet in your living room, too. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for sharing this. It is very inspirational, just like your home! Her entry way is lovely, and reminds me of yours. I really like her bathroom, especially the shower. We put in low-cost marble flooring like this in our upstairs bathrooms. I wonder if her bathroom floor and shower are also marble…

      Edie, thank you, I think her’s is marble, at least it looks to be.

    I ve never heard a living space called a toilet room. What happened to bathroom?

      It’s in the bathroom, but is it’s own little room, so I call it the toilet room.

    What a lovely home, Rhoda! Are all those plants real?

    Wow, her home is just gorgeous. That blue dining room and the master bath and that emerald sofa!!! I never thought “your art should match your couch” but that makes such a pretty scene.

    Seems to me I have heard marble is very difficult to lay as the subfloor has to be completely perfect.

      HI Rachael, you’ll need to go to Leslie’s blog (linked here) to ask her, she won’t see this question.
