One of my very sweet blog friends, Richella with Imparting Grace is my guest today and wait til you see her beautiful Southern home in North Carolina. It’s another dream home, full of love and family and beautiful furnishings, but I can just tell that it’s a house that is cozy and warm, even though it looks quite large. Richella has done an outstanding job making her house a home and I know you’re going to love it too.
Richella is a wonderful Christian friend and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her in blogland. She is as dear as they come.
From the outside, it’s quite impressive with the columns, stonework and beauty. Not to mention those big garages, that’s nice to have.
Coming up to the front porch, which is all stone (wow, love that!), see that porch tucked away to the right.
What a nice and cozy spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors under cover.
Inside the family room has a nice bank of doors and windows letting in lots of light.
Notice the arched doorways and all the beautiful crown molding and trimwork. Richella’s collection of crosses are on this wall.
The fireplace in the family room is cozy and this looks like a great spot to hang out.
Notice the built ins and the arched door frames. Just stunning!
Richella recently repainted her dining room from red to this vivid blue and I just love it.
With her beautiful Karastan rug and white woodwork, that blue just pops.
Her kitchen is one big space with a large breakfast table in the room as well.
Oven wall and huge island is so dreamy.
What a gorgeous kitchen!
With a built in desk space in the corner too.
The master bedroom is cozy in green and blue. Richella sewed the pillows and coverlet.
She’s a smart cookie and does lots of DIY projects at home.
Large master bath with a corner tub and that’s a painting of Richella above.
Part of the master bedroom with a vanity area.
She recently refreshed her guest room too and it looks so pretty.
With 3 boys, Richella really needs a bonus room and this one over the garage is a nice one.
Now this space could really make me envious, a beautiful screened porch high up in the trees. Look at that, looks like a tree house!
This is where I’d be spending a ton of time.
I know you enjoyed this tour of Richella’s home as much as I did. I hope you’ll go over to Imparting Grace and take a look around. You will love Richella and her sweet self!
WOW!!! How beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ~Tammy

So beautiful! Love that screened porch, just amazing. That’s how I want my dream house to look like.
Thanks for letting us in your home Richella. And, Rhoda thanks for featuring her home ;-). The house is beautiful and so many cozy spots to hang out. I can almost see her whole family gathered at that big table in the kitchen.
Rhoda, thank you so much! I can hardly believe you included my home for your Feature Friday. I appreciate you so much. Your kind and generous spirit is a bright spot in the world of blogging. I am honored to be here.
And girl, can you believe that Christmas is just a few days away now? I pray that your first Christmas in your new home is filled with love and goodness to the point of overflowing!
Thank you again and much love!
Wow love the porches – I don’t think I would ever come inside, (although the inside is beautiful too) great tour!
That screened in porch up in the trees – seriously took my breath away. That is a must have in my future home. So so pretty!
I live Richella’s house and her blog! Her house looks like the perfect entertaining house. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow. I love every inch of that place!
So beautiful! This looks the the home plan I picked out as a possible “someday” dream home.
What a fabulous house! It’s made for raising a family and entertaining, a perfect combination. Thank you for the chance to see it.
Hugs, Cindy
I love Richella and her beautifully decorated home! That was so nice of you to feature her! I hope everyone will put as much love and care into making their house a home where family and friends will feel comfortable…and God will be glorified!
Merry Christmas!

WOW. you had me at the front porch…and then the bold use of color, which I love (I have the same color on the walls in my kitchen) kept me wanting more and the cherry on top is most definitely the screened porch. I’d have to fight you for the last chair out there. LOL. What a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and all your family Rhoda. I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings on the blog of all blogs!
Beautiful home… I know your porch will be fantastic once your able to get going on yours Rhoda.. have a Merry sweet Christmas!!!!
What a beautiful home! Even though it’s very large, it still has that warm & inviting feel about it.
I’m in love with the kitchen!! The countertops are gorgeous! And I’m just in awe of all the detail & trim work ~ it adds so much character to the home.
Thanks for sharing: I’ll definitely pop over & look around some more.
Lovely family friendly space… thanks for sharing, Rhoda. Merry Christmas, my friend!!
