Feature Friday: Lisa’s Vinings Home

This is a Feature Friday repeat, but definitely worth sharing again, so I hope you enjoy this beautiful Vinings in Atlanta home of friend, Lisa.

******************************************

I’m so excited to feature this beautiful home today!  You all know I went to Round Top, TX this year and it was hosted by the delightful Lisa, who is the shop owner of The Front Porch of Vinings, an adorable cottage home in downtown Vinings chock full of vintage goodies for the home, as well as clothing, shoes and jewelry.  Lisa is a very smart business woman and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her.  When I went to her house, I was blown away and asked her if I could feature her house on my blog. She said yes and I was so happy!

I knew that y’all would love this house.  Lisa has been married to her college sweetheart for 24 years and they have lived in this house for over 3 years, along with their 2 college age kids.  It was built 13 years ago, so is not a brand new house, but it’s in a very desirable area of Atlanta, known as Vinings, which is inside the Perimeter.  The house sits on a small lake and wow, is it stunning!   Lisa told me that she knew about the house and the lady who designed it (who, by the way had vision before the reclaimed thing became popular), and when it came up for sale, she knew that she would love it without even seeing the inside.  She fell hard for the house and before long, the house was theirs.  I’m not even sure what to call the style of this home, but it’s sort of European, with lots of stone and natural elements and the inside matches the outside, made with reclaimed brick floors, rustic barnwood and lots of molding and details.  It’s classic and traditional as well as eclectic and rustic.  Lisa has such a great eye for design and scale and has done a wonderful job with this home.  She has many treasures from Round Top in the house too.

Get ready for lots of pics, I got a little carried away with the camera and you’ll see why!

The lovely Lisa!

At the street, the long driveway is hidden in the trees, but you can see the house peeking through.

lisa-vinings-home002

The front door actually is right off the driveway and those French doors are the living room and dining room.

lisa-vinings-home003

The roof, stone exterior and dormers.

lisa-vinings-home004

That Juliet balcony above is her daughter’s room, which we didn’t photograph.

lisa-vinings-home008

Two sets of French doors lead outside to a stone terrace.

lisa-vinings-home005

Isn’t this lovely?!

lisa-vinings-home006

This is a unique house architecturally.

lisa-vinings-home007

lisa-vinings-home010

Front door off the stone driveway.

lisa-vinings-home009

Lisa has a beautiful Fall display on the steps.

lisa-vinings-home011

Inside the foyer of the front door, you can see stairs leading up and down in the middle.

lisa-vinings-home2004

Looking back towards the front door, which I love.

lisa-vinings-home012

To the right is the dining room and Lisa has it all set up with dishes.

lisa-vinings-home013

Such a pretty space, showcasing Lisa’s many finds.

lisa-vinings-home014

Lisa lost her mom just a few years ago and these dishes were her moms, so she treasures them.

lisa-vinings-home015

So pretty and elegant.

lisa-vinings-home016

Rustic sideboard with lamps and artwork.

lisa-vinings-home017

Another rustic piece on the other side.  Lisa was telling me about those baskets with Bales stamped on them. That’s her maiden name, so she picked these up at Round Top and is giving some of them to her brothers. I love that mirror.

lisa-vinings-home018

You can’t help but notice the beautiful architecture in the house, like these deep molded arch doorways from the dining room to the living room.

lisa-vinings-home019

Big enough to house a small built in display niche, which is such a nice treat.

lisa-vinings-home2001

The living room, with various neutral shades, very soothing and subtle. Notice that pretty chandelier, Lisa has a beautiful collection of lighting.

lisa-vinings-home2002

This room has a French feel to me.

lisa-vinings-home2003

A fireplace on the living room side cozies up the room even more.

lisa-vinings-home020

Right outside in the hallway is a powder bath.

lisa-vinings-home2006

More architectural pieces and really cool orchid on display.

lisa-vinings-home2005

That staircase is very unique too, with fruit interspersed on the railings. This was original to the house.

lisa-vinings-home021

The entry way table another very unique piece that I’m sure Lisa picked up on her outings.  That painting came from the recent Round Top shopping trip and it’s perfect here.

lisa-vinings-home022

A bricked niche holds another antique buffet winebar.  What a perfect spot for this piece.

lisa-vinings-home023

Stepping around the corner is the kitchen.  It’s definitely a WOW!

lisa-vinings-home024

It’s hard for my pics to do this space justice, with the brick vent hood, to the reclaimed wood beams on the ceiling.  It’s so pretty!

lisa-vinings-home025

Love this antique runner in the kitchen, it looks perfect in here too.

lisa-vinings-home026

Looking towards the breakfast table.  Lisa said many of these walls are done in Venetian plaster and they are beautiful.

lisa-vinings-home027

Another light fixture found in Round Top on one of her shopping trips.  Love all the arched doorways in the house.

lisa-vinings-home029

Everything just goes and flows together so well.

lisa-vinings-home028

One more shot of the magnificent kitchen. Notice those oversized lamps on the island, the ceilings are very tall and they are great in here.

lisa-vinings-home034

A keeping room right off the kitchen continues with the cozy vibe.

lisa-vinings-home030

Great place to sit and watch TV.

lisa-vinings-home031

Bookcases were built for the space to flank the fireplace.

lisa-vinings-home032

Corner table and lamp.

lisa-vinings-home033

Fresh flowers on the coffee table.

lisa-vinings-home035

Right off the kitchen is this cute Dutch door going into the laundry room.

lisa-vinings-home036

Where the sweet family dog resides.  Isn’t this the cutest dog bed space?

lisa-vinings-home037

On the main level is the master bedroom, right off the kitchen space.  I just about died when I saw the closet!  I have never had a huge closet, so this would be such a treat.  It’s all organized and so spacious.

lisa-vinings-home038

The closet leads to the master bath and bedroom, with this lovely and serene bedding.

lisa-vinings-home044

Love those Mr. & Mrs. pillows.

lisa-vinings-home039

So much natural light comes in this house, which is such a bonus.

lisa-vinings-home043

Going into the master bath.

lisa-vinings-home040

Beautiful tile and spacious corner tub. I didn’t get the shower in the shot, but it’s to the left here, a large tiled shower.

lisa-vinings-home041 lisa-vinings-home042

lisa-vinings-home045

Downstairs, reclaimed brick floors are on the entire space.  Such a nice look!  Lisa’s dad comes and lives with her part of the time and stays in the downstairs guest area.

lisa-vinings-home046 lisa-vinings-home047

There’s a large entertaining space there too, with dining table, fireplace, kitchen, and media area.

lisa-vinings-home048

Lisa has such a great eye for finding just the right pieces for each space in her house.

lisa-vinings-home049 lisa-vinings-home050

Cozy seating for TV watching.

lisa-vinings-home051

Much of this downstairs space was finished off with reclaimed barnwood in several areas like this media cabinet.

lisa-vinings-home052

More reclaimed wood on the walls in this small bathroom space.

lisa-vinings-home053

They  live on a small lake, so it does have a bit of a resort feel.

lisa-vinings-home054 lisa-vinings-home055

And here’s the very cool reclaimed wood kitchen.  What a great spot for parties, everything is right here.

lisa-vinings-home056 lisa-vinings-home057

lisa-vinings-home059

Right off that space is the outdoor patio, which is under the deck space upstairs and all finished off.

lisa-vinings-home060

Lisa said this is where they hang out and watch football during the Fall.

lisa-vinings-home061 lisa-vinings-home062

Her dad made this beautiful American flag out of reclaimed wood.

lisa-vinings-home063

What a spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors!

lisa-vinings-home065

I got one bad shot of this side of the house, but wanted you to see the stone arches from the lawn. There’s an upstairs patio and downstairs one.

lisa-vinings-home066

Here’s a shot of the upstairs.

lisa-vinings-home067

Which overlooks this beautiful view of the lake.

lisa-vinings-home058

They have a dock and some toys for playing in the water, which would be so much fun. I know this is a fun party house and they enjoy entertaining and living outdoors as much as possible.  I  just loved Lisa’s house so much and knew that you all would too.  It’s beautiful, but comfortable and inviting, truly a dream house.  Lisa said they will stay here for the long haul and continue to enjoy this house for many years to come!
