Feature Friday: Update on the Atlanta House Rebuilt

I shared several weeks ago about the home of Lynn and her family, which had burned to the ground over a year ago.  They have made great progress on the house, so Lynn asked  me to come back if I wanted to take some updates.  It has come a long way in those weeks and they are almost ready to move back in.  She still doesn’t have a lot of furniture and accessories yet, but all of that will come.

The home is beautiful, stately and gorgeous.  Come on along for a tour.

Here’s a reminder of the beautiful exterior of Lynn and family’s newly rebuilt home.  Gorgeous!

083

Love the double front door, with the lantern light fixture.  A mix of stone, shingles and brick is on the outside of the house.

081

They have a great contractor who has not spared the details on this home.

079

Stone stairs coming up to the front door.

075

Shutters on the porch area.

012

Coming in the front door, the stairs have been stained a deep brown to match the floors.

009

Front door and lantern in the foyer.

008

Upstairs is her boys’ rooms with a spot for relaxing for them at the top of the stairs.

003

Bathroom tile.

027

Downstairs, the dining room has beautiful woodwork and details on the ceiling.

023

I thought you’d love a look at all the millwork detail around the door, as well as the pretty chandelier.

015

Library with dark paneling.

016

This hidden door goes through to the master bedroom, a fun little feature.

026

Going into the kitchen is a butler’s pantry.

028

Kitchen cabinets are in with farmhouse sink and granite.

034

The whole kitchen.  Love the custom island, range hood and the backsplash.

033

Closeup of the island.

031

Island looking towards the greatroom.

036
Greatroom with fireplace.  It’s a big open space and I can’t wait to see it furnished.

042

Lynn saw my post about Rustick’s in Cashiers, NC, saw this light fixture and went up there and bought it when they put it on sale.  It’s gorgeous!

044

The spacious laundryroom.

046

Master bedroom.

047

Master bath.

048

Pretty pendants

049

Spacious double vanities in the master.

050

Sink with countertop.  Not sure what material this is, but I’m guessing marble.

053

Check out the fab soaking tub.

055

Details on the tilework.

057

The master shower.

066

Lynn’s office space is over the garage.

061

Powder room vanity and sink.

071

Downstairs will be a wine cellar and theater room.

073

Theater area.

So, that is the update on Lynn’s beautiful Atlanta home.  Even though most of us will never live in a home this large and stately, I love looking at all the details in upscale homes and what is being used in building today, don’t you?  I can appreciate all the beautiful details and love looking at floorplans no matter the price range.

Hope you enjoyed the update on Lynn’s home!

    What a huge,gorgeous home! In all that glory,my two favorite things are the beadboard on the porch ceiling (reminds me of home growing up) and the built-ins in the landing at the top of the stairs (maybe I could corral all my paperwork if I had such a space). Happy for them to be able to rebuild-such a traumatic experience they had to go through. Thanks for sharing this.

    It’s just beautiful, Rhoda. I love all the custom touches. It makes it feel like an older home even though it’s brand new. Thanks for the update!

    Oh that’s a beautiful house!! Love everything about it except…….too many steps. Is there a way for a handicapped person to access it? Other than that, just gorgeous!

    What a lovely home. So happy for this family. If she is reading comments……I hope that she will comment on her kitchen faucet. I have been searching high and low for a new bridge faucet and LOVE hers…..would love to know her source or the brand.

      Andrea,

      Thank you, Lynne & Bill are a pleasure to work with. We had a fun and creative time with them. The bridge faucet you like is from Newport Brass, and we got it from Ferguson Enterprises. Our rep, Jennifer, is a great help.

    What a gorgeous home! She’s made some great selections. If you post it with furniture in it later, would you mind posting the paint color of the taupe shade? Thanks.
