Mitchell Gold Cottage at Serenbe

Last weekend, I was invited to a preview party of the newly decorated Mitchell Gold+Bob Williams cottage in Serenbe.  And when they say cottage, they aren’t kidding.  At around 900 s.f. this is one cozy little house and it is touted as “Beautiful Life in a Small and Smart Space”.  Entirely cute and inviting too, so it was very fun to see.  The guys from Mitchell Gold are so nice and it’s always fun to see them. They  have hosted several parties for the Room Service Atlanta crew and I always enjoy seeing their showroom right in the heart of Buckhead.

So, I took my roommate, Rhonda, along and we headed down there to check out the cottage and enjoy the street party.  I ran into several of my designer blog friends, so that was fun too.

It was a street party, with food, drinks, ponies, ice cream, and more.

Mitchell Gold house Serenbe

This cottage was designed by the Lew Oliver Inc. design firm in Atlanta. They did the first 40 homes at Serenbe and this is part of the “Eco Cottage” collection.

mitchell gold house

Lots of folks were milling around looking at everything and enjoying a nice summer day.

porch

The porch was really cute and I loved this side door.

living room

The living room is small, but with soaring ceilings, feels more spacious.

stairs

The staircase to the 2nd floor is really a neat concept.

kitchen

Loved the kitchen with all open shelves in front of the windows.  I’m not sure if I could live with all open shelves, cause you’d have to keep them really neat and tidy.

kitchen 2

But, this kitchen is really pretty.

kitchen shelves

Dark lower cabinets and open shelving.

bath

The bathroom is simple too, but nicely done.

master bedroom

Master bedroom in shades of brown.

window wall bedroom

Pretty room and I love the drapes.

bedroom chest

Chest at the end of the bed.

tray

A tray on the chest that was fun.

loft space

UPstairs is a loft area set up like a small office or reading area.

yellow roses

Pretty yellow roses.

living room wall

Downstairs in the living room.

mitchell gold sectional

Outside, Mitchell Gold had a large white sectional set up for display.  Imagine the folks you could host on this big piece.

Cottage for sale

There were a couple more houses open for the day that are for sale, so of course, we had to check those out too.

bedroom

Small cottage homes in Serenbe are pretty to see, but living here would be out of my price range.

living room (2)

We loved this one with it’s rustic, but feminine décor.

mantel

Fireplace mantel

kitchen 2 (2)

This kitchen was really pretty too, with gray cabinets and a rustic kitchen table.

farmhouse sink

The farmhouse sink with gray and white marble was beautiful.

purple chairs

And check out the purple chairs on the large deck in the back.  So fun!  That you could do easily with some extra chairs sitting around.

upstairs looking down

Upstairs looking down to the kitchen.  You can see these cottages have lots of planked walls too, which is a huge trend right now.

loft upstairs

A small loft area at the top of the stairs. There was another bedroom up here too.

house 2 for sale

Just down the street was one more pretty home to tour.

white and colors in lr

This one was nice and bright with all those windows across the front. I love the café curtains I’m seeing in lots of homes now.  So charming!

lr fireplace

This one is done in lots of white planked walls and a white fireplace with dark wood floors.  So very appealing!

white kitchen

Pops of red in the kitchen and living room are a fun addition.

kitchen shelving

This white Shaker style kitchen with white subway tile is familiar to me.  I think I chose wisely on my white kitchen.

this is the life

Yes, this is the life!

upstairs bedroom

Upstairs, a bedroom is set up. Check out that row of dark wood that was added in the white planked wall.  That’s an interesting look.

shelf

Loved this rustic shelf with cute things on it.

bedroom upstairs

Another bedroom upstairs as well. You can see that the sign trend is going strong too.  Everywhere you look, it’s typography on the walls.

barndoor

A sliding barn door to the bathroom.

powder room

Anther rustic cabinet in a powder room.

small office

And off the living room is a tiny office space.

outdoor planter

Loved this old rustic galvanized tub repurposed as a planter right out front of the house.

Along the street were more beautiful homes in Serenbe that I knew you’d love to see.

This place is so peaceful and pretty.

cottage at serenbe 3

Love these cottage style homes.

landscaping at Serenbe

With some beautiful landscaping too.  Next year will be my year to start landscaping and working outside of my house. I can’t wait to get going on that! I really do love flowers and plants, stone walls and all those things that make a pretty yard.  Can’t wait!

    Thanks so much for sharing this Rhonda! I love to see great new cottage style architecture that has so much character. No one does that at all in our area. My husband is a contractor and it’s our dream to be the first to build homes like this around here.
