Home

Not sure where it is, but designer Ashley Gilbreath is southern, and the house looks to be also. Actually, "gate house" is rather appropriate, because the house seems to have many entrances, through the generous French doors on several sides.  The stateliness of the house is tempered by the garden-like, "pavilion" feeling produced by all the windows and French doors.... 

She's traditional, and brings in interesting global touches to keep things lively, like these bold, artisan baskets...

Spacious breakfast area/ great room,  again with its own doors--

Love the way the beautiful architecture continues in the kitchen--

Have mixed feelings about this chandelier with its graphic lines.  I do like her use of screens to delineate spaces, like in this sitting area.  Also love the enlivening starburst, generous coffee table, pottery, and witty, oversized botanicals.   

Reclaimed touches abound, like these gorgeous weathered doors...

Corner of a study?

Even in a classical bedroom like this, she has softening details like the shimmering, clear glass lamps. 

The other end of the room is relaxing too--

Charming smaller bedroom....  Her textiles are spot on!

The inviting porch has the southern "haint blue" ceiling, plus faithful canine keeper of the house....

A lot to love here, for me. The breakfast area/kitchen/great room are favorites, and of course, the lovely, inviting porch and sweet dog.

A lot to love here. It is very open and airy and charming. I do not care for the chandelier, but most everything else is spot on and very pretty.

I like the house, but I'd have movers come right away and take out all of the furniture Lol.

I am not sure why but I have a sense of dejavu with this house. I love the house but some of the lighting fixtures are not my taste. I love the porch and would need to be searched when leaving because I adore those botanical prints!

There are some absolutely beautiful furniture and decor pieces here but, overall, I find it's too vanilla for me.  My favorite rooms are the kitchen and that second living/sitting room although I'd still tweak it some. I loved all the windows and french doors!!

I absolutely do not like the breakfast area and great room.  I don't like bench or, in this case, sofa seating and prefer having my own chair.  The great room furniture reminded me of thrift store finds (althought it did have a little more color than a lot of the house).

If it were for sale as is, I'd buy it!!! 

That's how much it calls my name.

I think it's beautiful!  I don't love the kitchen because although the cabinetry is grey, it still comes off as a "white kitchen." I think some of the other rooms could use a bit more wall color also, but overall I like the house very much.

I do like the spaciousness of the rooms. There are some things in the house I do admire, 

the French doors, the wood pieces of furniture, the drapes.  I do think the kitchen is lovely.  The furnishings do not appeal to me and on the whole the rooms lack warmth and I would add color.

I'll take it!

I love "older" homes.  Love to know the history behind them.  Remember, I'm the one who likes to look in the windows of people's homes when possible.  I get it from my dad.
