Terri Woodall, and her former NFL player husband Lee, live in a stately Georgia home. They've made lots of compromises-- he loves lots of space around him, but she wanted to downsize. She wants people around her, and he's more of a loner, it sounds like. But they both feel compelled to reach out and help people.
I'm insane about any structure with a fieldstone-type facade-- so earthy and reassuring.

This shot of the colonnade or porch shows the beautiful stone--

They both love the house's wine cellar (which seems to have been there when they bought it, but has been tweaked by them.) It's now like a romantic little Parisian cafe, love it!

So elegant, yet inviting...


This surprise in the cellar below just killed me-- there's a "skylight" of sorts, above them, that is part of their kitchen floor! They walk over it every day. Love this detail:

In the "Homeworthy" video tour that they do of their house, they mention that they have couple friends that use this vault-like wine cellar as a "date" destination, and eat in here!!
Some couples who have had challenges in their marriages have "ironed out" things in the cellar. And when her sister was too timid to meet a blind date, she finally felt safe to meet him if it could be in Terri's 'cellar cafe'!

So, even though as non-drinkers they don't use it themselves, they are offering a cozy respite to others in their lives....
I like her clean aesthetic in the rest of the house. She admits to being a huge fan of white, but I do find the way that she tempers it with beautiful browns, and with wood, it comes off warm, like in her stunning office/ den--

The video whole-house tour at "Homeworthy" is well worth a look.
But it was that intimate wine cellar that drew me in. Something about home wine cellars and saunas always gets me. A return to the cave perhaps, ha.
