Inspiring Ranch Re-do
I think the nesting urges are starting to kick in because I've been cleaning out even the most random corners of the house. Last week I went through my old magazines. I only managed to get rid of four or five and a couple of duplicates, but they are now all organized nicely. In the process, I re-fell in love with a few old favorites, including this Atlanta house published in Cottage Living.
His-and-hers desks in the living room are hidden behind louvered doors on tracks. And I'm kind of obsessed with the buffalo-checked slipcovers on the chairs.
The front entrance, before.
The much more charming entrance, after.

This is why I love blogs! First, I love going through old magazines, it is therapeutic and dangerous at the same time. Then I never actually purge any! That first picture is a long time favorite of mine because i love the offices. I had never noticed the chairs in front, love them!
I remember this house! I pulled out a lot of these pages for my files. I think I still have them.
I could bookmark almost all of your posts! These are gorgeous! :)
Love the symmetry in these. Not overdone, just right!
this is one of my favorite homes. i too keep almost all my mags. I so need a solution for them though.
I have always loved this house! It was an inspiration to us when we bought our house. Thanks for sharing it again!!
I have had that image of the baby on that built in changing area saved forever - I had almost forgotten about it - amazing home!
wow, we hoard all the same inpsiration images! love all of the above. happy nesting;)
This is one of my all-time favorites, too! We modeled the exterior of our ranch redo with this one. And that kitchen!
loved it then and love it now. still pinning away for CL, I miss it so!
i have always adored this house!!
nice
we have showed that twin bed picture to clients SO MANY times...it's GREAT!
Definitely one of my favorites! And I very rarely throw away magazines!
Yay for nesting! I'm getting the same way, and our house is a disaster because of it - I'm pulling everything out and purging!
The images are beautiful! While we are "satisfied" with our current living situation, I can't wait to get into our settled home - hopefully in the country!
It will always be a classic and favorite! Can't wait to see what all the nesting in leading to!
So pretty. I remember that house from Cottage Living. Oh, how I miss that magazine! I can't aprt with any of the old issues. Have fun working the nursery.
LOVELY BLOG! Congrats on baby on the way! I too am a newly wed, pursuing self-employment with my artist husband, building our own adventures. You blog is inspiring!
