{Vintage Style} Follow Your Heart

Hello again and welcome back...

This has been a busy week here in Alabama.

We hope to start the build in the next few days.

Possibly as early as beginning of next week.

Praying for dry weather for a few days.

{Vintage Style} Wire Wrapped Vases

 Good morning and welcome back...

Yes, I finally am going to start posting some pretty things again.

I know building homes is fun... but decorating is my thing.

Yesterday Morgan and I went to Decatur, AL to the 

Vintage Market Days of North Alabama

Welcome To Several New Followers....

 When I opened my email this morning I was so happy...

To see so many new follower requests!

I have missed blogging so much.

But some days with us in the rental...

it feels like a hotel room.

Not  the pretty, homey spaces I like to share.

But soon, very soon... I hope to be settled into our new home.

And sharing all the spaces and ideas.

Family Time in Destin....

 Today I wanted to share some pics of our recent trip to Destin, FL.

Let's Talk About The Brick Color....

Hello again and welcome back!

These past few days have been a whirlwind of design choices.

It has been fun, confusing and time consuming.

 One thing I knew is that I did not want any plain solid colored brick.

So when I saw the "Aspen" with a brown tinted base and smeared grouted accents...

I fell in love.

Ceiling Fans and More Lighting Decisions....

Hello again... more design decisions today.

I went to the lighting center and wow....

There is a mind blowing amount to choose from.

I knew this, but the size of this shop was amazing.

Okay, I am taking risks this time!

I love the three blade fan shown above.

It is 60 inches across and so neat.

I have the girls vote... hope hubby likes it too.

Picking Out Pretty Lighting...

Hello again, and welcome back to Suddenly Southern!

Today I wanted to share a few lighting choices.... 

I love how many wonderful options we all have now a days.....

In the entire house I am doing rubbed bronze/brown metals.

So even if the pics don't show it... it will be in bronze.  

This first is a lantern style and I really like it.
I am thinking of using it over my island.
It is huge, and will make quite a statement.

The Finalized Choices for our New Home....

Welcome back to Suddenly Southern.

If you are new here, we are building a home South of Huntsville Alabama.

This past week we finalized our design choices and I am so excited to share them with you!

 Here is our choices all together.  

I love the soft, comfortable feel of them.  

Hopefully very welcoming.

I am so excited to see the Aspen bricks.

They look old world and aged... love!

Making Decorating Decisions.... The Color Pallette and Design

2814 square feet.... doesn't sound so big...

but somehow its huge when you're picking out every square inch of it.

Yes, tomorrow is a long awaited day... 

Our appointment at the design center at Stoneridge Homes.

It has been a long two months coming for me to drive myself nuts about colors.

The walls were really simple... three colors...
