Affectionately called the “Southern Belle,” this River Crest home is the joint collaboration of Chad Stoyell of Stoyell Built Homes and Robin Cole and Abby Tappendorf of Robin’s Nest Interiors. With intricate architectural detail and a warm décor, this home breathes an air of comfort for all who visit.
WARM DECOR
Whimsical leopard print accent chairs partner with a leather sofa to form a cozy sitting area in the great room. Built-ins feature reclaimed wood shelves and flank the stone wall that hosts a flat screen television and a contemporary fireplace. Beams add drama to the ceiling while hand scraped hickory floors anchor the room. Doors lead out to the covered porch that features wicker furniture and intricate architectural detail. A flat screen television resides above the fireplace.
ROOM WITH A VIEW
The great room flows into a cheerful kitchen. Pendant lights illuminate the island that boasts a dark brown base and granite countertop. Stools line the island, making it the ideal spot for an informal meal. White cabinetry highlights the perimeter of the room. Tufted accent chairs surround a round, black table brightened by a drum chandelier. A decorative clock decorates the wall above a marble-top side table. A colorful cornice enhances the window that provides a view of the outdoor living space.
A STUNNING CEILING
Groined vault ceilings demand attention in the master bedroom. Linen swivel chairs with nailhead trim flank the tall dresser boasting a television. Bedside tables with lamps embrace the bed adorned with plush linens. Roman shades dress the windows while a vintage floor mirror completes the room.
