Vintage South Development
Hello, friends and family, hope you all are well and ready for the weekend.
Today, I wanted to share a development company based out of Nashville, it’s Vintage South Development. Founded by Nathan Lyons, the homes are beautiful and the designs are simple, yet timeless. If you go to their website and check out their portfolio you can scroll through the houses and you’ll see why I had to share. Below are a few of my favorites rooms and details. I think you’ll agree these are amazing homes and if you’re in the Nashville area check them out.
A spacious living room with fabulous lighting.
French doors, the built ins, and the floors are beautiful.
The black marble shower is definitely the focal point in this room. You can’t go wrong with black and white, it’s classic.
Beautiful double doors lead you to this amazing entry.
The marble fireplace surround is unique, yet beautifully done. The exposed beams in the dining area and distressed wood on the island make this home a visual treat, with all the different textures.
I’ve always wanted a white kitchen with Carrara marble and white subway tile, but this backsplash is the prettiest I’ve ever seen. The contrast between marble the white cabinets is gorgeous.
A very welcoming southern style front porch.
Notice the details; the painted ceiling, recessed lights, and most importantly the ceiling fans. All it needs is a few more rockers and a porch swing.
Another timeless bathroom, with a beautiful herringbone tile floor.
It was hard to choose from all the beautiful rooms, I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek. If you’re like me you have already pictured yourself in one or two of them. Check out their site for more beautiful pictures and inspiration at http://www.vintagesouthdevelopment.com.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Golden Christmas
Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. We are doing well in Okinawa, we’ve had a few cooler evenings, it’s finally feeling like fall. Just got our last package mailed off, my Christmas shopping is almost complete, now I’m ready to enjoy the season.
This post is about choosing your Christmas decor. The options are endless, if you are looking to change it up a bit this year I have found a few options that are affordable DIY projects. Other than traditional red and green, gold would be my choice for Christmas decor. The gold tones will go well with any color home decor and has a bit more of a formal look. With all the wonderful metallic paints available this look is easy to accomplish. No worries if you’ve already got your Christmas decor up for the season, plan ahead for next year, hit the after Christmas sales and stock up on all things gold. Check out a few of the lovely trees and DIY projects below for a little inspiration.

Provence, France
If you are looking for a dream vacation across the pond I’ve found a few stunning rental properties that might suit your fancy. Take a peak and get your passports ready.
This lovely home is in the heart of the Alpilles of Provence, Le Grand Mas . The six bedroom home will run you about 1,100 euros or $1,400 per night. The home is minimally decorated allowing the architecture and views to speak for themselves in Provence’s most highly sought after region. This provencal house of old stone, surrounded by a great pool house and gardens, is just a short walk away from the center of Saint Remy de Provence. It stands in a flourishing and manicured park of olive trees and roses. The sublimely decorated home boasts modern amenities and gorgeous scenery.
Provence is most famous for its striking, fragrant lavender fields which bloom in early summer. Other notable destinations include the Roman city of Arles, the city of Avignon with its famous medieval bridge, the Pont d’Avignon, and Les Baux de Provence, a fortified hilltop village. On the coast of Provence you’ll find the fishing village of Cassis, where you can take a boat tour of the harbor. Further west you’ll find Marseille, France’s oldest city and an important trading port throughout history.

Cassis, France
The next home is equally beautiful, the main house offers great views of the Massif d’Etoiles. Guests have access to most of the estate including the tennis court, swimming pool, gardens and olive groves. The house sleeps 12 and runs about $2,000 per night.
Hope you have enjoyed taking a little peek at the lovely Provence. The homes shown above have clickable links for more pictures and details about the properties.
