Charlotte Home A Rama Post 6: The Oldfield House By New Old Homes & Design

The beautiful facade was highlighted with window boxes.

The warmest and most unusual of all the houses at this years Home A Rama was The Oldfield House. the layout was much more modern in feel, with less unused space, and more common areas for family to interact. A wonderful design element found within the home, was reused barn wood that framed the large living room space, and was also picked up in the rustic kitchen stools. This house was by far my personal favorite, and had the most in depth interior decoration, thanks to the wonderful shop Nest Furnishing.

Beautiful seasonal flowers and creative landscaping made this house a standout.

Rustic and earthy dining room ready for Thanksgiving Dinner.

The large sideboard in the dining room.

The living room and dining room and open to each other.

The living room is rustic with lots of textures and colors.

Large bright rustic kitchen.

I love the extra storage at the end of the island and at the tops of the cabinets.

What an amazing spot for breakfast!

The morning room is right off of the kitchen and looks like a wonderful place to read a book!

There are two of these desks on either side of the hallway, making for a wonderful work area!

I love the use of this small hallway as a work space!

This awesome family room is off the kitchen, but well away from the bedrooms so you wont wake any one up when you decide to watch a movie in the middle of the night.

The screened in porch is really large and pretty.

I really love the industrial lights that can be found throughout the house.

Upstairs Landing

The upstairs landing had storage and opened up to the laundry room and bedrooms.

Prettiest laundry room ever.

The boys room had a wonderful fishing theme, with industrial lights and fishing rod curtain rails.

Beautiful ocean themed guest bedroom.

This is the girls bedroom, and it is one of the sweetest rooms I have been in, in a very long time.

The master bedroom continued the ocean theme.

The most beautiful room in the house was this amazing symmetrical bathroom, with claw foot tub and large white shower.

Charlotte Home A Rama Post 5: The River Cottage By Evans Coghill Homes

This Modern American Farmhouse is a classically beautiful space, and is following one of the major trends this year, being a right sized homes. Homes that still provide plenty of space for a family and entertaining, while cutting out some of the more exotic and rarely used spaces like wine grotto’s and guest homes that have been seen in previous Home A Rama’s. The floor plan of the house was the biggest selling feature for me, with it’s large great room and beautiful downstairs master bedroom.

Downstairs Floorplan

Upstairs Floorplan

The front porch was set off by a beautiful red lacquer swing.

The front porch has a simple table and chairs, great for drinking a cup off coffee while you watch the neighborhood go by.

The foyer was set off by these large wooden doors, that were beautifully complimented by the color of the hutch.

The study is very simple and serves as a library with plenty of shelving.

I love the coffered ceiling in the library.

The large kitchen was a wonderful combination of textures from granite to slate, wood, and steel.

The floor-plan is very open with seating on the opposite side of the kitchen island.

The kitchen cabinets are beautiful with glass doors and thick decorative moldings.

The living room is quite modern, with a mix of neutral fabrics, with interesting textures.

The fireplace was set off by two large flower arrangements and a large painting in neutral co-coordinating colors.

The large covered patio area is floored with tinted stamped concrete, in a woodgrain floor pattern.

Outside dining area.

The master bedroom is modern and simple in rich masculine colors.

This work area is set off from the master bedroom, and can be closed of with the pocket doors. There are two desks one on either end of this work niche.

The master bedroom has a large double sink, and walk in shower.

The master bathrooms walk in shower is very deep, so there is no need for a door.

The girls bathroom was very simple, white with aqua and tan highlights.

The delicate blues and greens of the girls bedroom are set of beautifully by the heavy white Victorian inspired furniture.

There was a small work area in the girls bedroom.

Here is the boys or guestroom, yes that is a taxidermy raccoon sitting on the bed, and no I don’t know what they were going for.

The loft has a small work area.

The loft is a good size, with a large flat screen tv on one wall, and three chairs on the other.

The Dining Room was modern and simple, with the clean black and white photography echoed in the shape of the dining room chairs.

The Butlers Pantry was extremely elegant with cream walls, white subway tiles, and light wood cabinets, as well a wine fridge.

The Study at the front of the house was warm and really felt like classic Burberry.

Classic Study

The large living room had a very eclectic feeling to it.

The large great room, was given a feeling of even more space because of the vaulted ceiling and tall windows.
