It’s 2015 which means the clock is ticking away closer and closer to the opening of the Southern Living Idea House! We couldn’t be more excited that Providence Design was chosen as the design team for this new construction project that opens April 23rd. This nearly 4,000 square foot home sits in the Waterview subdivision in Roland, with an amazing view! We are working closely with the five builders on this job to pull it all together. We really want this house to be a beautiful family home, while still bringing fresh, current ideas to the table.
The overall cottage style of the home is comfortable. We’ll play on this by using a very neutral, light design aesthetic, incorporating creams, blues and gray tones, while adding textures to add warmth. We purchased some fabulous pieces while at Market earlier this month that fit the style of this home but will give it that edge that you expect with an idea house. Using what we found at Market as well as pieces from our store, new and old will pull together the whole look.
One of our goals is to have this house feel like a home, to look like an actual lived in home, not staged. We achieve this with an “undecorated-decorated” look that creates pretty spaces that are equally functional. Below are some of our inspiration photos that we plan to spring off of for the look of the house.

How cool are the black windows? We just love how they add to the look of the space.
We are really loving the lighter tones with this home, especially the floor! It has just recently been installed, and below you can see it with some of the paint options!
Outside there is a wrap around porch with a fireplace, which we are so excited about. What a fabulous place to enjoy the view year round! There is also a covered deck in the back.

Inside there is a formal dining room with a butler’s pantry that leads to the open kitchen and casual living space. So far we plan to use white marble, shaker-style cabinetry and polished nickel and chrome hardware. The master suite features his and hers closets, a coffee bar and a large bath.
We just love the way this home is progressing along that we want to move right in. We cannot wait to share more details along the way, as well as the final project opening on April 23rd!
Are you as excited as we are?
It’s your turn. Let’s talk.
