Situated in the charming community of Homewood, Alabama, this newly built home seamlessly combines classic architectural charm with contemporary design touches. From the traditional exterior to the thoughtfully designed interior spaces by our interior designer, Laurie Fulkerson and plan designer, Crystal Tucker, every corner reflects a perfect balance of style, functionality, and warmth.
Exterior: A Warm Welcome
The exterior of this home makes an immediate impression. Cream-colored lap siding and brick provide a classic yet inviting facade. The natural brick accents add warmth and texture, while detailed architectural features lend a sense of interest. This combination fits seamlessly into the charm of Homewood.
Interior Palette: Subtle and Sophisticated
Once inside, you’re greeted by a soft, warm gray paint that flows throughout most of the interior. This neutral hue creates a serene atmosphere, perfectly complemented soft color and texture in each room. In the dining room, a unique shade of gray with hints of blue and green adds depth and personality, setting the tone for an inviting dining experience.
The Kitchen: A Culinary Dream
At the heart of the home lies the kitchen—a space designed for both functionality and style for this young family. Custom white cabinets from Twin Cabinets with bronze hardware provide ample storage, while honed marble countertops bring a sense of luxury. A white apron sink paired with gold plumbing fixtures centered over a bright window is the perfect preparation space.
Adding a touch of modern glam, acrylic seating with gold accents line the island, creating a stylish and practical spot for casual meals or conversation. Overhead, pendants made from natural woven materials tie in the organic elements of the design, softening the space and enhancing its warmth.
Living Room: Cozy and Connected
Adjacent to the kitchen, there is an intimate living room with a warm and inviting ambiance. A brick fireplace, mirroring the exterior’s materials, serves as a focal point. The room is furnished with a linen couch, swivel chairs, and spindle chairs, creating a comfortable and cohesive seating area. This thoughtful mix of textures and styles ensures the space feels approachable—perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings.
Powder Room: A Statement in Style
The powder room is a delightful surprise, showcasing bold floral wallpaper that adds vibrancy and character. Aged brass plumbing fixtures and oil-rubbed bronze sconces further enhance the room’s charm. This small but impactful space is a testament to the home’s attention to detail.
Outdoor Living: A Seamless Extension
Sliding doors off the kitchen and living room lead to a covered porch that offers a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The porch features a stunning cedar ceiling, adding warmth and texture to the outdoor space. This area is designed to be both versatile and inviting— an extension of both the kitchen and living room for overflowing entertainment space.
Dining Room: Elegance Redefined
The dining room stands on its own with its gray-green hued paint color. A pendant light with natural wooden beads and mother-of-pearl inlay takes center stage, casting a warm and enchanting glow over the space. Carefully selected by Laurie, linen cane side chairs perfectly complement the handsome dining table. The result is a room that feels both refined and welcoming, ideal for hosting everything from intimate dinners to holiday meals.
A Thoughtful Design for Every Space
Throughout the home, it’s clear that each element has been chosen with care. The warm gray walls provide a neutral backdrop that allows the unique features of each room to shine. The consistent use of natural materials—from the cedar ceiling on the porch to the woven kitchen pendants and brick fireplace—creates a sense of cohesion and harmony.
With its timeless exterior, thoughtfully curated interior, and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, this new construction home offers a lifestyle that is both elegant and approachable. Whether you’re drawn to the sophisticated kitchen, the cozy living room, or the inviting dining space, this home is a true gem that embodies the best of modern Southern living.
