I always enter through the MUDROOM, so I’ll start the tour here. My inspiration pictures for this small, simple space were surprisingly complex and numerous but can be boiled down to these priorities:
1) LOW COUNTRY VIBE 2) TEXTURES and LAYERS 3) NATURAL LIGHT
And here’s the result:
Some key details that were important to me:
RE-CLAIMED WOOD: The ceiling is planked with wood found at RePurpose Savannah – a local group that helps builders de-construct buildings and save materials for re-use. These gorgeous planks were formerly part of an old church in Savannah.
LAYERS: Each unique material builds upon the other, creating a rich, warm room. Octagon shaped slate floor tiles are accented with a sisal carpet, bordered by white oak floors and framed with nickel board planked walls – capped with the re-claimed wood ceiling. Now that’s #lowcountrylayering.
SMALL DETAILS: Building actual lockers would have created a heaviness and clunkiness that just didn’t fit the space. Modern hooks from Room and Board lift an open wall into modern AND practical.
RE-PURPOSE WHERE POSSIBLE: Painting and re-using one of my favorite chests of drawers from my parents presented a perfect opportunity to add a touch more of low country haint blue to the home. It’s perfect for holding hats, sunscreen and all the little things that normally get relegated to baskets.
