Good afternoon,
Just working in the office this afternoon and taking a quick break . . . and the new Architectural Digest comes through for me once again. Just look at the this amazing home in the Smokey Mountains, perfectly designed by the always pitch-perfect Suzanne Kasler.
“The (homeowners) love architecture and design, and because of it, they really push the envelope. Working with them is special, because you get to do things that are unique. They pay attention to the details of everything."

Seriously, how amazing would it be to spend a quiet afternoon out by the lake? Maybe it's just the good-ole-southerner in me coming out . . . lol. The property is comprised of several structures to accommodate any number of guests. But, they are all ready for every form of entertaining.
Classic Southern style paired with classic English design. I love the balance of the soaring ceiling height with the much more 'personally-sized' furnishings in the master bedroom. And when you have the glorious colours of the Smokey Mountains waiting just outside the windows, I love the use of the simple, pale textiles.

I actually love the contrast between the dark rustic spaces and the light European flair of the furnishings.
but, the best part is that we all have our own reactions to interior spaces . . . lol.
thanks for stopping by!
I guess my true hope is, if I were Max Sinsteden, this is what my childhood fort that I built behind my parents house would have looked like . . lol.
I agree w/ your response~~~ Personally, I am totally enchanted w/ these spaces... (it's easy for ME to LOVE THEM tho, as ANYTHING w/ stone, glass & natural elements of all types speaks to my soul. Think that's why I love our desert home so much!). SK not only did a magnificent job creating these spaces, but she obviously ALSO truly LISTENED to what would make her clients HAPPY... and they undoubtedly are!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Best,

Thanks for stopping by. I do think it's great that this project feels quite different from the other SK projects that I'm familiar with - it DOES mean that she's truly working with the individual clients.
. . . and the colors in the living room . . . and the bedroom fireplace!
Thanks for the detour.
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
i love this place , so warm, cozy & fun !
