Whenever I open up the pages of Country Living, I'm impressed. I feel like it's a magazine written for me! Every house tour is incredible, their product finds hit the spot and I love all of their recipes. And this month was no exception.
In fact, as I sat by the pool this weekend and flipped through the latest issue, I literally couldn't stop "oohing and ahhing" over an article that toured a beautiful, rustic North Carolina lake house. Lots of "Babe! Come look at this!" and "Ohmygosh we could do that!" were heard, that's for sure!
I was even more excited when I realized the magazine article photos were on Country Living's website! Score. I knew all of you would love to see this place. Let me show you why....
Emily Knotts, the homeowner, renovated her kitchen for... $31. Yup, just the price of a gallon paint!
Emily's husband, Michael, built this amazing table for $11. $11, people!!
Their living room is filled with so many amazing finds + projects. See that rustic shelf? Emily made it for $4! Hello, we could all do that! Beautiful.
This entryway melts my heart. The painted white floors... the metal pail... the old windows. Yeah, I'm gonna need to recreate this one day.
Yes, she DIYed the numbered stairs, sliding doors and barn door desks. Genius!
Now can you see why I'm absolutely smitten with Emily and Michael's home? So many beautiful images and, even more exciting, inspiring projects! I love seeing DIY design look high end. It's so refreshing!
To see more of Emily and Michael's house, check out the article in the latest issue of Country Living or on their website right here.
Psst! I started a new series on BabyCenter today. I'm asking all of you lovely readers to help me vote on certain items to design a nursery! Oh yeah, sounds like a good time, right?!
Come check it out here!

I was loving this part of the magazine, too. Country Living is one of my favorites, and this one seemed so attainable. Although, I have to say that she really has an "eye." Love that!
ReplyDeleteSuch an incredible space. I would have never have guessed the prices of some of those items. $11? That's crazy talk.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I fell in love with that home too - the staircase especially. The numbers are so fun and happy!
