The Views You Love

Island Cottage living room.

If you have property in the mountains, on a lake, at the beach or anywhere else with a spectacular view, you need to check out the Island Cottage. The open concept plan has windows that provide a 180 degree view of your surroundings! Imagine living in a home that gives you the kind of views you imagined when you first saw the property. If you want to see more interior pictures of this house, click this link to our post "Island Cottage Interior". All of the Southern Cottages House Plans are designed by an architect to give you style with a comprehensive design at a price you can afford.

2014 Azalea Festival Fun

Last weekend our office employees and family members went to the Cole Bros. Circus as part of the 2014 Azalea Festival.  Here are some of our pictures.

 Our employees and their families.

 The tigers were entertaining.

 The acrobats were fun to watch.

The aerialists were amazing.

 

 There were elephant rides during intermission.

 The balancing duo was impressive.

 

And, what better way is there to end the show than shooting a man out of cannon?!

Decorating Tip to Bring the Beach Home

If you want to bring the beach home, you can use wood accent pieces to create a natural, textured pattern in your room. This can be done with coffee tables, baskets or lamps.  The following are some examples.

Winds Cottage

  The Winds Cottage is a contemporary adaptation of southern coastal elements put together in a new and exciting way. The plans work well on a narrow lot because views are afforded front to back from nearly all rooms, even if adjacent houses are close together on a crowded waterfront site.

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the amenities of this house are a large living room with adjacent kitchen and diningroom.   The living room looks out to the spacious back deck, which is perfect for enjoying your evenings with friends or family.  It's also a great place to watch the sunset and relax.

 

 

 The Winds Cottage has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths on the upper two floors for weekend & summer guests. 

 

 

All of the finishes are customizable to fit your personal style.

 

 

We currently have three versions of the Winds Cottage.  It is available with a crawlspace foundation or a piling foundation and with a gabled or shed roof.
