Beautiful Homes of Instagram

I admire and honor every single participant in this series – as you probably know by now, Beautiful Homes of Instagram is a series that features real homes designed by the homeowner. These homes are not staged for photos and I am not sure if you agree but it takes some courage to open the doors of our home for so many to see, right? For that, I am immensely grateful to each of these talented homeowners, just as I am for Jen of  @linenandbasil, for not only preparing her home for this house tour but for also taking all of these pictures and sharing all of the details with us. How nice is that? Please, get to know more about Jen and make sure to follow her on Instagram. She has one of my favorite accounts!

 

In 2015, our family of four moved back to the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia from Charlotte, North Carolina. We chose to live north of the city, and I happen to think it is the most beautiful suburb in all of Georgia. Driving through the community brings sights of lush green pastures surrounded by black painted fences. Peacefully grazing horses dot the fields of this small equestrian town.

When my husband’s job brought us back to Georgia (both of the boys were born here), we didn’t have a whole lot of time and wanted to get settled before the kids started back to school. We didn’t have the luxury of building a home, but luckily landed in the perfect neighborhood and the builder happened to be building a spec home with features that worked perfectly for our family.

My interior design instagram account @linenandbasil started as a way for me to document the photos I was taking of my home during the building process. I never intended for it to become anything more than that, but fast forward two years and I have found an amazing community of like-minded individuals that support each other in more ways than one.

About the home:

I was able to pick out a few of the design aspects during the building process, but for the most part, a lot of those decisions had already been made by the builder’s designers. Our home has 5 bedrooms, 4 and a half baths, and a little over 4300 square feet on the main and upper floors. We recently finished our lower level basement area which gave us another full bath, an additional bunk room, a workout room, a bar area, and a place for the boys to hang out and watch TV with friends. It also added another 2000 square feet of living space.

When it came time to think about decorating, I have to be honest. For 17 years, I had lived with the colors we probably all have, or had: the burgundies, golds, and greens. I was ready for something much lighter and much more neutral and calming. So, that’s what I did, and while I use pops of color scattered throughout, most everything has a very neutral tone.

This year, we have plans to move forward with some outdoor projects that I will share on instagram. We take projects in steps around here, because let’s face it…whether your home is 25 years old, or two years old, there is ALWAYS something to do and when you love design, there is always a project brewing in the back of your mind. So enjoy the tour and I hope you stay tuned for more…
