A cozy nook in the kitchen. Great fireplace, great kitchen pendant light.Have I ever mentioned that I'm a sucker for people who name their houses? House names are always so personal and, like a storefront, they bring life to an inanimate object.
Note the mixture of the brick and lattice work.
Meet the house named "Woodlawn." Located up in the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia.
The house was originally built in 1797 and renovated in 2005. During renovation, the house was actually taken apart, moved approximately 160 miles, and put painstakingly back together. A somewhat amazing feat when you consider the amount of work involved.
There are many aspects of this house that should be appreciated.
The beamed ceilings.
The 6 fireplaces.
The aged wood. The patina of aged wood, with all of its chips and splits, simply adds character.
And the bathroom, a mix of old and new turquoise elements, is one that clearly would be loved by one of our favorite bloggers: Erin from the House of Turquoise.
Truly beautiful.

Oh wow, the home is just incredible....and then I got to the turquoise bathroom and I was totally blown away! What a colorful surprise! I love the mix of old and new! :)
oh my, i could live in the bathroom.
so whats your homes name?
It's lovely, all the more so as the fresh, painted look of the bathroom lightens the aged feel of the rest. I'd love to have a cosy reading nook in my kitchen, even though it would probably be me who ended up cooking while other people idly watched with their feet up.
This is a great house! I love all the wood and the big wide doors. The turquoise bathroom is my favorite though.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I'm glad you liked Mise's amazing view and the series.
Wow! What a lovely home!
I named our house the "Wee House", which is not nearly as romantic sounding as Woodlawn.
Came over from Erins post and glad I did! I have been wanting to name our home but have never been able to find just the right one.
What a beautiful home.
Love the turquoise bathroom! Such a delightful surprise. Does anyone have an idea what the countertop material is?
Anon: It almost looks like a neutral Cesarstone to me, but I was unable to find actual confirmation in the articles I read.
