Can I just say I can easily live in the screened porch!! I love the white furniture & the cypress stump table is unique! I love the ferns all over especially in an old lamp. Gorgeous! BUT, the piece de resistance is the lower level sitting room. OMG!! Unlike any lower level I have ever seen! I absolutely love the chartreuse accents. Thank you Julia for getting married......cannot wait!!
