this past weekend i visited a plantation in south georgia that i didn't even know was there until about a year ago. my hair guru is getting married there this september and i'm her designer/arranger/cook/ventilation system (for those i'm-gonna-loose-it-and-i-don't-think-we-can-pull-all-this-together-in-such-a-short-time...times) anyway, i had to go check out the location to see what i've got to work with......this is gonna be a piece of cake!!!!
as you can see by the entrance, this is gonna be a beautiful place!! i still can't believe i didn't even know this place existed! it's on the far other end of the county where i live.
this picture is a little dark, but as you can see, it seems like the house goes on forever! and it does! i'm here at the end of "the east wing"
this is the front entrance. hair guru and her honey will wed atop (or almost atop; middle step to be exact) this here porch. we looked at some previous wedding pictures and it's gonna be so purty!
this is the front entrance from the inside. very pretty wooden door. it has a neat little lookout/peephole that i've never seen before. it's like a 6x6 square that you open up and look out of. it has little bars on the outside of it. i think it's mainly for looks...no pun intended :) you can also play pool if you get tired of hunting...or cooking! haha!
the house didn't look that huge from the outside, but it's wide open on the inside from top to bottom from bottom to top. the fireplace is AMAZING! i could almost step up in there without even ducking. i told hair guru that if it rained, they could stand in the fireplace and get married and have the people down front.....plenty of room! she said notsofunny!
by the size of this picture you should be able to tell that I WAS TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS KITCHEN!!! I COULD TEAR UP IN THIS THING!!! seriously! two refrigerators! a huge stove complete with a griddle!! dang! i cannot wait to get in this kitchen! oh, and there's sil...with her blog shirt on.
here's another closer view of the kitchen...and the granite countertops. and the big bad stove.....
and look, over there in the corner, that beautiful, nice and shiny KITCHEN-AID MIXER!!! no master kitchen is complete without one of these babies!!
and check out this pantry! love it too!
here you have the dining area. so pretty.
here is one of the 6 bedrooms. there are 2 beds in each room and a bathroom in each one also. can you tell this is a hunting lodge?
this is another view from the kitchen into the living room. there's an oversized big screen tv in the corner. this is an awesome place.
this is a coridor on the west wing leading to the bedrooms...the east wing looks the same.
there are turkeys perched high up on the beams in the living room and this big giant chandalier of antlers.
there are some gorgeous arrangments scattered all over the house. this is an eye catching piece. all the fathers are neat and woodsy.
this looks like an antique piece of furniture. the wreath is beautifully decorated complete with shotgun shells! does that scream elegant southern redneck or what!?
and who couldn't keep up with all their laudry if they had TWO COMPLETE WASHER/DRYER SETS!!!!! WOW!
and then you have your fire pit out back...similar to a tribal council. that thing is HUGE!!
hope you enjoyed this tour as much as i did. it's a beautiful southern hunting lodge.
