I was so glad Debbie asked me to be a part of her home tour series.
Debbie and I go way back to the days of rate my space.
In fact I can blame thank Debbie for pushing me to start my blog.
I love looking at other people’s homes. My home doesn’t stay the same for very long since I am always changing things ups a bit. Here are a few pictures of our home.
Some are new and some I pulled from past posts so not all these rooms look exactly like this now. I told you I change things a lot.
For a little history about our house. Mr. Savvy and I designed and built it in 1995 doing much of the work ourselves while working full time jobs. We moved in six months after starting construction. Many things have been changed over the years.
The wood flooring was installed several years ago and we had the kitchen updated, too. All the colors in the house and outside have changed of course along with the ever revolving decor. The Tennessee fieldstone on the outside was added a few years ago. That was a huge change. The roof was a greenish gray when we built, but had to be replaced over a year ago after having hail damage so I switched to a brown to go better with the colors in the rock.
WELCOME Kim from Savvy Southern Style!
We had our kitchen updated a few years ago. When we built our house I had a totally white kitchen except the walls were wallpapered. We had white cabinets, white counters and white linoleum flooring. Yes, it was bright and white because our first house had a dark galley style kitchen so I went complete opposite on this one.
The powder room which was recently renovated and featured in Cottages and Bungalows magazine is between the sitting room and the master bedroom in a little hallway that runs between the sitting room and great room.
Let’s go upstairs to see the guest rooms.
This is the vintage nautical themed room. It is actually going through some small changes now.
This is the other guest room on the front of the house.
It is fun to see it all at once, Debbie- I am used to seeing a bit here and there as she showcases a room. It is such a pretty home and she has done a wonderful job decorating it- xo Diana
Thanks again, Debbie. Have a super weekend!
Oh Kim I LOVE your home! I’ve seen lots of it already when you’ve shared bits before but it was so nice to see it in one fell swoop! I didn’t know you and your husband worked on the building of the home like we did so that was VERY interesting! I love your decorating style and use of color. It’s always obvious when someone actually LOVES their home and is not just decorating to check a room off their list. A home is always growing and changing and that shows love…..the difference between a house and a home!
Blessings, Lorraine
I have always loved Kim’s home! So great to see it on your home tour. I love going from room to room to see how they all connect. Thanks Kim and Debbie!
I love seeing pictures of Kim’s home, Debbie! She has such a great decorating style and always finds such great things to add in. I can’t wait to see her full sunroom reveal.
Kim has such a beautiful home! You can tell that her attention to detail is remarkable. Thanks Kim and Debbie!
Kim, your home is beautiful, love the powder room!
Hugz,

I love your home Kim. It is bright, warm and welcoming! Thanks Debbie for featuring Kim.
Debbie,
Thanks for sharing Kim’s home. I bet it it even more fantastic in person than in the photos. I love how it’s constantly evolving.
I always love seeing Kim’s home. She has really done a great job decorating it with her wonderful style.Have a great weekend Debbie! If you need a friend to help with another review for an Adult Beverage, let me know…I’ll be right over ; )
Thanks Kim and Debbie. It was so nice to get this “virtual tour”, and have perspective of where each room is. I LOVE Kim’s house and all she has done. Keep it up, Kim. XO, Pinky
I just love home tours. I like seeing the whole house at once. Kim has a lovely home

Beautiful! I especially love the dining room and bedroom!
Kim and Debbie, Thank you so much for this marvelous tour. I have seen Kim’s home in many different posts but it so neat to see it in its entirety. Kim you home is sooo lovely and it is so much fun to see Mr Savvy ‘s and your
touch all over it. The bonus is that we got to watch while some of the beautiful touches too form.
thanks again for sharing, Ginger
It looks so pretty! It’s nice to see everything laid out in one post like this. I’m sure it won’t look like this though this same time next year. ha! It will probably look even better! Thanks, Debbie, for hosting this tour!
Debbie and Kim,
I loved the tour of Kim’s home. It is amazing! I agree with the others – it is so nice to see the entire home in one post. I can not decide which room I like the most. They are all gorgeous and magazine worthy!!!!
Love Kim’s home and love seeing the changes she makes! Looking forward to seeing the sunrooms new look!
Have a great weekend Debbie!
I think this was the first time I have been in Kim’s kitchen. I couldn’t tell what photos were newer or older of the house since it all looked good. Well ok, maybe I did notice the color of the mantel, she can’t keep her paint brush off that!

Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I just love Kimmie’s house and she certainly is a master decorator. Or is it a mistress decorator? 🙂
Thanks for featuring her lovely home.
I want to wish Mr. Doos a Happy Father’s Day.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 🙂
Love these home tours! So nice to see everything all at once. This is beautiful and Kim has great taste.

Debbie, thanks for hosting Kim’s home tour and thanks Kim for showing us everything in all one post. I too, love looking at other people’s homes big or small size doesn’t matter. Your home is gorgeous! I love how you are able to have pots hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen. I’ve always loved that look but my space is too small. Your sitting room, dining room and great room are so interesing. For the outside I love the garage doors and the big beautiful arched window in the front.
Thanks Debbie and Kim for the feature. I had a great time touring through your home.
Kim’s home is just beautiful! I’ve been following her blog ever since she started and always enjoy seeing all of the changes that she makes. Thank you for featuring her home today.
I thought I had seen it all! Love Kim’s home! The copper collection is growing!
Looks fabulous! Thanks Debbie, for featuring Kim’s home on the tour. I enjoyed!
I never get tired of seeing Kim’s home. Maybe that’s because she’s always changing something……lol! I get lots of “copycat” ideas at her home!

Oh Debbie, I have been there many times…if you can imagine that 🙂
Kim’s home is so beautiful. Thank you for featuring it, Debbie..Happy Sunday..Judy
I follow Kim’s blog regularly and I love her house!
And thank you for hosting home tours! I love to get ideas from seeing someone’s “whole” house and not just a post about a small portion!
I love to see all the changes Kim makes. She truly has a Southern style that could be right out of Southern Living. It’s gorgeous! Thanks for the tour Debbie!
Sherry
She has such a wonderful Southern style about her. I was fortunate to get to meet Kim and have dinner during the Haven conference. She is a sweetie and an awesome blogger!
Always a treat to visit in Kim’s gorgeous home. I admire Kim’s enthusiasm and energy. She is an amazing lady, not unlike YOU!
