SERENITY NOW. Peace abounds in the "Annie" Villa. "It has that contemporary, yet whimsical, feel that's synonymous with the designer," Sara says. In quirky and fashionable Annie Selke aesthetic, it only made sense to style the space with three large vases of foliage stems from her neighbors' yard, along with a bright, happy bowl of lemons.
WINSOME WALLPAPER. Two printed Annie Selke wallpapers delightfully dominate the visuals of the villa. "I found the 'Lovely Lemon wallpaper first and then the 'Botanical' wallpaper," Sara says. She loves how the two look together, especially because the greens in both wallpapers coordinate: yet, there's only yellow in one, giving just the right amount of contrast.
HIGH ARCH. A clear sight line flows from the dining room through the galley kitchen and ends at a small alcove that holds the fridge. Each arch is highlighted with a different wall treatment. One has been painted, and the other has the happy lemon wallpaper, giving them their own accents.
Mixed wallpaper prints and bright colors fill the "Annie" Villa (named as a salute to designer Annie Selke, one of our generous sponsors), giving it a vintage exuberance that will stay with guests long after they leave for home.
Although the joyful interiors have an effortless quality to them, they're the result of several months of all-hands-on-deck, muscle-and-hustle, pedal-to-the-metal work, all orchestrated and overseen by Sara McDaniel of Simply Southern Cottage.
PERFECT PROPORTIONS. Because the galley kitchen is delightfully cozy, Sara made sure everything was proportional to it, including the appliances. "Tinier appliances from Forte Appliances were selected to fit the overall size of the space," she says. In addition, the light, bright and airy nature of the colors and cabinetry also makes the kitchen feel intimate, not cramped.
