Friday Photos - Rustic Reno

By
Real Estate Agent with Front Gate Real Estate Broker 11085

You never know what you'll see when you're out working. Yesterday while previewing a house in the Reservoir area of Brandon, I spotted a rustic wagon at the front door. Nestled between the begonias was a cozy kitten taking a siesta. 

Cozy Kitty in Rustic Wagon by Pat StarnesI continued through the house and felt like I'd walked into HGTV Land. Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE home projects and fixer-uppers, so I was naturally in awe of the decor.

The walls were lined with some type of shiplap, one of Joanna Gaines favorite finds on HGTV's Fixer Upper. I asked the listing agent if I could take photos so shown above are some of the quaint features in this remodeled home.

This particular home is a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath home in the Reservoir area (Northwest Rankin School District) and is moderately priced in the mid $140s. 

If you are in the market for a home in the Brandon MS area, put me to work for you. Whether you want quaint and rustic, or spacious and elegant, I will help you find your dream home.

What a sweet photo of the kitty! And the house isn't bad either. Thanks for sharing!

One thing I have learned about cats and old men...when they are comfortable they could care less who comes and goes!

Andrea Swiedler - from the first step into the house, I asked if I could take photos. I loved it!

Sheila Anderson - the house had me at the cute kitty cat photo op!

Kathryn S. - it was a Realtor Open House and if there hadn't been so many people in the way, there was much more to see. A church pew and a picnic table was the sofa and dining table, lined with fake fur and tree branches in the corners for decor. LOVE!

That cat napping among the flowers in the wagon is adorable!  It acts like it believes it belongs there!

Thank you Myrl Jeffcoat and Robert Vegas Bob Swetz for featuring this post in your groups. I took other photos but they didn't turn out. This house was precious, and so was the kitty.

That is a nice looking home. I could live with that decor very easily. 

The kitty is too cute.

Those are some interesting features and can't say I have ever seen a wash tub inserted into a vanity for the sink.

Debbie Laity - I can see you comfortably with this decor. The owner took tree branches and used as decor throughout the house. She really has a knack!

Debbie Reynolds - the galvanized tub made a perfect sink for this house. I checked...it had a drain installed!

Pat - Oh yes, I love the rustic charm of this house. 

BTW, I'm trying to create a shiplap article on my site, and I need some pictures/examples.  Would it be okay if I used the lower 2 photos on my site?  Let me know.
