Happy September, my wonderful friends! Can you believe it’s September already? Oh my goodness! Is time flying just for me? In spite of how crazy fast this year is going by, September is a month that I love and that’s not because school is back. 🙂 For some reason, September feels calm, it feels as if we can finally slow down a little, look at the fall foliage and contemplate the changes happening around us. Life feels a little more still and perhaps that’s exactly what we need.
I am sure you will agree with me, but another thing we need – or really want – is seeing beautiful homes, right?! Do I hear a “yes”? Well, today I am really honored to be sharing for the first time on Home Bunch the work of the incredibly talented architects and interior designers at Purple Cherry Architects. You will be seeing their work often on the blog and I am sure you will be impressed by the homes they design. To start, I am sharing this classic shingle waterfront home that reminds me of the infamous “Something’s Gotta Give” home. Have you seen that movie? It’s been so long since I watched it! Perhaps I should see it again. 🙂
Here, the architect shares some insights on this recent project:
“Sited on Annapolis South River, this classical shingle-style residence provides two well-balanced traditional elevations. The gambrel roofs, diagonal divided lites in the windows, capped oval windows, and a large eyebrow dormer create a delightful presence from the street and from the water. Luxe finishes including a wood shake roof, shingle walls, and copper accents exude a sense of elegance, which carries into the interior.” – Purple Cherry Architects
“The essence of Annapolis and romance of the sea is reinforced with maritime details throughout the home.” – Purple Cherry Architects
