Southern Exposure: Texas Country Modern

A few years ago, my husband and I entertained the idea of finding/building a little mountain getaway in the nearby North Georgia mountains. We searched far and wide and never did find the majestic view or site we were searching for. But we did have a distinct and singular vision of the type of house where we wanted to set up camp. After spotting this Texas retreat designed by architect Trey Rabke, I feel as though he crawled into my mind and put onto solid land the home that had been dwelling inside my head. I love the way this house blends seamlessly into its surrounding landscape, the use of rustic elements and the simple, commonsense details such as the galvanized troughs turned bathtubs. Great design doesn't have to be elaborate. Here's an example of making the most of modest materials. I'm ready to move in.

Love at First Sight

This place makes my head spin, my heart palpitate, and my knees buckle. I'm about ten shades of happy looking at these photos. What an absolutely spectacular home and I simply can't get enough of those windows and doors. One of the most unique, interesting and drool-worthy spaces I have ever spied!
