Hello, my wonderful friends! How are you feeling today? I hope you’re healthy and feeling positive about life. If that’s not exactly how you are, I share this house tour today with the hope that it will not only bring you some inspiration but also a few minutes of stress-free vibes. Aren’t we all craving that? Being in a state of mind where we are only focusing on something good, on something we love, on something that brings us joy.

Talking about joy, this home makes me smile and I think you can’t help but love it, even if you are not a huge fan of dark exteriors, which is quite hard these days because dark siding is quite popular. Recently built by Grande Custom Builders, this Charlotte, NC, Modern Farmhouse shows that a dark exterior works beautifully on a small home as it does on the large ones. In fact, I think dark exteriors look even better on smaller homes. Huge houses with black siding can look overwhelming if not well balanced with contrasting architectural details and landscaping.

Now, find a quiet spot, dream away with this charming new home and have a relaxing time!

Small House with Dark Exterior

“This stunning modern farmhouse, painted in Benjamin Moore Deep River, features a beautiful roofline, black windows, and black corbels. We love the contrast of the stone foundation as well as the addition of the statement front lighting. The front porch is open and large, perfect for lounging in the upcoming cooler months.” – Grande Custom Homes.

Warm Hues

I am not sure about you but as the leaves start to change and chilly winds start to arrive, I crave deeper and warmer colors in my home. This can easily be changed from season to season with a warmer rug, textured pillows and cozier throws. This home features a color scheme that makes me think of a slice of pumpkin pie and that’s something that makes me feel happy!
