That chandelier was calling my name..
We are heading through those doors out onto the upstairs front yard balcony

Where we saw some of the most magnificent views ever.
Think I am camping out right here forever....

The currant home owners who bought the home in 2004 planted 13 Oak trees in honor of the homes address.

Welcome to Savannah Plush
I don't know a lot about Savannah Plush other than this workshop is awesome.. and the homeowners are the creative owners .. All of the pillows and
bags you see are theirs..
I could feel the creative energies just bouncing all around.
This place was made for creative souls to come alive..
They are still working on their web site you can read about their products here Savannah Plush                         

to the right of the workshop was beautiful sitting areas
and a big brick fireplace

I did not get a great picture of the fireplace
but do you see the sconces on it ...
They are grapes and some kind of gorgeous ...

isn't this beautiful .. I fell madly in love with
 all of the outdoor lighting ..

see told ya'll and there was 2 of them..
my girlfriend Bobbie would love these..

there was 3 or 4 different seating areas and lots of tables

Ta Da ...  my favorite piece of the day 

This piece was magnificent the pictures don't begin to show how awesome it really is..

An 1800's chicken coop original to the property..
Wish I had thought to sneak us a peek inside.

and lastly lots of cute little birdhouses hanging in a tree.. Which made me a little sad, my willow I lost this year had lots of little birdhouse chimes hanging in it
that I have really missed hearing....
Hope ya'll enjoyed..
 This was just the right side of the back yard ..lol

Our next house was the newest home on the tour.
Look at that big front porch and the wrap around on the right.
This home was beautiful on the inside and out.
Again wish I could have taken inside pictures to share.

The back porch was just as big as the front
I'm loving this old table it is awesome it had two drawers in it.
don't you just love that they lifted it with old brick

pretty

didn't realize I had 3 pictures of the table ..lol
guess I really do love it... 

The entire back porch was screen and then on each end was open porches

The door to the left goes into the master suite
Wouldn't you love to crawl right up into this
daybed/ over sized chair and hangout...

This little sitting area was upstairs off of the bedroom area from here you can see all the beauty that surrounds
Isle of Hope.

lots of marshland, water, docks, dock houses and more spectacular homes

big back yard

a great spot to hang out and have family gatherings

firepit and treehouse

looks like a perfect place to spend a fall evening

and now we leave this beautiful home
