When our newest edition of Southern Home was placed on my desk, my heart skipped a beat when I came to the article “Mountain Hideaway.” In the fall I always dream of living in the mountains where the autumn leaves surround you with an explosion of color.

Toby West and Tom Hayes own the most enchanting cabin, and I wanted to share a few of the wonderful details that make this place my dream home in the mountains. As we all know, I am a red person. The exquisite red upholstery and decorative accents are just perfect for the setting. I love the contrast of the exposed logs and beams with sophisticated furniture and accessories.
Each chair gathered around the table is different, which adds character and an element of fun to the dining area; their lovely collection of red-and-white transferware completes the look.
While I loved everything about the home, I found myself especially thrilled when I came to the bedroom appointed with a red-and-white quilt elegantly arranged at the end of an antique oak bed. I would never tire of this peaceful room.
The entire magazine is filled with beautiful homes where every detail is perfectly planned and presented. There is something for everyone and every taste.
What is your dream home like? I would love to hear about it.
