The Copley Plantation

This post is a few weeks overdue, but it's one I wanted to share with all of you as this home is very special to our family, especially my Sweet Mama.  On Mother's Day this year my brother, Scott, Fiona, and myself, went with Mama back to her roots and took a trip down memory lane at her Grandparents farmhouse.  This is probably Mama's most favorite place on earth.  She always says she feels like she can just breathe when she's "back home".

 Built in 1885

Isn't she beautiful? The double chimneys, the sun room with overhead balcony, and of course the white wood with black shutters (my idea of perfection). 

Look at these cuties on the front porch swing! 

Pretty special for Fiona to be swinging on her Great Great Grandparents front porch! 

The home is no longer owned by our family, however, we are so fortunate that the new owner is absolutely amazing and allows us to visit.  My mom and her have formed quite the friendship.  

Here are few inside pics I snapped. 

 

I would love to pack our bags and move on in! 

This home just speaks to me! 

All of the original barns have been restored however, recently they moved all the animals to new homes.

And for fun...

 

Fiona obviously felt right at home too...she was a mad woman running all over the place! 

It was HILARIOUS! 

Mama and her "babies"...

 And lastly...a look back

We are so thankful to the Latta family for loving this house the way our family did and still does.
Thank you for bringing her back to life!

One of my and Scott's favorite shows to watch is Fixer Upper on HGTV.  If you aren’t familiar with the show, stop what you are doing and set your DVR to record!! You will absolutely fall in love with Joanna and Chip Gaines, the muscle and beauty behind each gorgeous reno!  Not only are these two ridiculously talented, but, they are one of the most loving and compassionate couples on TV.  It’s an extremely nice break from a lot of garbage {to put it nicely}  that fills our airwaves today.

Joanna has a few signature pieces she is known for and I’ll be sharing more next week but, today I wanted to share one of “Jo Jo’s” (as Chip calls her) go to fixer upper farmhouse meets glam pieces…The sliding barn door!  My very best friend Rebecca and her husband Greg are in the process of building their forever home on a huge plot of family land that will be oozing in old farmhouse beauty and this is one statement piece I’m dying to see her incorporate!  I can hardly stand the wait to see this gem!!

Below is few of my favorites I’ve rounded up on Pinterest for you all to gush over!  After your drool sesh, you must stop by Magnolia Farm were Jo Jo and Chip call home and indulge just a little bit more!
