In the entire Peachtree Bluff Series, my interior designer protagonist Ansley’s guest house gets quite the workout.

When this beautiful space caught our eye, we couldn’t help but imagine it to be similar to the gorgeous guesthouse that the Murphy girls all want to lay claim to.

The space feels homey yet streamlined, which is the best combination we know of.

And well-placed planks on the walls and ceilings add charm in droves.
