Fall in love with every custom feature in this crisp W Virginia farmhouse

It would be an understatement to say that Heather McNemar has an eclectic outlook on life. In fact, as listed on her website, some of her interests and talents are entertaining, live music, beekeeping, falconry and interior styling. An interesting mix to say the least. With a list of hobbies a page long, Heather and her family required a home that would allow them to live freely in a rural location. They chose a house plan from Southern Living, SL-598 to be exact. From there they made a few adjustments, particularly in the kitchen to suit the avid entertainers. Once they were ready to start building they handed the tools over to their father's who constructed the home for them to their specifications.
While the home boasts many custom features, the kitchen is especially stunning. Its design centers around a spacious island with stone countertops and a sink for clean up. The Shaker-style cabinets are painted a crisp white and accented with nickel hardware. Unique details like the library ladder, curved cabinet feet, and beer froster make the kitchen truly custom. To accommodate the amount of effort it takes to entertain and feed large groups of people the homeowner's also installed double ranges and dishwashers. There is no doubt that this home was made for a life well-lived.
