I sat down last weekend with a stack of magazines to catch up on. I'll admit that I am usually not the biggest fan of Southern Accents because it has always seemed a bit too fancy for me. But was quite surprised at what I saw in the latest issue. I loved Architect Bill Ingram's new house on Lake Martin. While reading the article I remembered that his 'other' lake house was published in Cottage Living last summer. In honor of all of those headed to the lake (whichever one it may be)- I thought I would do a post on Mr. Ingram's old lake house and his new one.
.
His old lake house was published in the July/August 2008 issue of Cottage Living. It is a 750 sf. cottage on the shore of Lake Martin. It's small and quaint. I could easily spend my weekends here.
.
And welcome to the new house. He recently built this house after selling his old one. I just adore this house. Another one to add to my forever files. And I would really love to spend all of my weekends here!.

I love this post. His original house was amazing, but the new one is beyond words. You had me with the first picture of the deck overlooking the lake. The foyer is beutiful, and I love the open and airy feel to the stairs. I just don't think I could handle the all glass bathroom door (although, the door itself is just gorgeous).
I am always a big fan of Southern Accents, and I thought there was a special charm to this issue. I read it on an airplane, and I couldn't believe that there was article after article of beautiful features - usually a magazine will have a few, but this one had so many!
I really liked the kitchen and the master bedroom in this home. In fact, I have been struggling with how to finish off my bed - I have a new bedding set up, and have three Euroshams and can't decide whether to get two more accent pillows or just one more. After seeing the picture with the green headboard, I am leaning towards this look - one more accent pillow, probably with a monogram and a flange to match the headboard fabric.
I just adored his first home, but the second, wow. I may need to go pick up the mag just so I can keep that around!
BTW, I found the basket for my light fixture! Now I just need to fixture out how to do it. Any ideas?
umm, that would be figure out how to do it:)
great post. I love the living area in the first one. I am working on a contract project for my old boss. It's a cabin. These gave me some good ideas:)
i miss cottage living!
While I love his old one, his new house is just amazing! It is everything I could wish for in a lake house and more- heck, I wish that was my primary house!
I adore those light pendants in the kitchen!! I've been thinking about that for our dining room, to add some warmth in it. LOVEly!
love both of them -- and pretty much everything Bill Ingram does. the entry! the bathroom! ahhh and the kitchen and all of the wonderful horizontal panels. okay everything really.
Wow! See this is why I need to live in AL! I could easily see myself in both homes, but number 2 is really calling my name!
Hope you have a good 4th!
Love both of the houses....but I do believe that I still love the beach houses better. I hope that you and MC have a wonderful 4th of July and try to stay cool!
Wow, those porches are making me completely homesick for North Carolina! I am so in love with that bed with the green headboard--yums!
I remember his old house and liked it but the new house is fabulous!! talk about moving on up!!
WOW...would love to live year round on a lake. Both homes are so inviting !! I love the green bed with the little canopy...sweet!!
I have loved this issue of SA more than any other I can recall!
Love this house! I am picking up Southern Accents more and more frequently.. and it can be a little fancy schmancy (read: not quite accessible or imitable for my house) but they do have some treasures!
the new house is SO good!
Thank you for commenting on my blog! I'm so glad you found me because I'm loving your blog. Especially the last post!! I actually used to work for Bill Ingram in Birmingham and he was always designing new lake houses because every time he built one for himself someone would buy it! I guess the offers were too good to pass up. He's incredibly talented... and a very nice person to boot!
Thanks for sharing!- and blog connecting :)

This is a great post. Why can he have 2 homes and I have none? These are amazing pictures!
The second house is just amazing! Love that entryway and the kitchen is just divine! sigh...
I love his new house!! The floors are gorgeous!I'm loving all of the dimension of the ceiling beams and plank walls. It's got the casual feel of a lake house without feeling too rustic!
Both of them are beautiful and seem so cozy..
Just love the second home!
Happy July 4th Weekend ~~
I love the home from Southern Accents. I bought that magazine too and I absolutely love the foyer.
The way that fabric is draped over that bed!!!!! Be still my heart! He got that one (the whole house, not just the bed) right--all right.
I love that lake house - I saved that issue too, so charming
I am OBSESSED with that lake house! It is to die for. I do still dig the small home too. Something about all of that green...and the bleached woods...and the oyster shell chandelier...i guess ill stop there b/c i love the whole thing!
gasp! gasp! gasp! to the house and the boat! i will keep my eyes open for both next time we are down.
