As we mentioned in our last update, the rain has kept Legacy Construction off the site for now. But the pause has been productive. While the ground dries, we've been deep in the details that will define how Camp Kudzu looks and feels from the inside out.
This week, we spent time with Pierce Cabinets in Tupelo to finalize the kitchen design and finishes. We're not ready to share the full picture just yet, but we will say this: the kitchen is shaping up to be something special. Rustic warmth meets refined simplicity. More to come on that front.
The bigger milestone this week was locking in the color palette for the entire house. We landed on four Sherwin-Williams colors, each chosen to connect the home to the land it sits on.
Summer White (SW 7557) will cover the interior walls and trim. It's a warm, quiet cream that gives every room a sense of natural light without feeling stark. The kind of color that recedes and lets the materials, the wood, the brass, the views outside the windows, do the talking.
Polished Mahogany (SW 2838) is reserved for one of the three bathrooms. It's deep, rich, and unapologetically bold. A nod to Mississippi State maroon -- we couldn't resist. HAIL STATE!
Sage Green Light (SW 2851) will serve as the accent color throughout the interior. It's the thread that ties the rooms together, showing up in subtle touches that reinforce the connection between inside and out.
Ripe Olive (SW 6209) belongs to the exterior. It's the darkest color in the palette, and the most intentional. Board-and-batten siding in Ripe Olive means the house will settle into the tree line rather than stand apart from it. The goal has always been a home that feels like it belongs here, not one that announces itself.
Four colors. All drawn from the earth. All working toward the same idea: a house that feels as natural as the farmland around it.

As for Penny, she's been logging more hours on the job site than anyone on the crew. Inspecting the foundation forms. Chasing something in the distance. Contributing absolutely nothing of value. We wouldn't have it any other way.
