The best Coast architecture has that something extra — those special features and unique details that make a home truly extraordinary. Here are some favorite spaces chosen and shared by Kyle Tootle, president/principal of Tootle Homes, and Paul Titus, sales director for Cretin Townsend Homes.
CRETIN TOWNSEND HOMES
KITCHEN
“Kitchens remain the heart of the home, offering both functionality and ample space for friends and family.”
BARN DOORS AND SHIPLAP
“Barn doors and shiplap are popular trends that our customers love.”
PATIO
“Plenty of outdoor space is a must for Mississippi living.”
BRINGING THE OUTDOORS IN

TOOTLE HOMES
FRONT PORCH
“Every Southern home needs a welcoming entrance, and this front porch is definitely our favorite. Features such as tall windows, antique brick floors, wrought iron railing, operable shutters with traditional hardware, solid wood doors, a gas lantern, ornate trim detail and our signature blue ceiling make this new home feel like it has been around for decades.”
COURTYARD
“Outdoor living spaces are a popular trend, and this classic courtyard is perfect for entertaining. We love the antique brick patio, gas lantern, ‘shutter’ wall, genuine copper gutters and timeless painted brick color scheme.”
MASTER BATHROOM
“A double-sided gas fireplace, custom mantel, cast iron clawfoot tub, tall ceiling, and antique-style chandelier make this master bathroom one of our favorite ‘new-old house’ bathrooms.”
FLEX ROOM
“The exterior door to the front porch and custom bookshelves in this flex room make it the perfect space for work, play or leisure. An antique-style chandelier also gives this multipurpose room a sophisticated look.”
DINING ROOM
“We love the tall windows, crown molding, classic color scheme and antique-style chandelier in this dining room. The space is not only intimate for entertaining family and friends, but also open to the rest of the home for larger gatherings.”
