Private Quarters

Photos: Cobb lake house gets personal touch

When Ali and Bob Van Dillen purchased their Cobb County home in 2018 they knew they’d want to make some renovations.

The keeping room off the kitchen is where the Van Dillen family spends a lot of their down time. The kids, Jack and Sydney, hang out there while their parents, Bob and Ali, cook in the evenings. The white Ikea sectional is perfect for a family with kids and dogs because the slip cover can be removed and washed to keep it fresh and bright. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

French doors open from Ali and Bob Van Dillen’s master bedroom onto a private balcony that overlooks a lake. The doors and windows give the space great natural light, making the room fresh and bright, and the Joss & Main bed with Target bedding creates a cozy retreat for the couple. Text by Shannon Dominy.

One of the things that appealed to Bob and Ali Van Dillen about their home’s master suite is the private balcony where they can sit and see the lake in the back yard. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

When Bob and Ali Van Dillen purchased their home in 2018 they knew that they would need to renovate the interior to make it perfect for their family, but the exterior Southern charm and the fact that the home sat on a lake had them falling in love. The house is 6,200 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

New quartz counters, navy paint on the bottom cabinets and new upper cabinets gave Ali and Bob Van Dillen’s kitchen a fresh, modernized look when they renovated in fall of 2018. Ali decided to mix metals in the pendant lights and faucet to give the space a bit more warmth. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

When Bob and Ali Van Dillen built out their basement, they decided they wanted to put in a bar from Classic Bars, who installed a custom bar in their last home. This bar ended up being the same size as their last, with a sleeker look. Tucked behind the bar is a fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.

Bob and Ali Van Dillen bought their Cobb County home in 2018, and they live there with their two children, Jack and Sydney Van Dillen, and their dogs, Madison and Rock. Bob is a meteorologist with CNN, and Ali is a real estate agent with Keller Williams. Text by Shannon Dominy. Photo by Reynolds Rogers.
