Charleston

On a recent visit to a client in Charleston, SC, I spent a little time exploring this unique town full of amazing architecture and southern charm.


I happened upon this quaint church which I thought was a beautiful example of low country architecture. It feels casual but with wonderful attention to detail.


Here you can see the wood plank walls, typical of this region. The contrast of the wood stained door and copper gutters against the wood adds a wonderful richness to the building.


I love the windows and shutters on this elevation. I also look forward to seeing the patina that the copper shed roof will take on over time.


And settled in amongst trees. The symmetry of the chapel adds to the charm.

After my quiet visit to this church I ventured in town to visit Celadon on a recommendation from a friend. Thanks Colleen Gresh for the good advice! Such an adorable store with gorgeous finds and displays. It's a treat to just walk through. Here they are on Pinterest.


I took more than a few images from this store...


 
 
I was in the market for a new desk, so these caught my eye.



Some fun "found" objects.



The children's area was adorable and had lots of fantastic items for gifts.

 
I loved the merchandising of this area - such an interesting way to display faux foliage!
 

Great little accent chair.



I have been seeing a lot of studded accents in fashion lately (hoping Santa might bring me a Chloe Marcie Studded Satchel for xmas this year) - just some examples of how that look translates into furniture.



This lamp looks very beachy to me - nice to find pieces that have the essence of a theme without being too literal.
 
If you live in the area or have the good fortune to vacation nearby - definitely worth the trip!
