Charming in Charleston: Some of the Most Beautiful Homes
The porch ...from Old French porche, is a construction external to the walls of the main building proper, but may be enclosed by latticework, broad windows, screen, or other light frame walls extending from the main structure. There are various styles of porches, all of which depend on the architectural tradition of its location. All porches will allow for sufficient space for a person to comfortably pause before entering or after exiting the building...That's the architectural description of a porch....we all know, a porch is so much more. Growing up in the South, it seemed everyone had a porch, some grand, others small...some with large columns, others with simple screened panels. A porch holds many memories...always in use during the summer, spring & fall with small gatherings, dinners...celebrations..and in the winter it's our glimpse into the beauty of the outside, a refuge from being cooped up inside. A porch is also that perfect spot to enjoy a great book, a glass of cold tea or just to relax. My grandparents had a large front porch with scrolly white iron furniture...the ceiling was painted a very light blue. The delight of that light blue ceiling has stayed with me, all the ceilings were white or off white back then :)) On that porch was a metal white settee glider...what a treat for all the cousins..there were also several concrete pots with flowers & my Grandmother had a flower bed of hollyhocks on one side. When I close my eyes I can still see that porch & relive all the wonderful, fun times spent there with my warm, loving family. Sharing with you a few fave ideas for a delightful & memorable porch... Beautiful Southern porch at twilight... Charming Cottage Porch... Southern porch with the typical light blue ceiling.. Gorgeous blue hydrangeas grace this summer porch... All white country porch.. Lovely hollyhocks...just like my Grandmothers :)) Until next time....Cheers!
Two dormers rest above a welcoming front porch on this charming, Southern home plan. The smart interior flow provides all of the must-haves and more for the modern family. Upon entering, french doors lead to a quiet office with access to the front porch. The heart of the home gives you an open floor plan with the great room open to the kitchen and dining room. The great room has a 12' ceiling and comes with a vault option that gets you a ceiling with a 16'6" peak at the highest point. The kitchen has a sizable island with an eating bar and a large walk-in pantry. Stay warm in the screened porch that includes a fireplace, while keeping the bugs at bay. Discover the master bedroom, privately situated behind the 3-car garage, which features his and her bathrooms connected by a custom shower with two shower heads. Two additional bedrooms reside on the opposite side of the home and share a compartmentalized, hall bath. A large mudroom with built-in lockers sits just inside from the garage, and neighbors the laundry room with a utility sink. Increase living space with the sizable bonus room above the garage.

It's that time of year where the DIY projects start expanding to the great outdoors. You can see my post on How To Create The Perfect Outdoor Space {Here}. Today we are talking about curb appeal. I'm going to be honest, I rarely focus on the outside of our house. I have this handsome guy who lives with me that loves being outside and getting down in the dirt while doing projects outside. & I'm usually inside covered in paint & glue doing something messy creative. But once in a while I like to get outside with the hubs & make
