When selecting materials for the house, I made a commitment to study and be inspired by South Carolina’s incredible natural beauty. It wasn’t hard to do, given how breath-taking it can be when caught in the right light and allowed to marinate a bit in your mind. Here are a few of my favorite pairings.
To me docks represent the ultimate pathway to fun, and their weather-battled patina against the sky and the water literally take my breath away.
Typically I am not a fan of dark green, nor brown, but when you look at a magnolia tree up close, it’s hard not be awed by their synergy.
Spanish moss is everywhere around here and if you can’t beat ’em, I say join ’em.
I even got carried away when selecting gravel for the driveway ….
At sunset, there is this burnt orange glow off the trees, and I think that drew me to this rustic finish on the sitting room chandelier.
What inspires you? Have I missed any other obvious low country images to consider? House isn’t done yet, so ideas welcome!

I am in awe! It should not be shocking that I had no idea how your choices for materials were picked. I just trusted that you knew they would work. And they do!
