Serene in South Carolina

Monday, January 12, 2015

We have often visited Charleston to see friends. It is one of my favorite Southern cities. Well, probably just my favorite.


I saw this house gallery a couple weeks ago but thought of it again today while I was getting a massage. On a side note, I'll really miss the spa/onsen experience here in Japan. It is so part of Japanese culture which makes it is very affordable, clean and relaxing but to me, it still feels like a luxury. As I was looking up, I noticed of all the walls were this serene blue-green, much like this house's palette. What is it about that color that just relaxes a person?

I don't normally enter contests and I never win blog giveaways or anything of that nature. But I saw the One Kings Lane Pinterest Contest to describe your perfect summer day and thought, "what a fun idea!" And since I've become a pinning maniac, all the better. So my perfect day is all about Charleston, SC.

Before we get started, here's a little snippet from OKL - neat huh?


In the spirit of summer, I designed my board inspired by a recent visit in Charleston to see family. I'm not from there but I love the spirit of the city and it was probably our last visit for some time once we move overseas. Despite the sweltering summer heat, I think that's a perfect town for a perfect summer day. Maybe start with a day sail in a small boat on the harbor, a picnic aboard perhaps followed by a swim, afternoon cocktails on the piazza and finally a late dinner on the town. Sounds like fun, don't you think? You can see my entire board here.

And of course, my favorite summer sip, a simple Tom Collins.

I've been so admiring this room from a current real estate listing in Charleston, SC. Actually, I adore all the rooms so I highly suggest checking out the swoon-worthy listing.  images from Daniel Ravenel
