Just look at all the wonderful textures. That’s the thing about Charleston. There are the pristine homes, where every details is the ultimate in perfection. There are homes that are historic and some of the details show time, wear and tear. Those home interest me. They are not falling down by any means. These are large, beautiful homes and those imperfections just make it that much more wonderful!
The fern poking through the brick screams THE IMPOSSIBLE… IS POSSIBLE, you just have to believe in it!
Have a great week – Catch you back here tomorrow!
There is nothing like walking around downtown Charleston, SC. Beautiful streets, alleyways that look like they’re back in time (well, they are!). I love this cool, old brick. You can walk for a long time and not even realize it. If you’ve never been, you may want to add Charleston to your bucket list!

This is more than just a photo of a cool, old house with fascinating windows… Just look at all the textures, the different materials, the reflections in the windows – beautiful and unexpected!

A day at the beach… what fun!

Taking a few days off, so I am posting photos this week – back to normal posting next week.

One day Fred and I were walking home from Half Moon Outfitters, we were walking behind the shopping center near our house, and I saw this spectacular “shadow show”, as I like to refer to it.
How cool is that?? Never overlook the little things, sometimes they turn out to be the biggest!

What a great shot! We were walking down King Street last month when Charlie halted and jumped up on a window. The store was closed. Then something moved… a cat! They had a stare down for a bit… then we went on our merry way. Never know what you’ll see in Charleston.

492 is a beautiful restaurant located on King Street in Charleston, SC. What a classy looking building. Kudos to a restaurant that takes an building that sat vacant since Hurricane Hugo in the early 90’s!
Check out their website for the current menu offerings (eyes roll back in head). Cannot wait to try this place!
Read a little about the history of Four Ninety Two, from their website:
During the renovation of 492 King Street, historical significance and attention to detail played a large role in creating the new space. The building dates back to the late 1800s when clothiers such as Reuben’s, Leon’s and Bluestein’s were a large part of the economy in Charleston, especially in the Upper King Street district. The button wall art installation in the main dining room, an interpretation of Chef Whiting’s photograph of sous vide leeks, pays homage to that history. Additionally, the fabric ceiling in the downstairs dining area is a replica of a 1902 city map.
The gates that enclose the courtyard were inspired by 30” x 40” Sanborn street maps of different colors, patterns and scale found while researching the building’s origins. As executed, the red rectangles show the 492 King location in an abstracted version of the 1884 map, noted by the circle. All the other lines represent the surrounding streets.
The building sat abandoned since Hurricane Hugo until it being purchased by the Relish Restaurant Group. During renovations, spearheaded by local architect Reggie Gibson, as much of the original building was left intact as possible. The red color in the dining room, called “eating room red,” and the “piazza blue” on the upstairs hall ceiling are both historic paint colors. The base of the bar is paneled in old tin that served as the ground floor ceiling of the existing building, reflecting a dedication to preserving and restoring this unique piece of Charleston’s history.

On a recent trip downtown (Charleston, SC) Fred, Charlie and I perused the local stores, one being Anthropologie. They have such a unique selection of both clothes and home goods. I love this place! Look at this tree, how brilliant! They used what I would call “O” Rings into the floor (I’m not sure if that was what was in the ceiling as well?), then they strung this cool stuff to make a unique Christmas tree.
I love seeing the stores downtown all dressed up for the holidays!
