Bowens Island Restaurant. Always a favorite. Such fresh seafood with the most AH-mazing views ever! Sunset is not to be missed! What can be better than a fabulous dinner and a gorgeous sunset? If you visit the Charleston area (or live here), don’t miss checking it out!
After dinner we walked around and I snapped *a few* photos… such a cool place! The views offer such peace.
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Nothing like a photo from a parking lot mirror! My family was in Charleston and we were out and about, as we walked by this mirror I thought it was the perfect opportunity to catch all of us in a photo. Ha ha…

Walking around Charleston, SC there are so many things to take photos of. Charleston is a beautiful city, and sometimes you come upon a scene that looks as if it could be in a different country. That was the first thing I thought when I took this photo. I love the bits of light and the varying colors of the building – what a fabulous door!

Introducing the Bogue Chitto Cottage by Lake and Land Studio. This plan is only 789 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. If you add the wonderful front porch it bumps the living space (underneath the roof) to 1,155!
The porch on this house adds so much to the living space. At 26’9″ x 12’8″ makes the perfect spot to entertain, or to spend time when it’s beautiful outside! Can you imagine?
Last November, when our dog tore his CCL (like an ACL in a human) and had surgery, we were confined to our small kitchen/living area for months. Do you know what we learned? We can live in a small space. Maybe not tiny-house small, but where we actually LIVE is a fairly small area. This plan is perfect for a single person or a couple that doesn’t need so much extra space. Lake and Land Studio has a fabulous group of residential designers that can take a plan and tweak it to fit your needs. They think outside the box and their plans, well, they show it!
The people at Lake + Land are brilliant and creative, so if you’re thinking about a house plan, you may want to check them out!

I love crisp, clear images, especially with golden light! Look at the water, it almost looks black in this shot. I took this photo on a dock at Bowens Island (Charleston, SC) – while waiting for the sun to go down. What a beautiful location! Why is it so peaceful being near water? I love it!

The other day we stopped at Bowens Island and I took a few (ha) photos – I love how the warm light is hitting the wood walls in this image – I also think it’s so cool how it looks like a framed painting hanging on the wall, it’s a window – looking out onto what you see when at Bowens Island. Beautiful!

Playing catch up right now, posting photos this week, back to normal next week!!
Bowens Island Restaurant has been around for quite a while, with good reason! Their seafood is so fresh you just won’t believe it! Bowens is a very popular place for those who live in Charleston as well as those visiting. It has been written up in many top magazines – and when you pull in and look at it, it’s NOT fancy, not even a little. Thank goodness! Fanciness would not go well with the Bowens Island atmosphere. It’s down to earth and the food is divine, and the view… OH! THE VIEW!
Fred and I were there for his birthday and the seafood was as fresh as always. Lightly battered, which I love – the fried shrimp is our favorite!
If you’re in the Charleston, SC area, check it out – They are closed on SUNDAY and MONDAY, so remember that. Also, take your camera, the sunsets are over the top!

The 21 Bayou La Batre Way House Plan by Our Town Plans is a 2,642 square foot plan with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This plan offers a guest suite above the garage as well as a bunk room! I love how they connected the garage to the house with a screen porch, very nice! In addition to all of this wonderfulness, there is a fabulous front porch! So much room for entertaining or just plain living the good life!
Be sure to check out the details of this plan, wow!
Such a simple but knock-out floorpan! It has everything you need! It begins with a wonderful porch, then a great living room, kitchen/dining, master bedroom, bathroom, closet, powder room. I think it’s a wonderful use of space to connect the house and garage/guest suite with a screen porch, which adds fresh air to the dining room, always a treat!
The upstairs has two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and closet, as well as a bunk room – what fun is that?!! Above the garage sits a nice guest suite, which is always handy and quite nice for visitors! Room for a kitchenette (coffee pot and small fridge maybe), and their own bathroom. This house has beautiful lines, be sure to check out Our House Plans website to see real images for this house.

I took this photo while out walking… October skies really are the best, they’re just so dramatic. This was a sunrise over the marsh near us. I could have just stood there and watched the entire show, but Charlie was ready to move on!
Enjoy your Saturday!! Catch you back here tomorrow!
I would like to introduce Classic Colonial Homes, I haven’t featured them before and their plans are stunning! New England plans at their finest! This is the Wellfleet Cape with it’s steep, gorgeous roof and attached 2 bay carriage shed with 420 square feet of space above! What fabulous design!

They work with you to make your new home your dream home, and their website… wonderful! Look through the many actual photos of homes they have built, on their website, it really helps to get an idea, and WOW! They are beautiful!
The first floor layout is so functional! The master bedroom, bathroom and closet are at the far end of the house, which is nice. The kitchen and gathering room are open to each other, so the cook can be part of what’s going on in the house. The dining room and living room are nearby. This is perfect for families who need an additional living space, or it could work well as a library, etc. especially with a nice cozy fireplace!
The upstairs has two nice size bedrooms with closets, a small loft area, which is all you need and a bathroom. Perfect layout!

The Chestnut (NC0003) by Allison Ramsey Architect is quite the fabulous plan! This plan is in their Blue Ridge Inspirations I plan book. I think this timeless design will work well in so many locations! This plan is 1,979 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
The Chestnut has such a wonderful porch, which adds living space outside, a dream! You enter into the living room, then onto the kitchen and dining area. Did you notice those wonderful French doors that lead to the deck between the kitchen and bedroom? Master bedroom/bathroom towards the back of the house with a powder room situated off to the side. Perfect!
Two bedrooms, a loft and a bathroom upstairs. A loft could be such a cozy spot as an alternative to the living room. It’s so wonderful to have small spaces to get away.

This is the 23 Covington Court house plan by Our Town Plans. This plan is 1,986 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. There is an ample front porch, a screened back porch and a private balcony off of the upstairs bedroom and a screened porch off the upstairs master bedroom!
This is one sharp house, I love the metal roof as well as the carport, it’s done so nicely, with an entrance into the breakfast room.
Be sure to check Our Town Plans website for real images – they’re amazing!
What do you notice? Porches, porches, porches! Love, love, love! I cannot imagine how wonderful this plan would be during beautiful weather, when you can open windows/doors! How nice to fall asleep to a nice breeze! Do you see the fireplace on the porch? Another treasure! The main floor of this plan has a living/dining space, kitchen, breakfast area, powder room and bedroom with a separate bathroom. I like that there is a bedroom on the first floor!
The upstairs has a small porch off the bedroom and a screened porch off of the master bathroom – what a treat! This plan seems to have so much more useful room than some of the more traditional plans.
