Drink up, so you don’t melt!

Some of us thrive in the hot weather and some of us thrive in cooler weather. I definitely fall into the latter category. Much of the country will see hot/humid conditions (just look at the windows, ugh). This week Michigan has higher temps than Charleston, SC and it’s not cool here by any means. It’s tough when you’re not used to these temps (for extended periods of time especially)…

The Walterboro Avenue House Plan by Our Town Plans for Southern Living.

A beautiful home isn’t it? We see many homes similar to this in Charleston, SC. Beautiful. With large porches to accommodate a variety of seating configurations so time on the porch is well spent and comfortable. Oh, so comfortable! Grab an iced tea and swing on the porch, read a book, take a nap – life is good! This is a great plan to fit in many established neighborhoods and blend in nicely.

St Phillips Place House Plan by WaterMark Coastal Homes for Southern Living!

Isn’t this house a beauty? I love the gorgeous front porch across the front and the to die for screened porches on the sides. How heavenly! When you want to converse with passers by, you can situate yourself on the front porch, when you want to tuck away and read a good book and can hunker down on the screened porch, free of bugs – or hey, if you just want to take a nap while listening to the birds chirp!

The Edenton House Plan (SL-2042) by J. Wright Home Design for Southern Living!

The Edenton House Plan by J. Wright Home Design for Southern Living

I love the lines of this house. It’s welcoming, it’s fresh and modern yet it would be difficult to tell if this is an immaculately kept older home or a new build. Each element compliments the other so nicely. The inside was designed so thoughtfully. Great plan (and fabulous architectural illustration!)

Tried this ray of sunshine, I am a convert…

How happy is this? After (finally) purchasing a Scrub Daddy that i’ve heard so much about, but wasn’t going to give in to the cuteness – I had to try it out. I mean, don’t say you don’t like something if you’ve never tried it, right? I bought – I tried – I am a convert!

Modern Farmhouse + Loft Plan by Prim Haus!

Modern Farm & Country II + Loft House Plan by Prim Haus!

Prim Haus is known for their fabulous house plans and this is no exception. While I do love a traditional plan I also love a modern plan. I would love to have this plan in the mountains (or by the water), can you imagine? The amount of detail is over the top.

Carson House Plan by Allison Ramsey Architects!

How sharp is this? Clocking in at under 1,000 square feet – this plan is fabulous. If you aren’t in need of large square footage this plan maximizes space brilliantly. It’s such a good looking plan whether done in shingles (as shown on their website, wow!) or in wood siding. Absolutely gorgeous, the inside is just as spectacular!

The Whites Bend House Plan by C3 Studio!

Whites Bend House Plan by C3 Studio

Wouldn’t this be a wonderful plan to build in the mountains of North Carolina? In an idyllic nature setting overlooking mountains and woods – I think this would be stunning. I would have it blend into the landscape so as to not take away from the natural beauty of the setting. This plan is larger than it looks, so there is a lot of room for living!

Centreville Residence House Plan by Lake and Land Studio

Don’t you just love the lines of this home? The peak is breathtaking. A nice porch welcomes you into your home where the layout is perfection and ohmygosh, wait until you see the back of this plan! This would be ideal situated on the water, but would be wonderful anywhere!

Now this is a gorgeous home – see real life images via the links in this post. Can’t you just envision yourself sitting on this beautiful front porch? What a way to welcome someone indoors! This is a solid home that allows some flexibility (mandatory for me) – it looks like it’s been there for a long time – kept up very well!

Little Edisto House Plan by Allison Ramsay Architects!

Isn’t this is a good looking plan? It’s not just a pretty face – it’s wonderful on the inside and the outside. I love the wraparound porch! This is a great plan to fit in an established neighborhood and blend in like it’s been there for decades. I would be thrilled both inside and outside in these wonderful spaces.

The Piedmont House Plan by C3 Studio!

Piedmont House Plan by C3 Studios

Doesn’t this house have a grand feel to it? The painted brick looks like it was built many, many years ago – yet freshened up and raring to go. This is a possibility for infill in an existing older neighborhood with similar style homes. Not that homes have to be exact, but their size and scale matters – just so it blends nicely with the existing homes.
