I took this photo at the Robert Lange Gallery in Charleston, SC. Owners, Robert & Megan Lange have created a space (from their very first gallery) that is cutting edge, draws excellent artists who’s work is so creative it’s wonderful to visit and take it all in. The gallery itself is a work of art and that’s no lie. So much creativity – and the gallery – wow, it’s a beauty.

I’m in the midst of reading the best book (review coming soon) and essential workers play a big part. It’s a hard book to put down and I can’t wait to share it with you. All of a sudden this photo that I took several months ago became much more relevant.

So many of you have experienced record snowfall in the past month or two – and more specifically this past weekend. There were varied amounts that fell throughout the area. We didn’t have a lot, but the road did look icy yesterday morning. I snapped this once it had been melting for a while. It was nice to wake up to fresh, beautiful snow. Especially knowing it won’t be there long…

It’s winter in the Lowcountry (and is actually going to feel like it this weekend with low temps dropping to the 20’s and the highs in the 30’s and 40’s). We have nothing to complain about compared to the rest of the country, that’s for sure! Walking in the sunshine feels so good, it can warm you right up, pop over to the shady side of the street and you’ll need a coat for sure!

Serena & Lily breathed life into an old space that sat vacant for quite some time. Located in downtown Charleston (on the peninsula) this is a space that is a delight to walk through. It helps so much to see their items in person. It’s difficult to judge the size, color, etc. online. If you aren’t familiar with Serena & Lily, check out their website. Design inspiration!

Charleston, South Carolina. Where history has been preserved for many of the older, grand homes on the peninsula of Charleston. I like to refer to this stunning example of architecture simply as “my house”. This is not my house, I’ve never even been in it, but I’ve admired it for the past many decades that I’ve lived in Charleston. It’s always kept up to perfection. The doors, stained. The exterior always freshly painted. Never even a smudge, just beauty everywhere you look.

We ran to Crosby’s the other day to pick up some shrimp to make a FABULOUS recipe (see link below). They have the freshest shrimp and the best views around. I always take a few photos while I’m there. This one was taken from the parking lot. I know! Gorgeous…

We had a few errands to run the other evening. So we headed out expecting the every day traffic, and it didn’t disappoint. So we took an alternate route and this was our view. How stunning to live in such a beautiful area. January in Charleston, sunset. It kept getting better and better. I mean, THESE CLOUDS!!!! Wow…

So far, 2026 is proving to be a motivational, “get things done” kind of year. From drawers to moving furniture around (again) and the subsequent cleaning that comes with each move, it’s exciting to be in the same house, yet have it feel so different. Future 2026, make a shift from white walls to walls with color? We’ve always loved saturated color, darker colors. Then made a change to all white. Fresh. Now, it’s getting tiresome. Especially with all…

Well, now that we’re a few days into the New Year – how is it going? Sending wishes that it will be your best year yet! Many of us are striving to be healthier, eat cleaner, exercise more. Coming soon, a few recipes to help with that endeavor (and I’m sure a few that won’t). My philosophy is that to be good (eating wise), it’s ok to not be perfect. Allow yourself a treat now and then and then get back to it!

Happy New Year!! It’s hard to believe that today starts YEAR 15 of my ARTFOODHOME.COM blog! Crazy how quickly the years fly by (and to think I wrote it daily for over 10 years!) – these days I try to write 4 posts/week, sometimes it ends up only being 3. What I hope to share with you this year…

New Year’s Eve, 2025. Where will you be? I know there are so many wonderful plans being made. Are you one that can’t wait to get out on the town, visit friends, head to a party (or two!), have some great food, or are you one that prefers to stay home. Nice and quiet, maybe keeping your dog calm from the fireworks? I just read a few good tips to help with that…

January is almost upon us so we thought we would get a head start on health and fitness and head out on a fast walk. Somewhere different. We usually walk our neck of the woods, which is beautiful, but… It’s so nice to get out and walk somewhere different. Different views which are so nice! I had to do a good deal of walk/running to keep up with my husband because I kept stopping to take a photo…

What a magical night, Christmas Eve! Between the visions of sugarplums dancing in little ones heads, the preparation, the cooking, baking, shopping, wrapping, delivering and merry making, THIS is the eve of Christmas. Tomorrow, a celebration for many… But, I’m also remembering those who may not have a lot this time of year and may need a little help with food…

I love this photo. Wouldn’t you agree that this image embodies the true joy of the Christmas season? The simplicity of how it’s done amazes me. The simple beauty of the Christmas lights against the river and the nighttime sky = a scene I treasure. How are you decorating for the holiday season?
