Southern Seaside Style

July 30, 2010









These folks in South Carolina don’t exactly live seaside (although according to the map, they’re a heck of a lot closer than I am!) but you’d never know it from their charming home designed by Jim Strickland of Historical Concepts, photographed here by Laurey W. Glenn for a feature in Southern Living. I swear I’m hearing waves after looking at all those breezy porches! That swinging daybed?! I WANT ONE! I love all those shutters so much too, you just don’t see them up here in Minnesota. We do have screened-in porches though, in fact mine is kinda like that last image. But I love how they have draperies made from waterproof sailcloth in theirs. My cute throw pillows and I could have used those during this nasty storm we had a few days ago! For more on this delightful home, head over to Southern Living! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 🙂

    Oh my gosh!! Dreamy.

    I'm also from Minnesota. That house may look a little out of place in my neighborhood but its fun to dream!

    perfectly dreamy!

    That house makes me want to get a cup of coffee and sit down with a good book. So cozy.

    How stunning is that! Love the shutters.

    Dreamy is right. I could not be more landlocked (in Nashville), but I think I would love having a Southern coastal vibe in my house.

    should be a law for having a home like this!! geeze isn't anything i would make different.

    Yes! I LOVE this house, I even did a post on it myself. I love all the breezy blues. I can't imagine ever feeling stressed in this house whatsoever. Although you don't have the picture of the kitchen up, I really loved the nautical-inspired pendant lights they installed over their island. This is such a great inspirational home!

    Oh wow! So beautiful! The light blue color is our wedding color and I just love it! I can't wait until we close on our house soon so I can decorate!

    I love everything about this! Yes, it looks like you'd step right out the door and take a few steps to the beach. When I saw these photos, I thought I bet this is Isle of Palms in South Carolina. Which is one of my most favorite places. This would be the beach house I'd have if I could. I just got my first issue of Southern Living….I got it because I used to adore Cottage Living and thought that they had incorporated stories into Southern Living that used to be in Cottage Living…but so far I've been very disappointed. I was hoping for stories like this.

    So charming! I absolutely love shaggy dogs too…perfection. For me, a house is not a home until it has a shaggy dog to live in it 🙂

  13. Synthia says

    July 30, 2010 at 5:12 pm

    These folks don't know it yet, but I'm movin' in with them. I wonder if my cat will get along with the dog. I love the carpet in the living room. I could use it in just about any room in my house.

  14. Chic Coles says

    July 30, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    I am so envious over that swinging daybed! I also love the zebra pillow in the first image.

    everything about this house is perfect. beachy, but not themey. cool and airy yet warm. casual yet totally sophisticated. perfect.

    Being in the Arizona southwest, a porch like this wouldn't exactly fit in, but it's loaded with inspiration! Someday I hope to have a porch just as liveable and inviting, just with southwestern inspiration!

  21. Kelle Dame says

    July 30, 2010 at 9:35 pm

    Goodness! I could use a stay at a place like this right about now. That daybed is just killin me! Love the cute and cozy feel of this place.

    I noticed I'm on your blog roll! You completely made my day!! Thanks Erin!

    I'm adding this to my Dream File! I love the contrast between the rich woods and the soft blues, creamy whites and soft grays.

    This cottage style is one of my favorites (I featured it on my blog a few days ago). Similar cottages are in Palmetto Bluff, SC.

    I think the architect is Historical Concepts:
