Historical Concepts – Day One

August 7, 2012







There’s just something about a charming southern home that gets me every time and this fabulous one designed by the traditional architecture firm Historical Concepts absolutely took my breath away! Located near Bluffton, South Carolina, the cottage at Palmetto Bluff was decorated by Ruthie Edwards out of Hilton Head, SC, who layered soft neutrals and sea-inspired blue tones to create a fresh and soothing atmosphere. Doesn’t it all feel so inviting and comfortable?? I LOVE that front porch with all the shutters! No matter the weather you could be out there relaxing! The open kitchen is great too…love those marble countertops! Y’all come back tomorrow because we’ll be finishing the tour with lots more lovely photographs from Richard Leo Johnson/Atlantic Archives!

    The minute I saw these pictures I knew the home had to belong in Palmetto Bluff! My parents have a piece of land here and I can't wait until they start the building/designing. Thanks for posting pictures of this home, I'm going to refer them to the designer!!!

    Palmetto Bluff is such a cool area. I LOVE the porch. And, the separate sink areas is a great idea.

    This home is so beautiful and relaxing! I wish I were there right now sipping on a cold glass of iced tea… or maybe a salty dog cocktail!

    Absolutely gorgeous, love the porch with the turquoise shutters and too many things about the kitchen from the counters to the lights above the island. I look forward to seeing more.

    Amazing! Love everything about this home. The porch is fantastic and the kitchen is beautiful. Any idea where the lights over the island came from?

    I've seen thousands of houses online and in person and this is the most beautiful house ever. There isn't a thing about it that I don't like except that it's not mine!
