This beautiful Sullivan’s Island oceanfront home designed by Jenny Keenan is about as dreamy as they come! The Charleston-based interior designer worked with architect Beau Clowney to create the casual and comfortable beach retreat, captured here by photographer Julia Lynn. The team worked closely with the homeowners to make sure that their new-construction home had an old-home feel, layering old with new and incorporating classic details. Of course I’m loving the blue hues throughout, which are all the more eye-catching on the white shiplap backdrop! The walls are the perfect complement to the fab art collection too! You can read an article all about the home over at Charleston Magazine, and see even more pics on Jenny’s website!
I’m so overdue for sharing my monthly pics of Mirabel…she’ll already be 4 months old at the end of January! Once I get the camera out, she always gets so serious–but I promise you guys she is the happiest baby around and loves to smile and “talk” with us! Yesterday I even heard a little laugh. Can’t handle the cuteness!
Such a sweet pea! 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone!

Sweet little pumpkin! I like her name. How did you happen to choose Mirabel? It’s only recently that I’ve heard it and read it in a book. I think names are fascinating and have a great influence on one’s self-image. I had an acquaintance whose daughter—caucasian family–married a black man. They named their first daughter Cynnamon Spyce! My first reaction was, “Well, there goes her career as a lawyer!” I just tho’t it wasn’t a good idea for a little girl who would be living in a white community and dealing with her identity as different, to a greater or lesser extent, anyway. I’ve lost touch so don’t know how she turned out. Anyway, I don’t think Mirabel will be hampered by her beautiful name at all!
BTW, I did enjoy the post of the beautiful house, too! It’s just that Mirabel, being so cute and all, distracted me! ha, ha!
Thank you so much, Naomi! Marabel is a name in my family, but we liked Mira for a nickname so we went that route instead! Your story made me laugh though, Cynnamon Spyce?! No doubt she’ll have to correct people on that spelling!
Awww, Mirabel is such a little cutie! You can definitely tell she is Wesley’s sister, they resemble each other quite a bit, especially their hair and eye color. and skin tone. Isn’t it amazing how fast they grow? They must be the cutest pair of siblings ever!
Thank you, Kimberly! She is such a sweet baby! And yes, she looks SO much like Wesley, especially when he was her age! They grow way too fast!!!
This overall design is lovely!
So cute! So much love Mirabel! That place is wonderful! Clean decorations, cozy rooms!
Mirabel’s so cute! She reminds me Anne Egge’s babies 🙂 Nice photo! It looks like a very relaxing place to hang out
