Monday Snoop – Not your average beach house

Monday 18 March 2013

I am rather embarrassed (and bemused) to admit that I spent most of yesterday removing fuzzies from my jumpers with my brand new Bobble Off (it was actually quite satisfying). Before you judge, know that if I said it was pouring with rain, it would be an understatement. Besides my obvious need to get a life, I also need to get some SUN!  So of course I tortured myself with images of beaches and more importantly beach houses. I stumbled across this weatherboard beauty and when I read that it was located in somewhere called Wild Dunes (Charleston SC), I knew it had to be mine. Designed by Herlong Architects, the owners wanted their home to be classic and sophisticated whilst being comfortable and liveable. I just about died of swooning when I saw that outside space! Now just how much money do you think I need to buy it?

  4. It's raining now, so I'm about to get in my car and drive there. :)

    I love the color of the house. So summery! Keep inspiring me with more house pictures. LOVE IT.

    Also, that bathroom.

  5. My friend swears by her lint fuzzy remover, though one time she got too overzealous with it and shredded the fabric of one of her cardigans! That house is spectacular. I needs a little something to break up all the neutrals and beiges, but I think I could make do :)

  6. Some of these rooms look like they're out of a modern fairy tale. I really like the seating arrangement in the eat-in kitchen and that pool area...(sigh)

  7. so beautiful. charleston, s. carolina is one of my favorite places i have visited (though i must admit i have only ever visited in the spring which is probably the best time to visit - not too muggy). there is such charm just in the air there, all the spanish moss in the trees and huge azalea bushes . . . i bet this house is even more fantastic in person.
