inspired: spring window boxes
My “outdoor inspiration” folder on Pinterest is chock full of gardening and lanscaping inspiration that has me giddy with excitement to get my planting on! (Once the weather stays warm enough, of course.) In the meantime, I’ve been poring over my pictures from past trips to Charleston a lot lately, especially all my shots of…

privacy, please
I woke up last week to the sound of a chainsaw and bulldozer tearing their way through all the beautiful pines behind my lot. It was like a knife through the heart, watching them demolish all those trees, but, the lady who is building on the property is not a fan and wanted them all…

designer love: miranda brooks landscape design
I never thought I’d be pullling weeds from my lawn in the dead of winter, but with it vacillating between icy, freezing temps and 75 degrees every other day, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing as of late. I don’t normally mind the upkeep, but with our bermuda grass brown and crunchy, I can’t help…

boxwood love
When I was little, my grandfather had the most amazing garden, with what seemed like every veggie you’ve ever heard of.

the charm of charleston
I have a love affair with the city of Charleston. I posted my extensive collection of photos of window boxes here and gave a little tour of one of my favorite shops, South of Market, here. Every time I go, I spend 99% of the time wandering the cobblestone streets, taking pictures of gardens, driveways,…

poolside perfection
With temps in the high 90’s here in the south, and humidity lingering around 89%, I can’t think of a better way to beat the heat than to relax by the pool. At first glance, one might think this fabulous stone-clad cottage was nestled in the quant English countryside, but it’s really a poolhouse right…
