our new year’s Intentions

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year." -Ralph Waldo Emerson Happy New Year, friends! With covid rearing its ugly head, it may not feel like we've turned a page to embrace a bright, clean slate. We've been reminding ourselves that, despite external circumstances, we still have the ability to choose our mindsets. Our thoughts and perceptions determine how well we live our lives and whether or not we make the changes that enhance the quality of our days. They also lead us to choose joy over anxiety and defeat. While we've never lov[...]

Designer vignettes that inspire

Charleston, SC

As mentioned in a previous post, we were delighted to attend Illumination Charleston and have the opportunity to tour the historic Aiken-Rhett House last weekend. In addition to the gorgeous Christmas florals and greenery that adorned the mansion, the house featured modern furniture arrangements and inspirational vignettes by top Southeast designers. From the gracious piazza designed by Amanda Lindroth to the intimate library fashioned by Jason Reeves, each space had a distinct vibe despite being under the same roof of one very historic property. Let's have a look[...]

Christmastime in charleston

I've got a confession. I'm more than a little behind on Christmas prep and my house is an absolute wreck. For the last week or so, our half-decorated tree has stood in the family room corner looking forlorn, along with half a dozen storage bins filled with wreaths and garland waiting to be fluffed. December has gotten off to a busy start and there's been a number of work and social events, causing me to lose some of the steam I had when we first pulled everything down from the attic. Regardless, I'm determined to have our house decorated by the end of the day! The[...]

Christmas Books to lift the holiday spirit

Charleston, SC

The lead up to Christmas can often become hectic and over-scheduled. We all know the epicenter of the holiday season is family and friends, but the amount of commitments can often lead us to feeling stressed and anxious. Lori and I both occasionally like to retreat and recharge with our nose stuck in a book. We’ve put together a list of book recommendations to spread some Christmas cheer (and give you some much needed escapism). Whether you love a classic, historical fiction or a rom-com, we’ve got a book for you. You might even discover a great gift for a fel[...]

MAKING THE HOLIDAYS BRIGHT FOR at risk CHILDREN & YOUTH

"That's where the joy is, in helping others." --Denzel Washington Farrah and I recently had the honor of attending a fundraising gala for Lowcountry Orphan Relief (LOR), an organization here in the Charleston area that benefits some of the most vulnerable children in the state of South Carolina. Through a number of programs and countless volunteers, LOR works to provide basic life necessities to lowcountry youth identified as at-risk or suffering from abandonment, abuse and/or neglect.Prior to last week's gala, I once heard LOR's founder speak and was literal[...]
