Along the coastline of South Carolina and Georgia is a formidable region brimming with homes rich in history and culture. Affectionately known as the Lowcountry, residents live below sea level, but their homes rest on a reputation of splendor and style.
The interiors draw inspiration from nature and often incorporate antiques passed down over generations. Furniture and accessories crafted by local artists find a prominent spot in Lowcountry decor and makes for a home that is filled with appreciation of the Southern coast.
In this ideabook, I offer a dose of Southern hospitality, a guided tour of Lowcountry spaces, and provide tips on achieving a coastal look in your home, no matter where you live.

Asian decor mingles with Southern style in this Daniel Island dining room. Black cane-backed chairs and silk-screened pagoda grasscloth co-exists beautifully with a traditional black table and brass chandelier. Mixing styles allows a space to feel carefully curated, not collected.
Treasured heirlooms receive new life when repurposed. An antique dresser is retro-fitted and topped with a stone vanity, backsplash, and bowl sink to create a warm powder bath whose style will survive another 100 years.

Capiz shells, nature's gift from the sea, add a third dimension to a typical vanity mirror. Coordinating honey-onyx counters take on the appearance of shell and are as durable as they are dazzling.
| Chock full of handsome antiques, this nurturing, monochromatic bedroom could be anyplace in the world. The ceiling fan, with its palm-leaf blades offer clues to the locale of this restful retreat. |

Powdery blue walls mimic clear skies in a contemporary Pawleys Island living room. The sand-and-surf color palette is enhanced by the gold framed artwork and made more interesting with pops of violet and feisty animal-print pillows.
