Earth Tones of the Lowcountry
When picking colors, nature provides a great selection. Look around the Lowcountry.
That Smell
If you grew-up in the Lowcountry and you moved away for a while, you long for the smell of the marsh, the pluff mud. There’s no smell on earth like it; it gets in your bones and it becomes a part of you. I’ve heard a few transplants ask, “…what’s that stinky smell?” To the locals, it doesn’t stink. When you return to the Lowcountry and you cross the first bridge or hit the first stretch of road with salt water nearby, you roll down the window and enjoy the smell- the smell of home.
The Grand Old Home
Pick a Good Homesite
The sights, the sounds, and the smells from the back porch should be pleasant. No matter how nice the home is, if the location is bad, it’s hard to overcome. When choosing a homesite, spend time at the homesite. Listen, look around, and get a good feel for what the homesite is like. Homes can always get upgrades by way of flooring, countertops, and hardware. After the home is built, it’s too late to upgrade the lot. If an oceanfront lot or a riverfront lot is not in the budget, pay a visit to that rich granny. Pictured here is a 20 year old home in Palmetto Dunes. Ashley Ingram, General Contractor 843 986 1000
