Home DesignCoastal Design Pt. 2 - The Crow's Nest

This next home was built by the Stokton family who bought a beautiful slip of land that teeters on the brink of the serene Fripp Island marshes in South Carolina. The home was designed by Atlanta architect, Dwayne Stone, who was asked to take full advantage of the lush marsh views. Constructed by contractor, Alan Patterson, the home has wonderful entertaining space and a unique feature I refer to as "The Crows Nest". Exterior view of the Stokton home on Fripp Island, SC Tall windows capped with transoms, broad overhangs, a satin metal roof, soft coastal green shingle siding and the playful crows nest perched at the peak of the roof make this island home a welcome addition to the breezy marsh land of Fripp Island, SC. Interior view of the casually comfortable living spaces The open great room space crowned with a vaulted ceiling and timber beams is surrounded on three sides by the amazing coastal views of golden and green marsh grass. Interior view of the open kitchen with o

Home DesignShould I Stay or Should I Go?

You bought a charming home on the edge of the historic district and you fell in love with its character and spirit. It was wonderful when it was just the two of you, but now that you have kids your priorities have shifted. Now you worry about the lead based paint, steep stairs, small bedrooms, and tiny bathroom. Should you stay or should you go? Perhaps your kids are getting older and that bonus room over the garage was fine for elementary age kids, but now that they are maturing and the bonus room is right next to their bedrooms you�re not sure it�s the best place for them to hang out. You want your kids to have a place to bring their friends with some privacy, but not too much. Should you stay or should you go? Your father passed away three years ago and your mom really could use some extra care, but your guest bedroom is on the upper level of your house and there isn�t enough space for you and your spouse to move to one of the upstairs bedrooms. You don�t want her to go into full-ti

Home DesignFrom Dark to Dreamy: a Modest Kitchen Makeover with Bold Results

Stained wood can add charm, warmth and richness to our homes, but it requires a certain level of balance to prevent it from becoming overwhelming, dark or oppressive. The balance in this project had yet to be achieved, but there were elements worth saving that would help transform the space from dark to dreamy... Stained floors, ceilings and cabinets coupled with dark red walls made the space feel tight and outdated. While a small island formed an obstacle that interrupted the flow and function of the kitchen and didn't provide a large enough prep surface. The dual loaded galley style kitchen with center island created a bisected space with narrow working aisles leaving the eating area underutilized and inefficient. The existing kitchen plan had tight circulation clearances and limited work surface. Foot traffic from the Foyer flowed directly through the working area and in front of the often used refrigerator. It was not conducive to entertaining or accommodating for multiple c
