Southern panache for your life

AHC is filled with plenty of exhibitions that appeal to all interests. You probably know about the History Center from Swan House, the iconic 1920s home that starred in the Hunger
Highlands NC is a beautiful mountain town set at what the founders at the time thought would be the ideal intersection of Midwestern and NorthEastern train travel. Little did they realize that their hamlet of mountain heaven was set between mountains that were difficult to blast through and thus the railroad intersection never came to
Okay so, this isn’t my ideal way to travel. I normally like to spend at minimum three days in one location to get a proper feel for the place, but when I was invited to the House Beautiful concept house in Nashville and could only spare a day out of my schedule, I figured I’d

I initially picked up photography
We got back from the Cote d’Azur a few days ago and I’m already having withdrawals. It might be one of my favorite cities to photograph outside of Charleston, in fact I’d liken this place to the Charleston of Europe. It’s so charmingly colorful, the climate is temperate and warm, and the food is fresh
I am a huge believer in mixing a little old with a little new when it comes to decorating. There’s something about the hunt for unique objects at Antique malls that make an item feel truly special to me. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia from summer weekend mornings spent garage-saling with my grandma (she’s
Now that the mercury is rising, I couldn’t wait to share my list of Atlanta’s best ice cream shops with you. I’ve done all the hard work for you by conducting extensive R&D visiting all the new ice cream shops and eating at almost everyone so that you can order with confidence next time you
