Second floor-<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n Today I want to divert a bit from the interiors (which is of course the most fun part) to the exterior. As we winnow down the process, we are having to think and submit our color choices to the board. I have a vision of a creamy white house with pale blue\/gray shutters. The aluminum roofs are de rigueur down there and they happen to look really good. Occasionally you will see a wood shingle room which I also like.<\/p>\n We wanted to preserve the integrity of the true “low country” style while adding just a touch of Hamptons to it. I love a look of long windows with shutters, so pretty. As I start thinking more seriously about a lot of the\u00a0 exterior features, I think I pretty much know what I am after. Today is all about my inspiration for the exterior, let’s go….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This house above is a great example of the color scheme I envision for our future home,Home Bunch<\/p>\n This is a beautiful color for shutters, Silver Gray by Benjamin Moore<\/p>\n Another great example, love this! Belclaire House<\/p>\n Really love the detailing on this house above, that railing!!!<\/p>\n This is an example of the metal roofs that are so popular, like this color, Southern Living<\/p>\n Isn’t this one fabulous front porch?<\/p>\n Wood Shingle of wood siding….to be determined, have seen beautiful examples of both-<\/p>\n This color light gray is what I am thinking for the roof-<\/p>\n Madly in love with these carriage garage doors (painted in my colors of course) , if they can work with the budget, I would do these in a heartbeat!<\/p>\n Another great example above<\/p>\n Another beautiful color<\/p>\n And you know gas lanterns are an absolute must! Bevolo<\/p>\n Another beauty, Carolina Lanterns<\/p>\n Who knew there are so many different shutter styles! Think I lean towards the raised panel or flat panel, a cleaner look<\/p>\n LOVE this, this color is Dior Gray from B.Moore, this home is from Jack Arnold, did my research:)<\/p>\n This beauty top and bottom is from the showhouse a few years back (when I first discovered Palmetto Bluff) these colors pretty much sum up what I am thinking…..<\/p>\n T Love the idea of either light herringbone brick or peacock pavers for the back porch-<\/p>\n Kind of moving onto the “fluff” but surely the most fun part……I see two gorgeous\u00a0 benches like these with some pretty pillows for the front porch, first impressions are everything! And down south a front porch is the first chance to make a great first impression.<\/p>\n And a beautiful pair of planters with a boxwood topiary….<\/p>\n These planters are from Authentic Provence Planters…so beautiful!<\/p>\n Something along this line-<\/p>\n Frontgate<\/p>\n Want to see how I can envision the front porch? Take a look….<\/p>\n So that sums up in a nutshell what I am envisioning for the exterior details..of course there is much more to come but this is an overview. As we tweak the outside elevations, we are moving forward and my fingers are crossed that we will sign with a builder very soon and get this show on the road!!<\/p>\n If you missed the other “chapter”s on the top right of my blog where there is\u00a0 a search bar you can type in “Bluff Diaries” and it will take you to the last four posts.<\/p>\n Thank you as always for stopping by, wishing you a wonderful day. Here it’s beautiful after a very stormy day yesterday which included a serious traffic snarl driving from the city, but it’s coooold today! Go figure:) Until next time…..<\/p>\n PS If you missed the post “It’s All Set” about the monthly tablescapes, you must check it out, click here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAbove garage-<\/h3>\n
