Hello! Just back a few weeks ago from one of my favorite places on earth,\u00a0 Palmetto Bluff and I am very happy to report things are moving along at a brisk and efficient pace. It was so nice to be there and of course the highlight was getting to see our house taking shape! The framing started and as we speak they are working on the second floor, to be able to walk in and visualize and dream each of the spaces finished was amazing!<\/p>\n

The framing should be done within a week or two and then the roof will begin. I have a few pictures to share with you\u00a0 and then its some highlights from this recent visit and why we love it there so\u00a0 much. We will resume next time on design and decorating topics for the next chapter as the best is yet to come!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So here is the house a few weeks ago while we were there-<\/p>\n

Below is the back deck which extends almost the entire width of the house overlooking the lake\"unnxcxamed\"<\/p>\n

\"unnzvzamed\"<\/p>\n

And here are some of the most recent pics that our builder sent as of last week-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These were taken from the second floor (bedrooms there will have a\u00a0 lovely view to wake up to)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This below is looking through the eventual living room french doors-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are a few reasons we chose Palmetto Bluff. We love that it’s a fully self contained community that has everything from many pool clubs, golf club, equestrian center, boating center, shooting club, tennis club, etc…and all are truly world class.<\/p>\n

Then there is how naturally beautiful it is, every inch is so beautifully maintained, truly its like driving into a modern day Mayberry. Not to be underestimated,\u00a0 is the proximity to iconic Savannah, a huge perk and only 2 hours to historic Charleston plus easy access to many other wonderful southern favorites like Sea Island, Kiawah and more….<\/p>\n

We also love that there is fabulous Montage property on the premise which has been very convenient for us to stay at during site visits. Eventually if we have an overflow of guests we can put them up in the inn or cottages and know they are getting a 5 star experience.<\/p>\n

Everything we could want is there, plus great proximity to the charming towns of Bluffton and Beautfort loaded with cute shops and wonderful restaurants.\u00a0 So here are a few pictures which even better illustrate just why this place is so very special-<\/p>\n

\"unnameddsaas\"I think one reason I so love it here is that it feels like time slows down, that the pace goes down a few notches and l just feel calmer and at peace when I am there…..<\/p>\n

All the “sub communities” within have the prettiest entrances like below-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is a new Montage Inn which is fabulous, though we always opt to stay in one of the cottages, the inn is quite beautiufl<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

They must have known I was coming, there was lots of blue and white on display!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"unfd3named\"<\/p>\n

The cottages are beautifully appointed-<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The cottages have a beautiful view of the May River (one side of them)<\/p>\n

\"aasdunnamed\"<\/p>\n

Love the generous and not often see dressing rooms<\/p>\n

\"unnamasd2ed\"<\/p>\n

The bathrooms are also beautifully appointed<\/p>\n

\"unnsda1amed\" \"unnamdfsed\"<\/p>\n

Every cottage comes with a pair of bikes, a fun way to get around and love that there is a dressing table outside of the bathroom, so proper and civilized!<\/p>\n

More pictures out and about……<\/p>\n

\"unnamxvcxcved\"<\/p>\n

Always have\u00a0 my “gas lantern” alert fully on:)<\/p>\n

\"unnamedffdd\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Love all the screened in porches for early morning coffee<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Firepits are everywhere along May River<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Come on….anyplace that has a portable smores setup gets serious brownie points!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is one of the new clubhouses (near our new house) which is just beyond gorgeous<\/p>\n

\u00a0And a few pics from when we were in Savannah on New Years eve-<\/p>\n

Being in Palmetto Bluff we spent a lot of time driving around and taking notes of different aspects of the house that we want to see-<\/p>\n

\"unnamefdssdfd\"<\/p>\n

Above we chose that brick for the trim and LOVE the pierced wall and chimney detail, below are the colors we are going with<\/p>\n

Suffice to say over time I will share much more about this gem of a place with you as we spend more time there, cannot wait to call it a part time home:) We will be there again in a month or so to do the electrical plan\/walk through and are plugging away at fun things like kitchen cabinetry, appliances and flooring. Lots more to come….the best parts are still ahead!<\/p>\n
