a touch of Charleston

Last year I bought this old window in Charleston. After sitting around for 10 months I finally decided to hang it this past weekend. I think it adds the perfect amount of vintage charm to our living room!

Charleston Finds

Since it was rainy and record cold temps when we were in Charleston I decided one way to spend the day would be to hit the antique stores! There are so many in downtown Charleston but we decide to drive to nearby Mt Pleasant to try out the antiques mall. Just a few minutes from downtown Mt Pleasant has numerous design and antique stores. I scored all of this at the mall for under $30!

I've been looking for a window like this to go in the guest room after I repaint it.

This sailboat will fit in perfectly for my summer decor!

I have big plans for these brass beauties...

We also discovered Nadeau, a chain of unique furniture and accessories that is now on my must visit list when in a city that has one. We got this fab bowl for the golf themed basement!

i'm back...

Hi Everyone! I'm back after a wonderful trip to Charleston, SC with Mr O' to celebrate our first anniversary. I have so many updates for y'all! First let me say how much I absolutely loved the city of Charleston. I went there expecting a lot, everyone told me how it was so "me" before I left. So I had high expectations. I have to say it did not disappoint. I loved the charm of such a small city where you can walk everywhere. And as everyone said, it was very much "my style." I had expected a lot of British influences but was quite surprised to see so many French details. The architecture was amazing and as a very detail oriented person I loved how there was not a detail skipped. I ate delicious food, shopped at wonderful stores (both new and old) and walked my legs off. Can't wait to go back. Here are a few pictures I took...
