“Fall is a southerner’s reward for having survived summer.” — James Farmer
Have you survived the summer? Bravo! We certainly can relate to James’ quote since this year it has been a blazer.
But…now on to Fall. It can’t come quickly enough so we have rounded up lots of great articles to get you fully in the mood for another wonderful Southern autumn.
Our feature homes lean toward the epitome of Southern style. Our cover home might not be exclusive to the South, but it is a classic. And the homeowners have done an incredible job of restoring it to its former glory while adapting it to fit their lifestyle needs.
Then there’s the Charleston-style home, it’s definitely a classic in the South, whose owners have brought a totally different vibe to the interior décor. It’s elegant and glamorous.
Who wouldn’t want to live where they could have a river view and easy access to everything offered in downtown Greenville? The owner of our penthouse condo feature wanted that option and engaged his favorite interior designer to create a beautiful environment for him.
They had a good start since the home was previously owned by one of the family members who created a treasured entertainment complex, the Peace Center.
There’s a whole different type of house that you won’t want to miss in Digs. It’s truly unique and, I’m guessing, one of a kind.
Some fabulous recipes will whet your appetite for autumn in On the Table and you’ll see some treasured items from another era to light the table in Treasure. Check out the perfect sideboard for your dining room too in Style Spotter.
Plan ahead for all the party invitations and cards that you’ll be addressing soon as you learn all about the art of hand-lettering in How To. And if you’re headed to the coast soon, make a stop in Florence to stock up on pecans for the holidays. You’ll learn more about this interesting city in Detours.
Don’t forget to glance through the Calendar too for a list of events to look forward to in the next few weeks.
Have a wonderful fall season and we’ll be back with more in November. Meanwhile…enjoy!
