Grand Tours: Carolina Cottage Chic

Open spaces, bright colors, and bold accents abound in this Coastal Living Idea Cottage, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.

A side entrance leads visitors right into the kitchen. The house’s exterior was created by combining rot-resistant stucco and fiber-cement planked siding, a must in coastal locales. A small picket fence is the perfect spot to conceal trash cans.

Two completely separate outdoor spaces are created on this patio—a small dining space, and an outdoor living room. Teak furniture with bright white cushions stands out against a grid made by planting grass between pavers. Raised plant beds on the left side of the courtyard lend a sculptural quality to planting and doubles as extra seating. Tour the courtyard and all of the home’s exteriors: Watch the Video
