Summer Home Tour – 2018

Hey friends, and welcome to all the new faces around here today!  I’m thrilled to be participating in a summer home tour organized by Marty at A Stroll Thru Life.  If you’re new around here, just coming over from the previous stop over at House by Hoff (isn’t April’s home just lovely?!), let me take a moment to introduce myself.  I’m Carmel, and my family and I live in Charleston, South Carolina.  It was a dream of ours to move here, and we were finally able to make that dream a reality about three years ago.  We couldn’t be more enamored with the area.  While we have loved our home here, we’re actually in the process of building a new home not too far away from where we currently live.  So this could very well be our last summer in this house…depending on how fast construction goes. 😉

Anyhow, on with the tour!  Welcome to our sixth house.

I just love all of the patriotic holidays summer brings!

As much as I love our living room, during the summer we spend pretty much all of our time out on the screen porch.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek around our home today!  Now be sure to head on over to the next stop at Dimples & Tangles.  I just love Jennifer’s colorful style, and I know you will too!
