House Tour: Charming in Lake Keowee

Happy Monday, chic readers! We’re feeling like a trip to the lake today! How about you?

This beyond gorgeous Lake Keowee home by TS Adams Studio Architect and Barbara Westbrook Design, photographed by Emily Followill Photography is the perfect escape for a crisp fall day.

With a touch of rustic charm and plenty comfy spaces for curling up with a good book, it’s the perfect place to getaway.

Doesn’t this chic centerpiece just scream fall?

And this cozy bedroom is just the kind of place we’d like to spend our cooler evenings.

Speaking of perfect fall spots… This soaking tub is stunning!

And a wood vanity adds a rustic feel to the bathroom.

Porch sitting is at its very finest in this beautiful home.

And, as expected, the outside is just as fabulous as the inside! We’re so glad you came on this fun lake getaway with us today! We hope it make these few minutes of your day feel like a retreat!

Thanks for spending your fall with Design Chic. We love it when you stop by!

In Good Taste: Jenkins Interiors

If you’ve been around Design Chic for any length of time, you know we’re big fans of Jenkins Interiors.

They are absolute experts at creating clean yet cozy spaces,

That blend the right amount of traditional feel with perfect pops of color and whimsy.

From a staid vignette,

To a charming and lighthearted living room,

A colorful sitting space,

To a breathtaking butler’s pantry, these versatile designers leave their mark on every space they touch.

Talk about the perfect details! These curtains are so lovely!

A bedroom becomes an experience with Jenkins Interiors.

Case in point: We can’t think of anything much chicer than a lucite canopy bed. We’re having major envy over this one!

Jenkins Interiors never forgets about the kids, either! From a sweet nursery,

To a darling bunk room, the youngest members of the family’s spaces are well designed!

Swoonworthy closets…

Pinterest-worthy baths…

There’s nothing that Jenkins Interiors can’t do simply perfectly–which is why we think their work is always in good taste!

More about Under the Southern Sky:

Recently separated Amelia Buxton, a dedicated journalist, never expected that uncovering the biggest story of her career would become deeply personal. But when she discovers that a cluster of embryos belonging to her childhood friend Parker and his late wife Greer have been deemed “abandoned,” she’s put in the unenviable position of telling Parker—and dredging up old wounds in the process.

Parker has been unable to move forward since the loss of his beloved wife three years ago. He has all but forgotten about the frozen embryos, but once Amelia reveals her discovery, he knows that if he ever wants to get a part of Greer back, he’ll need to accept his fate as a single father and find a surrogate.

Each dealing with their own private griefs, Parker and Amelia slowly begin to find solace in one another as they navigate an uncertain future against the backdrop of the pristine waters of their childhood home, Buxton Beach. The journey of self-discovery leads them to an unforgettable and life-changing lesson: Family—the one you’re born into and the one you choose—is always closer than you think.

From “the next major voice in Southern fiction” (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Under the Southern Sky is a fresh and unforgettable exploration of love, friendship, and the unbreakable ties that bind.

MORE ABOUT FEELS LIKE FALLING:

It’s summertime on the North Carolina coast and the livin’ is easy. Unless, that is, you’ve just lost your mother to cancer, your sister to her extremist husband, and your husband to his executive assistant. Meet Gray Howard. Right when Gray could use a serious infusion of good karma in her life, she inadvertently gets a stranger, Diana Harrington, fired from her job at the local pharmacy. Diana Harrington’s summer isn’t off to the greatest start either: Hours before losing her job, she broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of their shared house with only a worn-out Impala for a bed. Lucky for her, Gray has an empty guest house and a very guilty conscience. With Gray’s kindness, Diana’s tide begins to turn. But when her first love returns, every secret from her past seems to resurface all at once. And, as Gray begins to blaze a new trail, she discovers, with Diana’s help, that what she envisioned as her perfect life may not be what she wants at all. In her warmest, wisest novel yet, Kristy Woodson Harvey delivers a discerning portrait of modern womanhood through two vastly different lenses. Feels Like Falling is a beach bag essential for Harvey fans—and for a new generation of readers.

House Tour: Fishing Bay by Janie Molster

There’s a whole lot of fishing going on in the Harvey household right now. Morning, noon and night, after school, all weekend… So this stunning Fishing Bay house designed by Janie Molster (and Gordon Gregory Photography) seemed like a pretty fitting house to tour today. It’s the perfect place to spend weekends for fishing right outside the door–and an equally fabulous place to curl up with a good book or get a little work done if you suddenly find yourself home alone during a grand fishing expedition. Whether or not you’re a fishing fan, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this beautiful home with wonderful views to boot. Happy touring!

We hope you loved this charming, character-filled Fishing Bay home and the talented hand of Janie Molster just as much as we did! Here’s to the perfect catch!
